rocks

Help me find out what this rock is.

it's smooth, shiny, and those dots are sort of indentations? but you can barely barely feel them. The back has a diamond-shaped "hole" on the inside. The hole is rimmed in black.

so... what kind of rock is this?

No, it's a very deep pink! And the pink parts have sort of crackles in them (but like inside, you can't feel them).

Idk idk they obviously polished the shit out of it so I can't see cleavage or anything.

The top part has a sort of cleave going on. Like the top part kind of looks like a heart. Or a butt. There's a kind of a crack going on that I can feel with my nail.

I'd guess it was quartz but I'm not sure.

I have a big quartz heart that looks nothing like this lol

what are the speckles?

[identity profile] shadyperfection.livejournal.com 2012-01-27 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well quartz have many different looks. Once again I have no idea but I'm going to guess quartz because it's common.

What does your quartz heart look like.

the heart is the really common rose pale pink swirly kind, the kind you see everywhere.

Well like I said quartz or quartzite is my best guess. The specks could be pieces of sand or other minerals like potassium feldspars.

oooooooh. What sort of minerals make it pink?

[identity profile] shadyperfection.livejournal.com 2012-01-27 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Like the specks? Then I would guess potassium feldspar off the top of my head because it can be pink.

But if you are talking about the rock itself I believe pink quartz is caused by titanium impurities.

lol I meant either I guess. I'm fascinated by this stuff. Like Ametrine is my favorite precious stone because it's so cool. It just decides halfway through it wants to be another stone!

[identity profile] shadyperfection.livejournal.com 2012-01-27 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ametrine is quartz too! Everything is quartz!

lol yes I know! That's why I mentioned it! Because it is quartz and it is AWESOME.

TBH when have trouble identifying a mineral in a rock in my Geology class I just put down quartz.

I love watching jewelry television because they're always going on about ~exotic~ gemstones and I'm like "but guys. it's quartz." like aquamarine is SO RARE but at the same time... it's quartz.

[identity profile] shadyperfection.livejournal.com 2012-01-27 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. LOL

I've always liked limestone the most tbh. It at least has fossils.



No no wait. Obsidian. I love obsidian.

I know about a lot of this stuff because some of it is gemstones!
