A Plate of Gemstones! Can you identify each crystal?

in science •  7 years ago 

Thanks for posting this. We need more gem and mineral collectors posting. Although you need good pictures to properly identify minerals, here it goes. Pink - rose quartz
Green - malachite
Light Blue - blue chalcedony
2nd Blue - kyanite
Light Green - agate or possibly jadeite
Purple - tanzanite or corundum
Colorless right corner - quartz .

Hi thanks! I know, will have to find out how to take decent pictures!
I thought the tanzanite was going to be the tricky one, but you got that :-)
The two greens - the larger one is translucent (which might help) and the other should be a green-blue.

The translucent green one looks like green calcite, as I have a piece that looks the same!

almost right! :-)
