- Alexandrite8.5 Mohs · chrysoberyl · heart, crownAlexandrite should not exist. Beryllium collects in granite pegmatites, near the top of the crust. Chromium belongs to ultramafic rock…
Ammonite3.5-4.5 Mohs · organic · root, crownThis was an animal. It swam, it died out with the dinosaurs, and it sank into seabed mud. The mud turned to rock and swapped the shell…
Calcite (Coloured Varieties)3 Mohs · carbonate · sacral, solar-plexus, heartCalcite is lime that water carried and put back down in a hole in the rock. It is soft. A copper coin marks it. Drop vinegar on it and…- Chalcedony6 to 7 Mohs · quartz · throatChalcedony is quartz that never grew up into crystals. Instead of one clear six sided prism, it is billions of quartz fibres, each…
Chrysoprase6-7 Mohs · chalcedony · heartChrysoprase lives through almost anything except a sunny sill. Strong light pulls the apple green out of it, and it does not come back…
Emerald7.5-8 Mohs · silicate · heartNearly every emerald you will ever see has oil pressed into its cracks. Cedarwood oil usually, worked into the fissures until they stop…
Magnesite3.5-4.5 Mohs · carbonate · crown, heartSomebody dyed this. Most of the cheap turquoise in a mall case is plain white magnesite that was soaked in blue until it took. Undyed it…
Milky Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · crownThis is the cheapest thing in the case and it will outlast almost everything beside it. Milky quartz is plain quartz clouded by water…
Moonstone6-6.5 Mohs · feldspar · sacral, third-eye, crownTilt it under a lamp and a blue-white light slides over the surface. Stop tilting and it is gone. Moonstone is feldspar that separated…
Morganite7.5-8 Mohs · silicate · heartAlmost every morganite in a case went into an oven at about four hundred degrees. The heat pulls the yellow out and leaves a cleaner…
Moss Agate6.5-7 Mohs · chalcedony · heart, rootThe moss in this is not moss. It is mineral threads that grew inside the silica before it hardened, sharp and three dimensional when…
Ocean Jasper6.5-7 Mohs · chalcedony · heart, throatIt is not a jasper. Silica soaked into old Madagascan lava and replaced it, keeping the little balls of crystal that grew while the lava…
Opalite5.5-6 Mohs · man-made · crown, third-eyeSomebody made this in a furnace. Molten glass with a little tin and titanium stirred in to scatter the light blue, then poured and…
Optical Calcite3 Mohs · carbonate · crown, third-eyeSet a clear piece over a line of writing and the line doubles. That is not a trick. Light splits in two on its way through the stone…
Orthoceras3-4 Mohs · organic · root, third-eyeThe shape in the slab was alive. A shelled animal, drifting in a warm sea hundreds of millions of years ago. It sank into mud and the…- Pearl2.5 to 3 Mohs · organic · heart, sacralA pearl starts as a problem. Something works its way inside a mollusc and cannot be pushed back out, so the animal covers it. Layer…
Phantom Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · third-eye, crownLook into it and there is a smaller crystal in there, with the same shape and the same points. It grew. Then it stopped, long enough for…- Pink Tourmaline7 to 7.5 Mohs · tourmaline · heartPink tourmaline grows in pegmatite, the last wet pocket of a granite as it cools and gives up whatever the rest of the rock would not…
Rainbow Moonstone6-6.5 Mohs · feldspar · third-eye, crown, sacralThis is white labradorite, a feldspar. It is not moonstone at all. Moonstone is a different feldspar. Somebody in the trade renamed it…
Rhodochrosite3.5-4 Mohs · carbonate · heart, solar-plexusThe pink and white bands are not a pattern anybody chose. Water carrying manganese ran through the same opening for a very long time…
Rose Quartz7 Mohs · quartz · heartRose quartz is plain quartz with microscopic pink fibres caught inside it. It grows in the coarse heart of granite. It is mined by the…- Ruby9 Mohs · corundum · root, heartRuby is aluminium oxide that got contaminated. Corundum grows colourless. Then a few chromium atoms take the place of aluminium in the…
Ruby in Zoisite6-9 Mohs · rock (aggregate) · heart, rootDeep underground, heat and pressure grew two things at once in one rock. Green zoisite. Red corundum, which is the mineral we call ruby…
Satin Spar2 Mohs · sulphate · crownThat silky white tower is not selenite. It is satin spar, the fibrous form of gypsum, carved by the container load in Morocco. Same…
Selenite2 Mohs · sulphate · crown, third-eyeYou were told to rinse your stones. Do not rinse this one. Water dissolves selenite. Salt etches it. A humid bathroom shelf pits the…
