    Yes, there is actually an official scientific scale to go by, when it comes to crystals and stones, called Mohs. For those out there who have a collection of crystals, this can be really helpful, but it's also rather interesting anyway. The Mohs Scale is a qualitative original scale that...

    My favorite rock shop in New Zealand

    When it comes to stores selling stones, while they they not be common, there are a fair few, yet when it comes to a decent variety and reasonable prices, that is what I find a rarity. The Rock Fella fits my requirements for variety and price, but on top of that, he goes out into the New...

    Cryptocurrencies for crystals

    I found the ad below an interesting shift toward cryptocurrencies. It is from a company that sells crystals. Since I have not yet done any 'homework' in this area of knowledge, I hadn't even heard of most of those currencies. Maybe I should get cracking? Also, I love the wordplay in their...

    Rocks from southwest Colorado

    If you ever visit our home, you will find bowls of rocks and shells in every room. I've picked them up, or rather they picked me since I was a little girl. On one of our moves, I overheard a conversation between a packer and my husband. "Sir, this is a box of rocks." .... long sigh... "I know...

    An afternoon at the local rock shop

    We ended up at our local rock shop this afternoon, and had such a happy experience. My husband had never been there, and I was surprised at how much he liked the place. We gravitated to the rough rock area, and he found a 1 lb rough pink opal from Australia. He was smiling as he held it - could...

    New Minerals and Crystals

    I thought this was a very interesting article...it's essentially how mankind and its use of technology, chemistry, etc. has resulted in the creation of many new crystalline forms of life. It had never really dawned on me before how even the small things we do can have such a profound effect on...

    Do crystals "fight" among themselves??

    I don't follow this Crystals group regularly, so may have missed a prior discussion - apologies if this is somehow a repeat. I have (or had) four crystals on black cords hanging from my neck: Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Quartz (??), and Clear Quartz - all are held with traditional silver wire...
