ITT favorite minerals ^o^

[Samus Aran]

My favorite is Malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2). It's rather common, and not very valuable, but the best examples of it have a striking green shade that I just love. When well-formed crystals are exposed, they've got a nice, shiny luster and commonly have bands of different shades of green covering them.

As with any mineral, it's pretty dull unless you find a specimen that happens to have large, well-formed, exposed crystals. You can find polished individual crystals of malachites pretty much anywhere that polished rocks are normally sold. Very common, like I said.



What's your favorite mineral?

(btw if what you say isn't actually a mineral i'll be happy to correct and bash you ^o^)

Sapphires... they're just so blue...

I guess the correct mineral family would be corundum

I just googled that lovely mineral and got the saggiest tits I've ever seen in my life.

Also, emeralds are nice.

Morganites are also pretty awesome, which are beryls just like emeralds, only they're usually an orange to red color.

IT'S SO SHARP

It's also quite hard. It leaves good-size marks in glass, and nails can't do shit to it.
