I pickled this up from a gem expo the other day


It's called Shattuckite. I had hever heard of it beforehand but it looked cool so I snatched it up. It's apparently a copper silicate and it's fibrous so if you touch it it'll get smooshed.

I adore rocks and minerals! I used to go to the rock and mineral shows and buy rough quartz or other cheap minerals like agate, and use them to make jewelry. I was an amateur lapidary.

I never got into this sort of mineral, because I was more interested in sculpting and jewelry and so on, but my brother had a beautiful collection of fluorescent rocks and minerals, and a black light!
@4meAndyou That's very cool!
