Soft stones anonymous

[davi_el_mejor]

My name is Davi and I am a soft stone junky.

Sphene and sphalerite are my drugs... I mean stones... of choice.

This is my newest sphalerite. Weight: 0.65 cts. Size: 9.14 x 4.70 mm. So deliciously green and electric and sparkly... and soft.

Show me your softer side

I'm down for this, some of my best optically performing stones are my soft ones! First is my sweet home mine rhodochrosite

 

[Xrisus]

This is a 1.39ct green sphalerite from Balmat, New York.

2 specimens of Malagasy Apatite

 

[Xrisus]

Albeit, not as soft-a rhodonite, and lazulite

 

[pregcurious]

These are all lovely. I didn't know about lazulite.

 

[Xrisus]

I used to think I was going to set my lazulite, but faceted specimens are so hard to come by; I'll probably just keep it as a gem specimen in my collection for now.

I love all these! The colours are wow and on some, the dispersion is so pretty.

Davi as a fellow soft stoner I understand you completely! Interestingly I nearly always set mine and *touch wood* haven't had any accidents ........... yet!

Gorgeous, all! I don't have any, but love morganite. Apatite too. Your apatite trilliant is blindingly saturated, Xrisus, lovely.
