wonga84 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have recently bought a collection of minerals off of ebay and would like help identifying some of them. I've managed to ID quite a few but any help with the rest would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Phill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 5 looks allot like Vanadinite, 6 quartz or calcite perhaps... 4 is very interesting and perhaps orange calcite.... I;ll wait for someone more learned to chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_day Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 5 does look like it might be vanadinite. But it also looks like it might be realgar or pararrealgar. No clue on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree with Bill that 4 is orange Calcite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonga84 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thank you everyone, I've been looking more into them and I've seen a few pictures that look like number 6. It looks very similar to 'celestine/celestite' if anyone could confirm that would be great. I've also checked 'orange calcite' and I agree completely so thank you Bill and Haderly. Number 5 also I would have to agree you Bill and D_day, I looked up vanadinite and it looks pretty much identical. I looked under a magnifying glass and the crystal shapes are squared for sure. I'm very excited about this mineral now, it's a shame I didn't own a better specimen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
