This one's what I call a Jelly sandwich - I'm calling it this until someone corrects me. The jelly seems to go all the way through, I took picture of 3 sides. I have run ZERO tests on it, so if you can't spot identify it, please don't trouble yourself going to extremes! I'm posting this because I promised dreamrocks I'd give her something else to play around with. So for you, miss dreamrocks, and for anyone else who wants to take a bite of this jelly sandwich, have at it!

I see either dark green or just black tourmaline could be both on & in quartz and the reddish pink is tourmaline to Shine a flashlight on the black crystals to determine black or green tourmaline
Nice piece Yummy got any more eye candy? Please bring it on

Ya know the more I look at your jelly sandwich It looks to be what was a decent watermelon tourmaline before being damaged but it’s definitely tourmaline on quartz
A very decent specimen too! There’s a lot going on with that stone!

I agree 100% with dreamrocks. I saw "tourmaline" when I first looked at it.

Yup the only thing wrong that didn’t mention was It was a crystal of watermelon tourmaline before being damaged
That also has other tourmalines

Now that’s a very busy stone that has everything.
At first glance I see fluorite came to mind Next I see what looks like amethyst the purple
Then the bytroidal (pee green bumps) looks like prenight
Gonna have to give me a few to digest this one Hold on it’s coming to me slowly but the name of it is hiding from me!

I am! I said fluorite that’s what this is and the batteries in my flashlight are dead so I had to use different overhead light and it’s not showing much at all. It has purple, gold, orange and banding to this is a completely rough piece that nothing except a little soap & water that has been done to it. These are wet These are dry As soon as this thunderstorm passes by and stops lightning I think I’ll toss it on the cab king after seeing yours. I have been here thunder and seeing lightning since 2 this afternoon and not a drop of rain. Soon as it stops gonna shine this puppy up

I'm not really into crystals and such, but this is amazing. LOVE the vivid colors!
Do you have any cobalto calcite? Talk about yumminess and vivid color!!!
