I have some of this material I would like help getting straightened out. The first is clearly labeled, "Lemon Citron Chrysoprase." It's darker than the others. Then I have these ones, put in the same bag but different: I also have slabs like this with some webbing in them: Would these be also lemon chrysoprase, or are they lemon magnesite? Are there tests I should run on them to figure the difference?

They are the same thing. Lemon chrysoprase is the popular name.

rockjunquie - Lemon Chyroprase = trade name for Lemon Magnesite - Different looks = different locals?

Thanks rockjunquie- after I did some research, I found it is the same stuff. Also good for stomaches? WTF. I was trying to see how workable it was as a material... just for info not for myself to work on. Didn't find anything other than metaphysical properties.

tribeunited It's really soft, but polishes well. It makes pretty if not boring cabs. The webbed one would make better cabs.

I don’t remember which rock it was but one of the rocks I was hunting down info on can connect with aliens to transport your consciousness to another dimension…

cabby Did you mean this one? That would likely do it too! Realized it was “andara crystal”. I was finding a huge variety of claims for that one. Had stumbled across the existence of Andara crystal while trying to figure out what to use my slag for (now snowflake obsidian), then spent far too much time trying to figure out what the heck it IS since info on that was all across the board as well. I am not into metaphysical things so will keep my opinions to myself. Definitely a topic that I can’t participate in without sounding rude or condescending.

Here we go again! I thought the one that connects you to aliens was that psilomelane cab that jasoninsd made while he was absent. You two!

rockjunquie - thanks for the info on the mineral. That's what i was trying to find when I went down the metaphysical rabbit hole.
