Hey, how long have you had your blog? I have a minerals,crystals and gemstone blog myself (all my own, personal collection). I started my blog in February. Was just wondering how long it took you to gain so many. Thanks ^_^

I'm pretty sure your citrine is actually heat treated amethyst

Dont feel too bad - apparently most ‘citrine’ out there is actually heat treated amethyst. Real citrine is relatively rare. It looks more like this (more lemon yellow than golden brown): http://www.minerals.net/gemstone/citrine.aspx?img=/RoughImage/3/9/Citrine.aspx

Thanks for this submission. I didn’t know that could be done! I love learning from my followers. Heat treating or metal treating doesn’t bother me, it’s really only unnatural dyes that get to me. At least it starts from amethyst, a member of the same quartz family. I still think my gift from my mom is beautiful and special.

should really be made of minerals. Like my Amethyst Eggy could totally knock over your Shattuckite Sharkey. Oh well. They’re not. But I am selling regular old plastic ones on my eBay shop. You could always pretend…..
