[QUOTE="wayneqld, post: 315508, member: 9609"] Hi Shivan, after some more searching you are right, #5 is red calcite, like this: [img]http://curiogrove.com/images/cal005.jpg[/img] I was a bit inaccurate with it's breakability.. I cannot break these samples with my hands, but they are brittle if hit with something. I will try cutting that #1 Quartz into something interesting as its a good size and shape (with some reasonable transparency) to do so I think :) [/QUOTE]
