I like quartz. It's available in beautiful crystals at modest prices in a variety of colors. Unfortunately, I don't have any. I had a piece of a bluish piezo-electic quartz which had some gold in it. I bought it a long time ago and cannot find it since we moved. |

I like Quartz as well...
I collect various crystals as well, but treasure one given me by a Creek Indian friend. It's a tiny perfect crystal, and now resides in my (g.g.g.g. grandfather's) medicine bag. win |

I always was more interested in mineral behaviour (exolution, order/disorder, strain) than minerals per se but i always stayed to my old love azurite/malachite intergrowth. |

A favorite, wow. Never thought of it. I am a rock collecter from the age of 5. Weather it be diamonds or quartz, I love them all ![]() Give me rocks and more rocks ![]() Ama |

I just love gemstones crystals and especially spinels, rubies and sapphires and diamonds... Among them I really love unusual spinel crystals as macles or twins. But also I like nice chrysoberyls, tourmalines, peridots, topaz, danburite, quartz and even iron ores! do you want to have a look on what I like? Please visit the following link: http://www.gemwow.com/category_list.php?cat1=2 Have a nice visit! |

peacock ore. i don't know what it is, and i don't think it really counts as a mineral, but i love it. i've loved geology and especially minerals since i was a kid, i think it mostly gets channeled into jewelry now. |
