RE: Market Friday:looking for a piece of Shungite.

Ah, very nice to see some crystal shops from your part of the world. The spheres with the yellow needles are rutile in quartz and the Asians love them. So much so they have really driven up the price.

There is another sphere I saw in your pictures that is worth a decent amount. It's the Ocean Jasper, orbicular patterns of different colors. The deposit was mined out, but it has become worth so much $$ that the miners are now following the vein into the ocean!

Congrats on getting the Shungite. Hope it helps you.

Glad you enjoy the short tour. These shops are sort of low ends shops with modest pricing. There’s another place at jj mall which has several shops selling top grade stones and crystals. Too expensive for me!

Ya I could tell, but most of them probably don't know much about the good stuff so occasionally you can find a gem in the rough!

Yay. That’s a shame that these Chinese vendors have very little knowledge about rocks and crystals.
