🎊 UGLY ROCK THURSDAY – WE HAVE A WINNER! 🪨 I'm happy to announce that this week's winning rock has officially been cut, and WOW, what a surprise hiding inside! Just look at this thing! 😍 We've got some absolutely stunning iron-looking crystal formations scattered throughout, along with what appears to be another interesting black crystal structure. The contrast between the dark matrix and those golden-yellow crystals is incredible. This is exactly why I love this weekly challenge. Sometimes the ugliest rocks on the outside are hiding something pretty spectacular on the inside! 🔍 But we're not done yet! Later today, I'll be introducing our next rock to replace this week's winner and keep the challenge rolling. And there's a little surprise waiting that I'll show everyone once I'm back home. 😉 What do you think those golden crystals and black structures might be? Drop your thoughts below. Let's see what everyone comes up with! 💎

This has to be one of the best stones that work so well in a necklace I believe we are looking at more of an opaque and fractured green tourmaline, with the possibility of some epidote in quartz, and it has traces of rainbow pyrite. Had to look this one up, and stupid AI tells me the wrong stone 98% of the time. Or can I be off?? See 4 photos for example👇

It's that time of the week again! You get to vote on which rock we cut next. We've got 4 rocks to choose from, and it's up to you to pick the winner! 🗳️ Voting starts today (Thursday)! 🔨 Next Thursday, we'll cut the rock that gets the most votes. 🪨 On cutting day, I'll add a new rock to the list so we can keep the challenge going week after week. We'll do our best to keep this rolling every week, so you get to be part of the fun and see what's hiding inside these rocks! Now let's hear it! Which rock are you picking? Drop your vote below! 👇

Drusy and lace agate. Just on a stroll in the woods this weekend!
