moonstone & citrine?
just wondering about these two, I think they're a moonstone (on the left) and a citrine, what do you think?

Re: moonstone & citrine?
Hi Lorraine!...I think the one on the left is calcite, and the right one is possibly citrine, is it a little yellow? the photo is not doing it justice. Anyway that's my thoughts...

Re: moonstone & citrine?
Thanks for that.
The one on the right is kind of sparkly, a bit see through in the middle with a goldy/yellow streak across the middle. The one on the right looks kind of dull when you first look at it , but when you look closely is is quite iridescent with hidden depths and layers.
It's quite hard to get a clear enough photo, that is small enough to up load to forum

I think you're right about the left one being moonstone but I have no idea about the other.

Re: moonstone & citrine?
After comparing them to my own and various pictures on the net it looks to me as they are Calcite and Citrine

The one on the right might be a yellow aventurine. Not sure. Aventurine is characterized by the sparkles.
Update: Oh. Most likely citrine based on the pictures I Googled. Yellow adventurine is near opaque hazy. My apologies.
