Help identifying two crystals?

Post by PearlGirl »

So I have these two crystals in my collection and I’m having trouble identifying two of them. I’m a crystal (and general witchcraft) newbie but I think the larger greenish one might be jade. I’m not sure about the other one.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!ImageImage

I am not sure on the orange, I would consider SpiritTalker's suggestion.

Personally I thought of suggesting serpentine a darker variety for the 1st photo of the green stone, but do not take my word for it, I am not positive.

Hope you are able to identify them both.

If any rock and mineral shows visit your area, that would be a good place to have them assessed and identified.

The orange one is tumbled Citrine x

The green one ...a mystery, could be chert..but probably not.
I'm fairly certain the orange one is carnealian.
Where did you get them?

Thank you everyone for the suggestions/guesses. I got them at a local store. Unfortunately I live in pretty much the middle of nowhere so there are no expos or anything near me that could help me identify them. The store I got them at has since closed as well, so that is a no-go. I have small slips of paper that went with crystals, but I’ve gotten and lost so many that I don’t even know if I have the corresponding ones or not.
I have two of the slips that could go to these stones. One is citrine and one is jade. Any chance the top one is jade?

The one is definitely citrine. the other one could be a type of jade, but it is very hard to tell without being able to see it in person. It could be tumbled green calcite, but pretty sure it is not serpentine or aventurine.
