ayo /an/tists what dat stone is it diamonds? I am very new

It isn't diamonds, but I don't know what it is specifically. There's some people on here that know more than I do though.

neeed better pictures from several angles.

appears to be on marine limestone so it's prbbly calcite, dolomite, or gypsum.

Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing. I recognize them but dont remember the name, its been so long. I was actually puzzled by the grey bottom part. Im sure even a moderately experienced geologist would be able to help when they show up.

Im rather certain they arent biological. The look like they formed rather quickly though.

From that photo I would guess at the grey rock being a limestone with the white, crystalline mineral being calcite. No diamonds unfortunately

Heads up: if you aren't near an ancient volcanic site, You are never going to find diamonds.

can anybody tell me what this thing is? I've had it forever and don't know where to start looking. My guess would be it's maybe some kind of travertine or calcite?

But that is wrong, there are diamonds in Brazil.

Take it to the vet.

Regarding crystals, or I suppose rocks generally-

When you classify something by a name, are there levels of structure, like there are with proteins?

For example, is it possible to find formations of the same compound but with different formations due to the time and conditions they were subject to?

By analogy, I might find frozen water, snow and hail as three different formations, the same substance but formed differently with visibly distinct identifiable patterns.

So if someone calls a crystal "XYZ", are they referring to the compound, a mixture, the formation pattern, or perhaps all three?

I ate a crystal once. Will I die?

eventually

I hope they cure death in the next ten years then. Only for a few people at a time so it doesn't get crowded.

You can check if its calc with sour. Bubble means it reacts with ?calcite?
