This book is about minerals, crystals and rocks as you can see in the title. I will give information about a gemstone, information about their location and even the names of their shapes.
Here, you will find the different natural formations and conditons of crystals. I will show images as well.
1. Tumbled.

Tumbled gemstones are rounded and oval-shaped. Just because they are tumbled, does not mean they are fake. Some gemstones are naturally tumbled by lakes, rivers and beaches. You can also tumble your own gemstones, but that will not be featured on this page.
2. Geode.

Geodes are a rock body that is hollow on the inside and have crystals lined all over. To find a geode, you must check for bumps, a circular shape and shake to see if it is hollow. Not all geodes will make it obvious that it is hollow. To break a geode, you can use a hammer or any tool that can break something. But be careful, the crystals inside can be sharp.
3. Clear.

As it says in the name, clear crystals are clear. Clear crystals are usually called "Quartz crystals". Sometimes, glass can be mistaken for clear quartz. To find out wether your clear crystals are real or actually just glass will be featured on another page.
4. Rutilated Crystals.

Rutilated crystals/rutilated quartz is when the crystal has smaller, needle-like black crystals inside them. They look like string, blisters or strands of hair when inside.

Natural point crystals are crystals that are naturally pointed as seen in the image and cut by mother nature. It is untouched and some may have flaws, but not man-made. These are pretty rare, and the more clearer and pointier the tip is, the more valuable.
