October's Collector's Pick looks like it was MADE for spooky season. 🎃🧡

Meet Realgar, an arsenic sulfide mineral known for its incredible red-orange colour and striking crystal formations.

But there's something unusual about this mineral...

☀️ Realgar doesn't particularly like light.

With prolonged light exposure, Realgar can undergo chemical and structural changes, producing yellow-orange alteration products and changing the appearance of a specimen over time. That's one reason collectors need to be thoughtful about how Realgar is displayed and stored.

And yes—the arsenic part is real. Realgar has been known and used by humans for centuries, including historically as a pigment, despite something we understand much better today: arsenic compounds require careful handling.

Today, good specimens are fascinating collector pieces combining mineralogy, chemistry, history, and a little danger. 👀

⚠️ Realgar specimens should be handled responsibly: avoid creating or inhaling dust, wash your hands after handling, and keep specimens away from children and pets.

💬 Would Realgar make it into your collection?

🎃 GUESS THE CRYSTAL — October Edition! 🔍💎

This month's mystery mineral definitely understood the Halloween colour palette. 🧡👀

Think you know what it is? Here are your clues:

🔍 CLUE #1: I'm famous for my incredibly vivid orange to red-orange colour and often form long, slender crystals.

🌎 CLUE #2: Some of the world's most spectacular specimens of me come from Tasmania, Australia.

🧪 CLUE #3: I'm a lead chromate mineral, and the chromium in my chemistry helps create my unforgettable colour.

🎃 BONUS CLUE: I'm surprisingly soft for something that looks this dramatic—only around 2.5–3 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Think you've got it? 👀

October babies really won the birthstone lottery. 🌈✨

October has two birthstones: Opal and Tourmaline, and neither is known for being boring.

🌈 Opal is famous for its play-of-colour, where flashes of different colours appear as the stone moves. Traditionally, Opal has been associated with creativity, inspiration, and imagination.

💗 Tourmaline occurs in an incredible range of colours—from pink and green to blue, black, and even multicoloured crystals. In crystal traditions, different varieties have developed their own associations, with Tourmaline commonly connected to grounding, protection, and emotional balance.

Two completely different stones. One very colourful month. ✨

💬 October babies—which one are you choosing: Opal or Tourmaline?
