Any website in europe that sell custom engraved acrylic base?
Hi i'm looking to add some engraved acrylic base to a few of my minerals specimen, however i'm struggling to find a website that sell/send them from europe.
I've found a few US based website that sell these like stone-throne for exemple but as they are based in the US and i live in EU shipping can be quite expensive.
I remember a few years ago an Etsy listing that proposed this exact service but i cannot find it anymore.
Here a picture to illustrate what kind of acrylic base i'm talking about

SEM Mineral Identification Help
I have this data from an SEM and can’t figure out what mineral it could be. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to look at it in thin section so this is all I have to go off of. My teacher said it’s an aluminosilicate but I only know of the 3 main ones and those don’t have Fe or Mg. Any help would be appreciated

Rocks are fun until you have to clean them all.
Just a small portion of my quartz collection. Soms of my biggest specimens I have been putting off.

Reputable Moldavite Seller
Would anyone be willing to DM me with reputable companies that sell moldavite? I would like to buy my daughter a piece for Christmas to add to her rock and mineral collection, but am afraid of buying a fake piece. I would ask for the info to be posted here, but I believe that might violate the board’s rules since it could be construed as advertising.
Thank you!

What is this crystal?
Please someone help me, what is this beautiful crystal. I’d love to use it in my daily practice but I am unsure of what to do with her, I don’t know how to cleanse and appreciate this crystal and do not want to be treating it with any harm. I can’t find anything, it looks to me like a mix of selenite and clear quartz almost?

Help identify
My son and I hiked a volcano in Guatemala. He thinks it’s an iron ore. Is it just a red rock?

I think it’s an agate?
This is in a belt buckle, I think it’s an agate, not sure if I should take it out of the setting, is it worth anything?
