Help identify what's on this quartz
Hey everybody. Can you please tell me what kind of shiny mineral is on this piece? A friend gave it to me, I have a guess that is mica but I'm not an expert. Thanks!

Any idea what this is?
Its supposed to be a kitchen countertop, this picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s stunning to look at in person.

Where/ how to sell mineral rights?
Maybe the wrong place to post and if it is please excuse me and if you know where to point me I’d appreciate it.
I was given a decent amount of mineral rights when I was born and I’ve just had them sitting around for decades now and I’m hoping to sell them.
I generally don’t know much about them and the paperwork isn’t exactly cut and dry either. Any help would be appreciated

What is the opalescent stuff on this crystal?
Was sold to me as smoky Amethyst, tests as spinel on my pressidium but I don’t put too much stock in that. Got it for $5 at an antique store. Have scored tons of unique crystals there before.
