Correct. More specifically though, it's also called a desert roseMagikarpmaster629 wrote:1. BariteClematis wrote:[img]http://www.minerals.net/MineralImages/barite4.jpg[/img] 1. Identify 2. What are crystals that form with this habit (and coloring) commonly called?

ID the two minerals and list a difference in their properties key to differentiating them:

top is augite?? Bottom ishornblende
Um they have slightly diff cleavage angles to tell them apart, otherwise it's really hard

Was about to upload a screenshot showing how to do it, but realized the forum update appears to have broken the permissions again... once bernard fixes it, it's on a tab at the bottom next to "Options."bonysteak wrote:er...rookie question, how do I upload a photo?

You could try uploading your pictures to a free image hosting site. Then you could take the image URL from there to display it here.bonysteak wrote:I wanted to post my own picture from my desktop but couldn't figure out how D:

Assuming the white mineral the main crystal in the picture is on is quartz - SiO2, that would make the green crystal Epidote - Ca2(Al,Fe)2(SiO4)3(OH) by process of elimination because Olivine and Quartz don't like forming together due to their opposite ends in the Bowen's reaction series.
