so going clockwise from the top right. the ones on the right, Mom got me off temu as part of my birthday present months ago. the ones on the left, I got last night along with the key. and then there's dice I got forever ago to the left of that, and my blue bag of runes in the background.

can't remember what the red is. green looks like jade, purple is amethyst, brown I assume is tiger's eye, and two small smooth pieces of quartz. it's missing lapis lazuli that threw itself down the drain the first night I shadowed a tour at the shop/ company I'm gonna be working with.

the rest on the left I got last night at a local witchy store. well, they appear to have expanded here to New Orleans but got their start in Salem? I went into Omens but apparently they're the sister store to Hex: Old World Witchery. (old world they say, but have voodoo stuff on their shops, smh. xP)

there's a hunk of quartz there at the bottom that's the clearest, and to the left of it is opalite. the black is supposedly jet and the purple with green specks is grape agate?

both the brown one, and the clear one with orange, were in the bin that said aragonite

the bright green with the swirls is malachite and the green with white is apparently tree agate

some more pictures from different angles. the picture with the black background is from last night right after I'd gotten them because that's my skirt, lol

so according to the labels in the shop I got them from:

opalite: to work on self-love, improve mood, & attract business

jet: for divination & "to invoke the Great Goddess"

grape agate: prophetic dreams, visions, & intense meditation

aragonite: to draw upon the energies of "the Earth Goddess"

tree agate: to restore energy, relax, & connect deeply with nature

malachite: for love, balance, guarding children, & protection

Idk how I feel about those descriptions but they definitely jumped out at/ called to me, and for similar feelings to what the description said even if the descriptions didn't feel or seem quite completely the most accurate.

While it’s true that coral is a living creature(s), it’s also treated as a gemstone. Coral skeletons can come in a number of different colors— yes, white is most common, but some corals, like “precious” or red corals, are colored that way due to the presence of carotenoid pigments. That’s definitely red coral in the picture.

According to the American Gem Trade Association, “Coral is commonly enhanced to improve its color and durability. White coral is typically bleached, pink coral is treated with a colorless wax, and orange coral is stabilized with plastic. Black coral is frequently bleached to create gold coral. Occasionally, red coral is dyed to deepen its color.”

It’s a really easily scratchable gemstone, though, and one i would generally not suggest buying firsthand due to coral reefs being highly endangered. I cannot speak to the veracity of any other gemstones on this list.

hear me out the other day i woke up and was immediately hit in the face with "7 year gap narumitsu in europe where phoenix kisses edgeworth in a low moment and then tries to flee and edgeworth uses mind chess on him to get the truth out of him which is a completely normal and ordinary average way to discuss your relationship"

always a fun time when real life people are doomed by their own narratives. like guys you know it doesn’t have to be like this right? this isn’t a stageplay the foreshadowing isn’t real until you make it real
