Today, I finally bit the bullet and upgraded phones for the purpose of having the better camera. I am not one that embraces technology or change all that well, so this is a big step for me. As photos are so important to the work we do, I thought it was important though. Tonight’s post is the first official photo attempt. Our test subject is a large piece of rough Sugilite with Bustamite and Richterite from South Africa. There is lots to learn, but so far I am liking the camera 📸 - - - #newphone #sugilite #sugilitestone #sugilitepurple #richterite #bustamite #bustamitesugiliterichterite #sugiliterough #newcamera #minerals #mineral #mineralspecimens #roughstones #unpolished #unpolishedstone #crystalmagic #crystalstones #crystalsofig #crystalsofinstagram #meditation #energyhealing #heartchakrahealing #crownchakra #rareminerals #rarecrystals #lovesugilite #crystalvibes #crystalporn #crystalcommunity #handsofspirit (at Hands of Spirit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7SCsOHnM0B/?igshid=1dyzgw0777518

Why shungite is known as soft stone?

Shungite ranks 3.5 to 4.0 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it a soft gemstone that can be scratched or damaged more easily than other stones in your collection. With a low toughness, it is recommended to avoid activities that might result in accidental blows that can cause chipping or breaks. It is common for shungite to have a black powdery residue on it even after it is cleansed. Rough and unpolished shungite is more likely to have a little residue, while polished forms may or may not have it. Know more about shungite by visiting the education page of ShopLC.
