Hi Blog,
While hunting the rest of my remaining stones, I found a good amount of reference to get RED fluorescent mineral. So finding a Reality Stone will be easy but not... Let me share my hunt with you
 |
| Many said I can get Red fluorescent from Calcite, so I got one easily |
 |
| Hmm, this mineral crystal looks rather huge... I should learn to check its measurement before purchase. It is about the size of my palm. |
 |
| but there are many beautiful crystals on this mineral. Nice |
 |
| I tried with my first big UV torch... Overly hue by UV |
 |
| Tested it with my Convey 2+ it shows a bit of redness or... PURPLE?! |
Overall... This big Calcite mineral is not ideal for Reality Stone because it looks spread out... Continue hunting.. the next few days (it shipped immediately and express delivery which I didn't request for... expensive postal fee...) Another Calcite for its redness in their listing images.
 |
| When it arrived... It was broken and fragile... Worst of all, they measured the size of the whole thing and never know it will come in this petite size... |
|
|
| It is not red... but purple unless I used the short-wavelength lamp. The crystals do make the collection looked interesting. |
Same seller (just in case) I got myself another Calcite.
 |
| Lamellar Calcite |
 |
| Short wavelength does bring out the fluorescent intensity but it is purple... |
 |
| But under Long-wavelength, it is red but not bright enough... |
Sigh... Really... Trying to find a good Reality Stone seemed so unsmooth... Let's get the last one and got one which looks like a crystal tooth.
|
|
| Beautiful tooth crystal of Calcite but under Long-wavelength, it looks purplish... |
 |
| It looks pale under short-wavelength... |
Seriously... it is totally not acceptable... :( Since I will stick to Long-Wavelength, This tooth Calcite Crystal will be selected...
But after three months (long waiting for that mineral to arrive), the one which I have a lot of hope for had arrived! The Ideal Reality Stone had come!
|
|
| I thought it was lost along the way and waiting for three months, wasting my resources... This arrival marked a good closure for my collection! |
 |
| Thank you :) thank you for REALLY sending these stones. |
|
|
| This mineral has Ruby and Cordierite. The red is Ruby. What a precious stone to own. |
 |
| OOPS! I misspelled the word, Ruby... Oh dear...But at least, it is Real to hold. |
What a challenging journey to collect these stones... Reality and Time Stones. But the last two arrived at the same time... three months of waiting... Really impact my wallet... I won't regret and I should not.
