What is the difference between a crystal, mineral and gemstone?

A mineral is a naturally occurring solid with a defined composition and crystal structure. A crystal describes ordered internal structure and often visible crystal form. A gemstone is a material valued for beauty, rarity, durability or use in jewellery.

Why do some stones have trade names?

Crystal retail uses scientific mineral names, gem names and trade names. Some trade names are useful, but they can also be broad. Luna Panther listings should always be read alongside product photos, weights, measurements and material notes.

Can crystals go in water?

Some can tolerate a quick wipe, but many should not be soaked. Selenite, calcite, malachite, pyrite, celestite and many delicate specimens should be kept dry. When unsure, use a dry cloth and keep the piece away from water.

Agate

A banded form of chalcedony in the quartz family, often seen in slices, geodes, druzy edges and polished shapes.

Look for banding, translucency, small quartz-lined pockets and earthy colour changes. Luna Panther customers often choose agate when they want a specimen that feels both grounding and decorative.

This is usually a practical choice for regular crystal buyers because the quartz or chalcedony family tends to hold a polish well. Compare the exact photos for colour, pattern, inclusions and any natural pits rather than expecting two pieces to match.

Best placement: choose a spot that matches the stone's toughness. Durable polished pieces can be handled more often, while raw clusters and delicate specimens deserve a calmer display position.

For the broadest choice, start with the Agate collection and then narrow by shape, size, colour, finish and whether the piece is a one-off specimen.

Care note: Keep dry, dust gently and avoid harsh household cleaners.

Amazonite

A blue-green feldspar loved for soft colour, pale patterning and easy gift appeal.

Choose amazonite when you want a calm-looking stone with gentle colour rather than heavy sparkle. It works well as tumbles, angels, towers and polished pieces.

This stone is best judged by light play, colour tone and surface quality. A good listing should make the flash, sheen or feldspar pattern easy to understand from the photos.

Best placement: choose a spot that matches the stone's toughness. Durable polished pieces can be handled more often, while raw clusters and delicate specimens deserve a calmer display position.

Amber

A fossil resin rather than a true mineral, valued for warm honey colour and organic inclusions.

Amber belongs in a crystal guide because customers search for it with stones and jewellery. Choose it for lightweight warmth, not for hard-wearing mineral toughness.

For Luna Panther customers, the strongest choice is normally the piece with the clearest photos, honest material name, useful measurements and a shape that suits how it will be used: shelf display, meditation space, jewellery, gifting or a pocket stone.

Best placement: choose a spot that matches the stone's toughness. Durable polished pieces can be handled more often, while raw clusters and delicate specimens deserve a calmer display position.

Amethyst

A purple variety of quartz, ranging from pale lavender to deep violet and often found as points, clusters, geodes and polished forms.

At Luna Panther, amethyst is one of the strongest display stones: rich colour, natural sparkle and a classic crystal presence. Compare depth of colour, point shape and matrix before buying.

This is usually a practical choice for regular crystal buyers because the quartz or chalcedony family tends to hold a polish well. Compare the exact photos for colour, pattern, inclusions and any natural pits rather than expecting two pieces to match.

Best placement: visible display areas where colour can do the work. These stones often earn their keep when they are seen, turned in the light and allowed to become a focal point.

For the broadest choice, start with the Amethyst collection and then narrow by shape, size, colour, finish and whether the piece is a one-off specimen.

Care note: Quartz is durable, but points and druzy faces should still be handled carefully.

Ametrine

A natural quartz variety where amethyst purple and citrine yellow appear in one stone.

Ametrine is useful for customers who like two-tone stones and want something brighter than classic amethyst. Look for clear colour zoning rather than muddy blending.

Angel Aura Quartz

Quartz treated with a fine metallic coating to create an iridescent rainbow surface.

Choose angel aura for shimmer, colour play and gift appeal. The effect is a finish on quartz, so compare the coating quality and shape.

Apache Tear

A rounded form of black obsidian, usually small and naturally water-worn in appearance.

Apache tears suit customers who like discreet, dark stones rather than large glossy statement pieces.

Think of this as natural glass. It can look strong and dramatic, but chips and sharp edges matter, so photographs, measurements and condition notes are especially important.

Pyrite

An iron sulfide mineral with metallic gold colour, often called fool's gold.

Pyrite is bold, reflective and structural. Choose by crystal form, shine and stability of the specimen.

For Luna Panther customers, the strongest choice is normally the piece with the clearest photos, honest material name, useful measurements and a shape that suits how it will be used: shelf display, meditation space, jewellery, gifting or a pocket stone.

Best placement: grounding corners, desks, treatment rooms or simple modern displays where darker minerals can add contrast without making the space feel busy.

For the broadest choice, start with the Pyrite collection and then narrow by shape, size, colour, finish and whether the piece is a one-off specimen.

Care note: Keep dry; pyrite can tarnish or degrade in damp conditions.

Quartz

A major mineral family including clear quartz, amethyst, citrine, smoky quartz, rose quartz and more.

Quartz is one of the most useful families to understand because it appears in so many forms. Compare colour, inclusions, crystal faces and polish.

This is usually a practical choice for regular crystal buyers because the quartz or chalcedony family tends to hold a polish well. Compare the exact photos for colour, pattern, inclusions and any natural pits rather than expecting two pieces to match.

Best placement: choose a spot that matches the stone's toughness. Durable polished pieces can be handled more often, while raw clusters and delicate specimens deserve a calmer display position.
