What's the best crystal you ever bought or received?

My best friend gave me a smoky quartz cluster for my birthday a few years back, said she picked it up at a garage sale for five bucks. But so it turns out it's a rare form from Colorado with some light rutile inclusions. What I then did was I had it appraised later out of curiosity and the guy said it would go for a few hundred bucks at gem shows. I like the energy, too.
 
Damn, thats some luck.. Smoky quartz with rutile inclusions from Colorado can def be valuable, especially if its a well formed cluster. The price estimate sounds about right for gem shows, depending on size and its clarity. But honestly, the sentimental value and good energy probably make it even more priceless especially considering shes a best friend.
 
That's an awesome surprise find, smoky quartz with rutile is such a cool combo, and the Colorado origin makes it even more special
 
That's a gem indeed!

For me it's the amethyst. After struggling with insomnia for way too long, this was a lifesaver
 
Many people consider amethyst the best crystal they've bought or received for its calming energy, protection, and spiritual clarity.
 
That's such a cool find! I'm into manifestation crystals, so I am happy that my sister got me a citrine. It's known for attracting abundance. This can be paired with smoky quartz for grounding, too!
