Crystal Questions.

[djlfeming]

Hello, I am wondering about the following:
Is Clinoptilolite and klinoptilolith the same?
Is Moqui Marble and Shaman Stone the same?
IS Preseli Bluestone and Stonhenge Bluestone the same?
Is Cinnabar and Dragon Stone the same?

I have several books but they seem to contradict each other.

Thanks for the help,
Jackie

It's a common question for many crystals. It can be confusing, but with some research, you can clear any doubts.
Clinoptilolite and Klinoptilolith are the same for sure.
Moqui Marble and Shaman Stone should be the same, but there is also Shaman Dream Stone, quite different one. Shaman Stone is iron oxide concretions, while Shaman Dream stone is a form of gemmy clear quartz with many inclusions (other names - Lodolite, Landscape quartz, Scenic quartz, Garden quartz). The difference is quite noticeable.
Preseli Bluestone and Stonehenge Bluestone are the same. It's a stone from the Preseli mountains in Wales, used for the Stonehenge monoliths cycle creation.
Dragon Stone is the trade name for a stone made of green and red mineral combination.
Cinnabar is scarlet to brick-red in color, can be confused with Dragon Stone, just because of dragon carvings made of Cinnabar can be called the same.
