Identification time!
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:20 pm
I remembered I had a bunch of stones stashed away in an old jewelry box, which I got when I was maybe 13, and I was wondering if anyone would like to try to help me identify these mystery stones?
I tried to get a decent photo, but I've included notes on the coloring because some of them are hard to read.
#1 is black with grey spots
#2 is blue and black. The stone itself is opaque, but when I look closely at it, it looks like you can see *into* the stone like parts are transparent/translucent
#3 is a soft white-pink. It seems more solid/less translucent than #7
#4 is completely clear with some veins or blemishes inside
#5 is darker and more red/brown than #6
#6 should be carnelian, because they assured me that it was at the shop :p
#7 is probably the same as #3, it just has less white in it, and my guess is probably rose quartz
#8 seems to have white and greyish striations, with Amber/light brown blemishes
#9 is probably tiger's eye
#10 is translucent and the inside shimmers when you rotate it under a light
#11 is a Hunter's green with red/brown flecks that don't really show up well in the photo
#12 is a lighter green, but not nearly as teal as the photo makes it seem. It has flecks of darker green, but not much else distinguishing about it.
#13 is a tiny bit of a transparent light Amber color
#14 is medium-dark blue and grey, and might just be discounted as 'colorful pebble'
#15 is balck with dark grey striations along some of it's sides. It has an interesting shimmer on its striated sides.
Now we'll see if I can figure out how to add photos
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes a stab at identifying these!
