Description

The listing, Semiprecious stones lot - polished- cabochons, crystals and geode has ended.

Digging through my stash i found a bag of beautiful undrilled stones.
I am not certain of the names of all the stones, but i suspect there is:
1 dyed geode slice
1 Amethyst,
1 Onyx chunk,
rutilated quartz
rose quartz
There is one clear and one striated purple and clear faceted crystal, which is very cool. Looks like they were part of a larger one.
there is one "conglomerate rock" that is already top drilled with a nice large hole.

Any of these call out to be the focal point in some lovely wire wrap jewelry or perhaps you have a bead drill and wish to make your own holes?!
Great for spiritual work, too perhaps!

. I will try to research the remaining unknowns for you. and add more info. Feel free to tell me if you can identify them, too! ;)

Additionally, i'm pretty sure the tiny green triangle in the middle of pic two is malachite, But again, just a guess.

Kay, guys...PLEASE tell me what the large purplish/maroonish dull one in the very center of the first photo...???

Apr 5th, 2012 at 9:35:54 PM PDT by

?Well, it seems sedimentary in nature, With two "stripes" of dark brick-reddish and a middle stripe of taupe slightly greenish brown. It's not as polished as the others.. It's not maroon. Sorry I wish it was a sunnier day when i took the photos!!
Also, it isn't a large as it looks. It measures about 3/4 inch on it's longest side.
