Mystery Rocks, help me identify please! :)

[♥Starlene]

Can you help me identify the two green and one yellow in the middle towards the bottom... they really look like turquoise with the black veins in them but i never saw turquoise those colors!

These are the mystery rocks my kids got me when we were on vacation

They know how to make mommy happy heheheheh! :sonnewolken:

with the flash...


without flash...


i figure two pics are easier to tell what they look like

[Sloan]

It wouldn't happen to be dyed turquoise? or maybe even lemon chrysoprase? just a few thoughts...

[Peace]

oh wwwwooooowwwww! faery eyes are glazed over........................OH, okies, what are they? hmm.....well, i have several of these and i'm not sure on all of them, but a few do look dyed.....................the green and yellow COULD be dyed howlite. they do dye it alot. usually, blue, but there's also real blue howlite. anyhoo, those look like it to me, with the black veining and all..................are you sure that darker green at the top isn't moldavite? uhhh.......oh yeah, that black and pink one to the left; does it have tiny bits of goldish looking flecks in it? i have a piece that looks just like that and i have NO idea what it is, but i wanna know! lol. that clear oblong one to the right looks like clear calcite. the white and blue at the bottom right is sodalite. i have a piece almost just like it, shape and all. lol. the other blue one above it looks like a rough piece of lapis. does it have any flecks? some pieces look alot like that one. i have a piece of that ddarkish red too and i dunno that one either. the bright purple one in the middle top is dyed agate. i have several pieces of that in several colors. i'd recognize them a mile away. lol.the purple one next to it looks so much like charoite, but i'm not sure with the dark veins. it really looks like charoite, though. oh oh oh, the green one on the second row, it may be chrysoprase............okies, now i have to get my boook, see what you've done. i've guessed all i can, now i gots to break out the big book!!! be back shortly!

[Peace]

oh and that orangy looking one next to the red one, second row, looks like a sunstone. (there's a couple different kinds though)..............and the bright blue one at top looks like a dyed agate too..............ok, seriously, off to get the book!!!!

oh cool beans!!! Do you have a little vice? I got one really cheap on eBay...

[yogagurl]

I don't have one, better check that out!

[Anamere]

Oooo! Me too. I might could use some tips on how to use the tips and vice! I bought a dremmel a year ago but haven't done much with it. Intended to but then I started work and well yanno?

I wanna try symbols and stuff but we'll see. What type of stone do you suggest starting off with?

Oh and for the stones (above) Looks like turquoise to me. Someone already said do I didn't have anything new to add. What ever it is it's really pretty.

[saffy]

I'm glad you are practicing. I have a few I would like to have engraved (?).

Miss E. if you need any stones to practice on just let me know, I have a few hundred or so that you can use.
