Hello everybody,

I have a small collection of stones at home, but I don't know some of the names. I have photographed all of the unknown stones, and it would be very nice to get all the names. Here is a picture of my unknown tumblestones.

Can you help with identifying them?

Kind regards,

Rick

I'm sorry, but we probably aren't going to be of much help with tumbled/polished stones, especially with only pics alone. Our focus is minerals, not rocks or lapidary material.

Chances are, most of what you have are just different colors of quartz, some possibly dyed. Beyond that, it's impossible to give ID's based on pics alone, so unless you do some tests like hardness, streak, density, etc..., it's not possible to tell what they are.

Thank you for your answer. I will try and get some answers on the streak or density.

As explained here FMF is a Forum about minerals, FMF is not a Forum about jewels, driveway gravel or lapidary items. Not every solid material you can find anywhere belongs to our area of expertise, so we lock now this thread. Thank you.
