You might want to ask in Lindaland Central 2.0 for more of an audience.------------------ "The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today.

Rhiana,I'm pretty knowledgeable with crystals. (Going counter-clockwise from the big cracked white piece). 1. Moss Agate (white cracked piece) 2. Yellow Jasper 3. Moss Agate 4. I cant make out exactly, due to the light glare & the dull texture on that side. It strikes me as some kind of Agate or Jasper too. I think Agate? 5. Carnelian (that's a type of Agate). 6. This might be an Aventurine or Green Jasper. I need to see reeeally close up. Check if there's tiny, tiny specks of mica (fools gold looking), or tiny clear crystalline inclusions. If so, then it's an Aventurine, if not, it's a "fancy jasper," of the green variety. 7. Amethyst. Not the Brazilian crystalline clear kind. It's the more solid opaque variety from India. 98% of the time I can tell what type of stone/crystal by just it's looks. However if I cant sometimes, then I feel it's energy. Every type of stone has it's own signature energy. In your pic, the energies of all those stones are too close together/blended, that's why I can't discern 4 & 6.

Oh wow! Thankyou so much Agent_009! That's an amazing skill you have there.Number six would be the jasper then. =D I just can't get a decent picture of number 4 but it's all dull black and dark grey marbled kinda pattern with occaisional tiny chunks of silverish... the specks reflect light in the weird way that tigereye does? Thankyou so, so much anyhow! IP: Logged |
