    Default Identification please

    I have a couple of stones like this one, but dont know what they are as they were bought a long time ago, (50 years ago actually!!!), thanks in advance. The pale bits in the stone are pink, and the brown bits are Carnelian coloured.

    I haven't a clue Pat. Have you tried googling a stone identification site?

    Possibly - going on appearance alone - dendritic agate
    Have you tried hardness / specific gravity?

    They were made into earrings for me, but I never liked the style, just a post stuck on the back. I thought I may make them into something a bit more fitting. I also have a loose stone the same. I wondered if it was some sort of agate. I don't know how hard it is. I have been looking at stone sellers to find out but without a picture I can't tell.

    They're pretty stones, Pat. What do you plan doing with them?

    Not sure really, possibly a pendant, I bought the two round ones when I was sixteen, the shop put the posts on the back. I bought another stone at a rock n gem show a few years ago, but the label came off so don't know what it is. I will draw up a few designs later.
    Looked at your Folksy site, love the rings, especially the Blue Chaldency one. I wondered how you darkened the silver, it looks really good.

    What stones they are? It's quite obvious to me: they're Pat's Stones of course.

    I don't have a folksy site! too bogged down with study at the moment to go there.

    Must be having another senior moment, sorry. Keep up the study, whatever it is for, it will be worth it in the end. X

    P.S Just found what I was looking for it was Theresa's site, sorry once again.
