Must be age or something but forgot names of some of the stones. I guess I need to start writing down names after I purchase them so I don't forget. The one 'Green with flaws' I found east of Kingman, AZ. From what I was told they where digging to replace some piping in the area. It looks like petrified mud with worm holes running through it. Forgotten Group Names Forgotten #1 Forgotten #2 Forgotten #3 Found in AZ Thanks for looking and putting names to stones 49er

If I got the color right, the green one could be Microline.

Forgotten #2 looks like Ruby in Zoisite, if that's green above all that pretty red!

The fourth one is rhodonite.
The first one is probably a different rhodonite, but it MIGHT be rhodochrosite. Hard to tell for sure from the pics.

I'd say #1 is rhodonite unless it's soft in which case as MJ says Rhodochrocite is a good bet. The light green with pink on the far right of the top pic may be thulite...Mel
