Can someone help identify this stone? I forgot the name. Photo is pretty true to actual colors. Thanks.

Not Amethyst. I purchased the oval stones years ago and cannot remember what they are. Know I have seen some on here before.

Tiffany Stone, maybe? REmember I bought a small strand in the 1990's and it was expensive.

I looked that up and it appears that a lot of it fluoresces under UV(radioactive!), so if you have a black light that might tell you. On a side, I also learned that some of the agates that I picked up out in Wyoming probably have uranium in them!

I just found the remaining 4 of them. Will take another photo of the unstrung ones. Patterns vary considerably.

14 stones. 20 x 15 mm each. Purchased in 1996 for $28.00. These are not as nice as the ones I used on the necklace/earrings.

Something-in-quartz is my guess. Brilliant deduction huh? I like them though.
