Very nice. Are you sure the top two are Victoria stone though? I do not see the normal fibrous pattern of Victoria stone in those. For example in this sphere. 20160712_174733-2 by James Sloane, on Flickr

It better be real for the price I paid for the pieces I bought. I bought them together with the others. It works the same.

I've worked with a lot of Victoria Stone. The bottom three might be Victoria Stone. Like vegasjames said, they do look a little off. They look more like some of the higher quality new "Victoria Stone" but not quite the same as the original. That said; it is still excellent material I am 80% sure the top two are not Victoria Stone. I would talk to whomever sold it to you. If you bought it online, I would reread the listing carefully to make sure there isn't a disclaimer.

If the top two are not victoria stone I'd like to know what they are. They're all beautiful.

They all look like the new material John Bennett is having produced in China. He apparently spent a lot of money in developing a new alternative to Imori (Victoria) Stone.
This new material was everywhere last year in Q.
