I'm really trying to make all of my Christmas presents this year and nearly have it done. The wheels will really fall off my plan when it comes to my 13 year old son though But, I thought I would share what I have so far and ask for ID help if this is an appropriate place. I love the red jasper in the last two pieces. It has amazing depth but I'm nearly out of it. It came to me in a trade and the gentleman didn't have an ID for it. I'm hoping someone here might know of something similar. In order from top to bottom: Lapis lace onyx, pietersite, plasma agate, mystery red jasper 1 and 2. Thanks so much for looking and any help! John

Cannot help on ID, but I really love your settings. Especially that last one

Great job on these! I like the first one best. ID is really difficult with photos, but Mel Sabre52 might be able to help you.

Your pendants are very nice! My favorite is the last one — the twisted wire is a simple and very appealing way of showing off the stone.

#1 could be lapis lace #2 could be pietersite Chuck Thanks Chuck. I probably wasn't clear in my post and edited it for clarity. The red jasper is the unknown and the one I would love some type of ID on. I know its a total long shot but who knows. Everyone on this forum has so much experience that I imagine someone might have seen something like it before.

Everyone on this forum has so much experience that I imagine someone might have seen something like it before. The red one is the one I would not venture a guess about. There are several localities that could be from and without seeing the rough it becomes really hard to pinpoint. I hate listing items for sale without knowing the I.D. but sometimes it is unavoidable. Really nice silver work. Chuck

Those are very nice and will be cherished gifts. Can't help with id, though.

Wish I could help with the red jasper ID. It's really a pretty stone and has an unusual pattern to it. Hopefully someone will know and be able to tell you.
You pendants are beautiful. Really like the way you showcase the stones.
