I can see a few scratches in the Chrysocolla, should I be able to get all of those out? Not sure what the other stone is... Thanks for looking.   |

Yes...you should be able to get rid of any scratches. Undercutting, or Orange Peeling? Not necessarily. I can't help on the ID... It's really good to see you putting out the cabs again.  |

The pink one looks to be either rhodonite or thulite. Probably thulite.

The green and pink could also be chlorite quartz (green) and either pink quartz or orthoclase. Hardness testing on a scrap piece if you have one or pics of the rough can help with ID.

The pink and green stone is "Wyoming Pink Jade" which is supposed to be nephrite and zoisite.

Thanks, maybe they're not scratches?  It's good to be putting them out again- when it gets cold I'm planning on wrapping... The pink one looks to be either rhodonite or thulite. Probably thulite. Thanks Tela. Both came from your way! 🙂 The green and pink could also be chlorite quartz (green) and either pink quartz or orthoclase.

Thanks. It's pretty easy to work,. |
