I also think I have a Picture Jasper in there ... can someone confirm.

There is also the black one that has a circle. That stone is really cool. That circle is inside and this has very faint circles or layers inside.

Here are some more pics of the really bad ones.

I honestly checked each stone as they progressed through the batches and I really did not see any of this damage.

Looks like you have some crysacola quartz mix that only let the quartz pretty much and the white looks like quartz or maybe moonstone. They both can have fractures inside that you don't see until they come out. It looks more like it is impact fractures that got to them though. May not have had enough stones at the very end. Even so, looks like a lot of shine there.

I do not know about the moonstone ... I think the reflection of the flash is making the stone look different. I think it is rose quartz ... but I could be wrong. I will look and snap a few more pics.

With lighter stones I have found out that taking pictures on a dark(er) background really helps show the stones in their truer outcome.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
