Hi all! I received my box of rocks in the mail from Bejewelme today from the Auction she held the other day, Magnificent stuff! Thank you Bejewelme! Only trouble is, I wouldnt have a clue what most of it is! So I will be annoying everyone a fair bit as I cut my way through it and asking for people to identify the bits for me! Here are the first three! The one in the middle is my favourite! Cheers, James Attachments:

The middle one is certainly serpentine, I have lots of different varieties of that, not positive of the source for that one. Amber hates cabbing any of that though. I think the one on the left is mariposite from California. She should know what the one on the right is.
Great looking cabs!

That middle one looks like it's from my old hounding area in Delaware County, PA. Jo

I would have guessed the first to be budstone and the middle serpintine or Lizardite. The one on the right almost looks like a lemon chrysoprase. They all look great, no matter what they are! Fran

Nah, I dont think it is chrysoprase, doesnt feel the same, and I think it was a wee bit softer too.
