Thank you! I'm taking the plunge into selling, and just realised I have no idea what these are lol. Makes it hard to describe them.

I think the first one is Dragon's blood jasper.I searched that name because I thought that's what the other jasper was. I was wrong. lol

The second one is likely some kind of Jasper but it does remind me of Unakite

The last one could be Graveyard Point / Regency Rose.

I thought the second one looked like unakite too, but I can't be sure. I get a lot of unakite from Lake Superior. Does your uncle live near Lake Superior?  |

He lived in Central Oregon. Any stone I have from him would likely be from Oregon or Washington. I've got the third one liste as just red agate. It doesn't sound very nice. lol I listed the second as brecciated jasper. That sounds fancy enough I suppose. Thanks for the help! There'll probably be more along the way her. Is the a better place for me to post these? I thought there used to be a sub-forum for this, but when I looked for it, I couldn't find it. Maybe it was my imagination. It does run away with me sometimes. lol

Nice wraps. I would recommend that unless you can positively identify your "stones" as xxx, you would be better served as saying they are "jasper" or "agate". At least that wouldn't constitute false advertising. Guessing is not appropriate when selling something unless you identify it as guessing.

Third one is carnelian. Looks a lot like what is found up the Kalama river in SW WA state.
2nd is agate/jasper, like a dense moss agate. Lots of places to find it in the NW.
Last is a plume agate, could be from a lot of sites, Graveyard point is a strong possibility.
I like the wraps, are you hammering the wire on the 2nd one?

First one could be a tumbled thunderegg core. It is difficult to see the details in my browser.
Second I have seen, but it is escaping me right now. I'll have to look through my specimens.
I agree with carnelian agate (western Oregon or Washington) for the third. Nearest collecting from central Oregon is the Lebanon area.
The last does look like Regency/Graveyard Pt. but I'm thinking it is Carey Plume, which did sometimes have those colors and was from near Prineville in Central Oregon.

Carnelian it is. I was thinking that myself, but I wasn't sure. They did live in Lebanon before moving to Elkton. The man had stacks of coffee cans full of tumbled stones all over his house and shed. Whenever we visited he'd hand us a can and let us dig through them. Thank you for all the help!
I used half round 28g stainless steel. No hammering, but I do like the effect the flat wire had on that wrap.
