Looks like a flawless polish on those beauties. What are the blues? I'm guessing colla wood for the 1st one, but not familiar with the 2nd.

Your right; the first is colla wood. The second is botryoidal gem silica from Bisbee, AZ.

The first looks like a lab.
I miss a few, mostly OJ.

I know I'm in the business of selling stones, but every once in a while I really regret letting some of them go! Here are a some examples. Any of you sellers feel that way? As for "seller's regrets", I used to know an old antique dealer who 35+ years ago I once heard tell a potential seller, that was struggling with emotional attachments, something that has always stuck with me. He told them "You can love things, but things can't love you back". I have had occasion to remember that wise bit of advice many times over the years. That being said, what will you take for the O.J. cab with the red orbs? [Just joking]...sort of.... Larry C.

Those are nice-I can see why it would be hard to let them go....
