What part of the country did you find these incredibly beautiful pieces? If you found them near your home, can we be bff's and can I come over? ;-) |

The yellowish, reddish and gray ones appear to be a type of Jasper. Those are some very nice finds.

Majority are all jasper. The only one I'm not sure on are the 1st two. Pretty sure they are just quartz. The other one I'm curious about is the banded green one. Which is the last picture. I'll try to post a better picture as the one here doesn't due it justice.

The pinks appear to be quartz, maybe with some calcite crystals.

Your cab turned out great! I also see you managed to give yourself a lapidary manicure -- and a painful one at that!  |
