I'm sorting some of my mixed batch stones into their correct tubs and have 2 sets that I can't seem to match like for like. Can't remember where I got them. Can anyone help identify these two sets please.

Top looks like light colored carnelian from the Pacific northwest. The bottom, on my monitor, looks to have a bit of a purple tint and chalcedony with that look comes from several spots in Nevada and Mexico. The Nevada stuff is called Henderson Purple while the Mexican stuff is sold under several trade names. Grape Jelly Chalcedony is one....Mel

I love your posts Mel, I like even better being able to say, "I know that guy."

I agree with Sabre52 on that top one. I have carnelian that looks like that. I really don't know what the bottoms are. Fran
