Well done! You can't go wrong with good ole quartz! The stones in the last pic very much some of the river-smoothed quartz pebbles that are popping out of a local conglomorate formation in my area on some of the local ridge tops. Geology is amazing!

Thanks for the correction Tweetie. I modified the post Somthing tells me that they'll look a little like the Iraqi Quartz (1st picture, the 2 along the left). But I could be wrong
Were they collected locally?
