These are some cabs and rocks that my dad got at an estate sale when they went cheap. We were going to take them to the rock show this weekend to sell, but I kind of wanted to know what they were. I still have about 20 bags of things he got to go through, so may be posting more pretty pics. The little turquoise one I'm going to see if I can get set in a ring setting, its just too pretty! Just a note. I have been trying to upload these photos for over an hour. My laptop wouldn't let them upload anywhere for some reason. I restarted, its still refusing to upload some of the pics. I'm going to work on some of t his other stuff. I hope you enjoy the pics even if you don't know what they are. I'm curious what the larger cab is, the rock and any of the little cabs. Sandy

Well they look like some awesome rocks.....maybe the top ones are Chrysocolla? i really do think they are.......
and in the middle the left one is leopard jasper of some kind and the far right one might be lapis....or sodalite....i think thats the other lapis look alike.
not sure on the others...might be a mix of moonstones, agates, and other jaspers.....i see one of the bottom white stones looks like a moonstone.
i really like that big rough one...cool colors.no idea what it is....any different pictures of it?

The white and light blue in the second photo second row look like howlite. Take a look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HowliteThe light pink on the top row looks like rose quartz and the dark pink on the bottom row rhodochrosite. Bottom center looks like shell.

The cabs in the top pic are chrysocolla with azurite and hematite. Not so sure about that light blue one, though ... it might be turquoise. The pic isn't clear enough to tell for sure.
Second pic ... exactly what Karen said.
Third pic, no clue.
