Hi, I'm wrapping these as a Mother and baby set of pendants for a friend and would love to be able to tell them what kind of stones these are, anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much! - Krista

Darn, purple and blue are often hard to differentiate on my monitor. Looks more purple and white to me which would make Bertrandite ( Tiffany Stone/opalized fluorite) or Morado Purple Opal out of Mexico possibilities. If it's actually more of a deep blue, it may be Peruvian Lapis....Mel

It's more of a deep blue color, but I've never seen lapis with clear marbled in with the blue?

OK if it's blue ( I rechecked my notes) it's probably Chilean lapis . Got my South American countries mixed up *S*.Chilean lapis ranges from solid deep blue to the blue and white material like you have....Mel
