Gemstone Pendants - new varieties just completed !

The following pictures are of some new material picked up recently. Although I have shown the name given to the stone by the source I acquired them from, several I recognize as having seen listed under other names. Most gemstones have their mineral name, a gemological name, a common name, a misnomer name and sometimes several totally off the wall names. Also remember the same stone can be called by a different name in a different part of the same country or in different countries. So have fun identifying if the name I have listed is not familiar to you.

Transvaal Jade.................Sodalite..............................Pink Opal
.
Maw-Sit-Sit......................Meshwork Jasper..............Stromatolite Fossil




Chrysotine......................Chrysocolla..........Green Fire Opal
