I am assuming you are refereeing to the picture on the home page of this

group. The lower left blue stone IS called turquoise :-) Without the stones

being numbered in the picture, it is hard to tell you which each one is. I can

identify many of them but can't point to them for you in person so that you

know.

 

If you have the money, is would be a good idea to invest a little into some

books on rocks and I don't just means ones that go into the spiritual/energy

nature of them. I am talking the scientific identification kind such as:

Can anyone help to identify the stones that are pictured on the front

page. I have a few that look like some of those that I found but don't

know what they are. Escpecially the one in the lower left that is

turqoise in color. I know the one I have is not turquoise, but it looks

like the one in the pic. I'm kind of an amature rock collector to. When

my BF and I go somewhere (I live in the sticks) and there is a gravel

driveway and I see something, I tend to spend my time looking through

the rocks instead of going inside. I can't help it. The rocks just seem

to draw my attention even away from something else I wanted to do. LOL.

Can anyone help me with the Pic? Diane
