Hello all,
I just bought 5 gemstones from the new age store but I made a small oopsie..I didn't write down what they were! I was wondering if you guys could click on the link to a picture and help me figure out what they are. I think its agate, garnet, amtheyst, jet, and quartz in the order on the picture.
Thanks!

I'm sorry, but it is nearly impossible to tell from this picture :/

The first looks like some type of Quartz and the last appears to be blu lace agate, but I really can't tell from the lighting :/. is there a chance you can head back to the store and check? I had to do that a few years ago with a few of my stones. :)

i think they are (from left to right) clear quartz, tigers eye maybe, sodalite maybe, amethyst maybe, and maybe blue lace agate.

Does the second stone appear to have "shiny" areas? It looks like labradorite to me, but...

From left to right, clear or smokey quartz, hematite, two agates and angelite (maybe?). I agree that the picture is not of the highest quality so it is very difficult to assess the stones correctly.

I can tell you what they are probably. But for sure I would have to see them in person. Also it helps to shine a light through them and on them(2 pictures) as many stones look similar in this lighting.

Stone 1 is either a Smokey Quartz or a Citrine. Probably Citrine, Now alot of people will say it is not a citrine because they have never seen real citrine. Often heat treated amythyst is sold under the name of citrine which causes a lot of confusion, but authentic citrine, Which is rare and often mistaken for quartz(as it is a form of quartz) is a light yellow like that. no mater what it is, it is a silicon based stone.

stone 2 is hard to say, almost all black stones have the same properties and are often mistaken for eachother, the only real difference being the chemical makeup and the grain pattern, but I would guess(remember its hard to say) either a Jet or and Obsidian. Either way its properties are probably a grounding stone.

stone 3 looks alot like an amythyst, but that stripe of gold in it makes it hard to say. I would love to see more pics of it to help you figure it out. It could also be a beryl.

stone 4 is definately an amitrine, which is a peice of quartz with amythyst and citrine mixed in. Unless you bought either a super seven quartz(has seven stones mixed in) but you would remember that.

stone 5 is either a blue lace agate or a cheap impure chrysacolla which is another two stones with similar properties.

With more pictures of each I could give you a more definite answer of each but without holding them it is hard to say. Hope that helps narrow the search.
