Haderly Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not sure on the first one. The second one looks like it could be a Serpentine. This is a good resource for rocks and minerals that are documented coming from Cyprus http://www.mindat.org/loc-16569.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I kinda agree with you Haderly due to the waxy appearance. The last one could be a jasper, but, need to see a closer picture. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
