Goldfinger Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 is citrine the name for yellow zircon?? also any chance you would know how to value these stones -cheers .Citrine and zircon are not the same. Really no value on these stones.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The yellow rocks are agates. Google “beach agate” and you will see a lot that are similar. The last picture shows the typical eyes found in agates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoll Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 the last picture with the eyes is totally different to the stone in the first picture. i googled the argates and nothing matches the stone in the 1st picture.thanks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihailovici179 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The last stone looks like a coral, first stone I think it`s some chalcedony. You must make any test with these ( hardness, SG, streak etc).Best regardsMihail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeandrandi06 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm a new member but, I'm a lapadarist in western NC next door to the gemstome capitol of the world. You could have a metiorite or hematite, not citrine. Where do you live? It looks like you have some agate. Here in NC the garnets will turn feldspar,quartz a redishis tint. It take diffrent elements to give stones color. Iron/reed magness/green etc. Yellow stone looks like a weathered piece of quartz. Today we was looking for gold and I was cleaning out a crevice in solid bedrock and low and behold out came a weatherd dime solid orange 1947! Iron in the stream. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I could be wrong, but some at least look like opal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
