Rodgerslad Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Hello there everyone.I am looking for some help. I have recently been given a collection of stones from my Uncle. Can anyone identify what two stones these are?One is a red colour which has some sort of yellow/brown colour running through it and the other is a silver colour which is in sort of cubed shapes.Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.Andy Edited February 26, 2014 by Rodgerslad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaius Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have no doubt you're get some pretty good answers from this forum. But the one best answer might come from your local rock and mineral club you could visit. My gold club generally share a rock and mineral show with one in Anaheim I believe they are "The Searchers" -Their Web site - http://rockgemmineralclubs.blogspot.com/2011/05/searchers-anaheim-ca.htmlGood Luck &Cheers, Beers, & Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondmn Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The one on the right looks like some opalized petrified wood that I have from Arizona. It looks a little to glossy to be jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that.Anyone have any idea on the left hand side one please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_day Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Left looks like galena to me. Right might be wood, but I think it's a fairly common jaspagate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
