Title: Need ID's on some cabs
Post by: Enchantra on January 25, 2015, 08:23:24 PM
The person I bought these from at Quartzite didn't have everything labeled.  So I sadly am a bit perplexed on a few of these.  They were very busy so I didn't get a chance to ask what the stones were.

Image one is a cab I think is variscite????

The next one is either a green opalite or perhaps Chrysoprase?  Anyone have a clue?

A mottled jasper of some kind is #3.

Then two cabs which look more red than they are in the photo,  smallest one looks like bruneau to me, larger one I know is a Jasper but not sure which one?  Then there is the druzy as well, any ideas which mineral that is?

Thanks!

Hrm.  Any ideas on this stuff?

Sara:  I was thinking of using the two oval Jasper cabs that look similar in composition and putting them together in a necklace.

The 1st one appears to be Lucin varisite

Oh thanks to Palmwood I am just now seeing this thread!

I think the first 2 look like Variscite.  Is the last one dyed?  Really hard to tell from these pics.

The dark Druzy  looks similar to some petrified wood found in Alabama.

Oh and like you were any better?   :LOLOL:
Hey I see beads and cabs and I'm going to be all over that stuff!   :icon_sunny:

The pictures above actually aren't great.  None of the stones are dyed, but the one picture really makes those stones look red when they aren't.

I agree with MrsMTownsend #1 and #2 definitely Varisite #1is Lucin Varisite and # 2 is Nevada Varisite They are close by each other in the NorthWest corner of Utah Lucin mine and the Nevada mine just inside of Nevada. I can't remember the name of the mine in Nevada but i have material that looks just like #2. Hope that helps.
