So, last weekend here in Kent Wa.
Kent Cornucopia days (festival) and street market.
Sunday out of pure boredom i went to go look around the market.
On my way out and home i seen tumbled stones so i HAD to stop.
5 tumbles for $10 (I kind of choked on that price a little.......
UNTIL i seen these Larimar stones that is. BUT them when you SEE them i say!!
Not the best of quality, but i can work these nicely and the end products WILL be high quality.
The Amethyst is very very clear of inclusions so i also got that!

My guess would have been amazonite, but then again I have never held larimar in my hands, I will take my own guess with a pinch of salt.
Looking forward to seeing your final product! My first-ever cab was made by recutting a tumbled piece of Colorado rhodonite.

Second the amazonite. Here's a chunk of rough from CO with the smoky quartz friend- quite akin to the material posted.

I could have sworn it was larimar lol!
Amazonite is cool too!
