This are very beautiful gemstones. I have tried to give a over view picture on each gemstone.
If you want to get or start a collection be careful because there is a lot of lab created gemstones out there.
One of the best ways to collect is to join your local lapidary club, or you can pick a lot of stones up at gem fest that are held over the country side. Or you can go out and find them your self. go camping.
If you need help, Please leave a comment in the comment box.
Have a Great day.

Very interesting. Love collecting rocks even though I don’t know what they are. Was on here to find out what I pick up in Camooweal recently. It turns out to be ribbon stone. Simply stunning. Amazing colours and so much of it had to limit myself to a few pieces. Will definitely go back. Thank you.
