 |
|
Hi, a friend of mine gave me 2 new gemstones and has no idea what they are. I looked around and I think the green one is an adventurine but not sure. I also think these 2 stone could be Jaspers.
Can anyone tell me what these gemstone are?
Thank you in advance.

The one on the left looks like spotted jasper or snowflake obsidan... One on the right feels like adventurine...
I could be wrong... Someone else can contribute..

Hi,
Its so hard to tell from a picture, the one ofn theleft indeed looks like a Jasper, Dalmation jasper but dyed blue, very pretty. The one on the right isn't Aventurine, it doesn't have tiny sparkly bits does it? Maybe Malachite or Turquoise, it feels dyed to me too, or at least having had an enhanced polish 
Nice pieces.

The one on the left could be turquoise, often the bits and pieces left over from cutting or processing turquoise are collected and kinda glued together, these are often dyed also.
If the one on the right has a sheen or flashes of color in it - it is probably Labradorite or spectrolite which is a Feldspar mineral.

Thank you for the insights.
I looked for answers myself for a few days on these two rocks and will look at all the possibilities you mentioned to see if I can figure this one out. The one on the right does not have any tiny sparkly bits if that helps any.
Thanks again!

| If I'm correct, the one on the left is Turquoise & the one one the right is actually Jade - I believe that's what you have there - Blessings, NightLighter

| The stone on the right looks like Turquoise to me. Not sure about the one on the left.

| The one on the right looks to be possibly Moss Agate
