[QUOTE="lauragarnet, post: 99084, member: 105"]I think the black carved stone is probably obsidian or black onyx? As far as the little glued on polished rocks/cabochons, 1.)the purple would be amethyst, 2.)the two black stones on the headband I think might be Apache Tears (a kind of garnet, but can't remember the official name right now), 3.)a couple of clear rock crystal/quartz. 4.)The white focal stone might be an opal? Too washed out by the flash to get a good look. 5.)I don't know about the orange stone or the rectangle shaped brown stone right off the top of my head.[/QUOTE]
