I'm starting into Crystal Magic and my problem is that I went and bought a handful of tumbled stones that I can't identify. Can someone identifty them?

I didn't want to stretch the page, so here's a link of the stones I need help identifying.

Another image only with a dark background and another stone.

ok then...from what I can see #11 looks like bloodstone

#2 is probably jade

..o_O #3 and #14 look like the same stone with the white and blue variations, though dont take my word for it, cause i cant feel the texture and the camrea light migh tbe obscuring it a bit ^^; anyways...gah >_< i want to kick myself now cause i have some of those myself...wh ycant i remember thet name?? =_= erk..sorry.

#9 is a colour variation of malachite

the rest im not sure, but 8 could be pyrite, 13 could be jasper, 12 could be blue lace agate or aventurine, and 4 could be carnelian. a simple way to double check is google them and compare the different pictures to your stones, which will give you the most accurate answers.

I've been looking at other sites, but it's difficult to tell. On one site, it'll look like it
like one, but on another site it look like another. >< But thank you!!

Try the learning center... aside from that

#4 look like coral or maybe bloodstone
# 8 look like snowflake obisdisan (sp)
#3 look like solidate
#1 look like it could be lapis...

picture doesn't really do the just, you have to feel it as well. Also, some of the stone are very closely related in term of looks since there is an bright light shining on a certain angle.

Thank you! To be honest, the feel of them are all the same to me. I mean, they've all been tumbled down and I think they were polished too. o-o Maybe I shouldn't have used my scanner... ^^;

Some of these look like run-of-the-mill agates; many of these might simply be polished agates. Agates come in tons of colors and patterns. #12 looks opalsecant to me, which means it could be moonstone. I would agree that #2 is most likely jade, but yes, agates come in that color too. If you baught them together as a bundle it is likely that many of them are agates.

Well purchasing in a bundle is okay. Just make sure what is in that bundle.

o.o Well, it did say what was all in the bundle, but I didn't know which was which. >< Plus, I think it would be offensive to the stones if I mistaken one for another.

It's hard to tell what some of the rocks even look like from the pic (glare I'm guessing). I know 2 is adventurine and 8 is snowflake obsidian. 3 might be sodalite, and 11 unakite. I'll email the pic to my mom, she's a genius when it comes to gemstones (she does jewlery and native american art).
