Nice scores again this year, 8's. I LOVE the grape chalcedony, so that's my favorite, but you did very well for yourself. Thanks for sharing them, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you snagged! :)

Nice finds! The blue sphere looks like the blue calcite from Madagascar and Argentina. The piece above the shattukite looks like aragonite?

Asian coral? I put both pics up to show the difference a white background makes.

Wow, 8's, that coral is spectacular, and if you got a receipt maybe the seller's contact info is on it and you can send a pic and ask what that first one is. That red is spectacular, and reminds me of a lava flow running down a volcano. Too cool! :!:

Cannot be certain, but I've seen similar bright red streaks in coprolite agate. Interesting inclusions in the quartz - looks like a bit of rainbow in there, and one looks like a little fish at the top edge. The background certainly played some tricks with your camera's sensor ;)

Thanks OS, The chalcedony is a sweet one :!: If it was the vendor who put it together, he did a great job. :D
