    Default Need help Identifying stones!!!!

    I am not familiar with these stones. I wondering if I could get some help. I am curious about the Minellein stone (stone 2) and its age. I have a few more photos. Maybe someone could tell me the ages, quailty, and brand on these stones. Thanks

    The two color one (yellow/dark) looks to be a Coticule. I can't help with the other ones
