Stone Identification

Hello fellow stoners

If anyone recognises this stone, I'd very much appreciate knowing what it is.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Squatchit,

I cannot see from the photograph whether it is displaying any chatoyancy..so I don't think it's a dyed tiger eye and it's too bright for a blue tiger eye IMO...could be a dyed agate though. It feels a little too exuberant to be a Dumorterite... I think I'll play it safe and opt for dyed agate ....Or Sapphire.. No , I'm sticking with dyed Agate.. Not considering blue calcite or blue tanzanite either.... So it might be Blue Dyed Agate....err definately possibly..

From one stoner to another... my best guess is that it is soldalite or perhaps a dyed piece of agate.

One way you can check to is to hold it up to a bright light. If it is translucent is is likely agate.

I hope that helps.

Love, hugs, hope and blessings.

EDIT: Interestingly, the actual stone is more black & white than blue. The middle stripe is a reddish-brown which runs all the way round. It's not jet black, nor brilliant white. Almost a mottled black and a very very pale lavender. Not sure whether that helps much...but it's definitely not blue. No idea what the scanner was playing at...

Hi stoner!

Have you heard of Agate Eye? The colours made me think of that.

Hiya Snow Monkey

I haven't heard of Agate Eye - having googled it, it certainly looks like a possibility. In a strange sort of way, the name sort of fits with a couple of dreams I had the other night (when I deliberately placed said stone under my pillow). Both dreams involved a being that was three-in-one. So if the Agate Eye is my "third" eye...and I'm now seeing three-in-one..........who knows!

Thank you Mr Monkey.

Hiya :)

I only noticed it a few days ago, whilst searching for some crystals.
