Shiny stone photos

elabyPeople have asked to see my collection of prettyshinyrocks, so I took a couple of pictures to show you :3 There's one photo beneath the cut, and then a link to a huuuuge version of another photo in case anyone wants to see the rocks in super close-up. That picture was taken with the flash on, so it's very clear but the colors are kind of washed out.
These are my shiny roooocks ^_^ I tend to call them rocks, and then the people at the metaphysical stores I buy them at look at me like O_o because I don't call them crystals or stones. *shrugs* I call them that sometimes, but shiny rocks has kind of stuck ^_^
I'll name them in color groups so it's less difficult to figure out which one I'm talking about. I also tagged the picture, but I'll write them out for those of you who don't feel like going to the Flickr page and hovering your mouse over the image ^_^
Hmm, it occurs to me that considering my lack of an actual orange stone, I probably should have gone black-brown-red-pink-purple-blue-green-yellow-white... but I didn't. Oh well!
Black/Grey: smoky quartz, hematite, tiger iron
Brown/Red/Pink: garnet (the garnet must be a less precious variety, because it only shows red when you look at it in the light), carnelian, red jasper, carnelian, rose quartz
Yellow: citrine x 2, yellow obsidian x 2, honey calcite
Green: prehnite, green aventurine, jade, labradorite
Blue: blue calcite, blue lace agate, blue goldstone x 2
Purple: ametrine, amethyst
White/Clear: rainbow moonstone, opal, clear quartz, rutilated quartz
Here's the huge picture if you'd like to take a closer look. This one is in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
