[QUOTE="Piep, post: 109245, member: 3017"] Yes, I'm thinking opal as well. For both rocks. Though the 2nd one is throwing me a bit. It could very well be a green chalcedony (like chrysoprase is). I would say to do a hardness and s.g. test, but chalcedony and common opal are very close, so not sure if it would help (read: confessing that I would muck them up, most likely. You might be way more accurate). Mindat.org is your friend when looking for clues or more info: [url]http://www.mindat.org/loc-219441.html[/url] I'm liking the looks of both rocks, whatever they are. If you have more of them are you thinking of selling some? [/QUOTE]
