An old-timer told me long ago that if you ask a rock hound what a particular stone is, and he knows, he will tell you. If he doesn't know, he will make something up. I've bought a lot of rocks and have been given a lot of names for those rocks over the years. I'm sure most were labeled correctly, but maybe not all of them. I have also been on rock hunts and found some of the rocks for sale on these pages, but I am not a geologist, just an amateur collector, and Lapidary. In addition, many trade names are used for stones; some have more than one. Therefore, there are bound to be some mislabeled stones on these pages. I will label things to the best of my knowledge, but I may not always be correct.
