I would identify them as garnet from the pictures. Now what you need to do is get a really really thin slice (called a thin section), put it under a microscope in cross polarized light, and if it's opaque black, then it's garnet, but if it's more of a gray, then it's a variety of quartz. Oh dear.. I'm a nerd. :)<BR/><BR/>But it's a beautiful necklace, whatever the stone is!njemacreativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637563532966189366noreply@blogger.com
