If this guy isn't Agate, I'd guess it's a blue Onyx. Those two are the only two striped gemstones I know of off the top of my head.

[Saikiyo]

Hmm, I have a feeling that that's the moonstone.

Bing! Correct!

Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it's moonstone?
Then again I'm only familiar with Laboradorite and Rainbow Moonstone so..

It is actually Rainbow Moonstone, but I still count it as moonstone

[Lunarsnow]

= Obsidian
= Moonstone
= Blue Tiger's Eye
= Amber
= Black Opal
= Red Painite

Oh my, this guy is gorgeous! I'm loving the chicken litter this month.
But don't I say this every month?
Most excited for the amber egg, but I know it in my heart that I'll love them all~
Still, this obsidian/lava rooster... perfect <33

[Saikiyo]

So let's see. We've got...

= Obsidian
= Moonstone
- previous guesses: malachite, turquoise, labradorite, blue tiger's eye, agate, blue onyx
= Amber
= Black Opal
- previous guesses: ruby

Someone guessed blue tiger eye? I missed that D: Well, it's blue tiger eye XD

One left! Good luck >:D Hint, it's a raw gemstone (I thought it was prettier raw then cut)

[endless shelter;;]

Maybe spessartite? EDIT;; rough pyrope or red garnet?


ANOTHER EDIT;; did not notice the garnet, literally went straight to edit.

[Daytime-Despair]

Garnet?

[abxy]

Huh.
I don't want to say Garnet, but I don't want to say ruby..

It almost looks like dark cherry colored, raw, baltic amber, actually. But there's already amber...

Can I just say that its awesome you are paying attention to us? So, thank you Saikiyo! Youve been a very fun and playful spirit in this "guessing game"... I cant imagine how many times Ive laughed by watching the posts!:)

It's the least I can do for all you guys and gals (and others) have done for me ^^ You encourage me and it causes me to improve, so I couldn't have done this with out you ^^ (I also like interacting with you, you're all so creative, I keep thinking 'dang, that's a really good idea...' with all your guesses XD.)
Perhaps it keeps you away from "artist block" and gives plenty of future artistic intent? Thats what I most hope: by this we will see more stuff for the future as well as the people who want the "rock" to get their wish! Hehe! (Btw, Love your pets as well!)


Also, as a chick, this one will be hard to guess (much easier as an adult) I was fighting to the death with the chick. But here's a small hint, it's a common stone in an uncommon color. (when my grandpa gave us his rock tumbling kit there was a big slab of it, and I found it so pretty, I want to get more of it cause I'm sad we sold it...)
Ooooooo another mystery! (Watches as people flip out wondering!:))


Also, I mentioned that the litter was inspired off something I really liked...Crystal gems (without using any already existing ones)
That it the most awesome thing, taking it from within and gifting it (technically) to everyone. Thats what true art is!

Edit: this keeps happening!
Please do! I need reading/laughing material!:)

Labradorite (moonstone) is in the litter ;D

Yayyyyyyyyyy! Please keep it up!

[Malokia]

He is glorious... :love:
Yep, that kinda does it, glorious is just the right word.

* The blue chick made me google "Blue tiger's eye" and I'm in love. That's definately goes to "to find" stuff on next Mineral Expo that will be in my town. :3

Also, after some digging let me throw my guesses for last one - red sphalerite / raw bloodstone / almandite...?
