2 Blind Squirrels looking for.....

Hello all. My name is Debbie and I am one of the blind squirrels. I have learned alot from everyone's comments. From the history of an item to the logic used in trying to pin point an item.

I find myself in need of expert assistance on an item that has me stumped. I feel it is old but I dont know why. I looks like Moss Green Agate. The piece weights 14.5 oz and measures 3 x 2 1/4". It is translucent in parts and even had some glitter.

 

Welcome, Debbie & Squirrel #2. I've punched up your photo a bit so we have a better idea of color & texture:



Serpentine, maybe.

 

Thank you Bronwen. I am sure I will have to sharpen my picture taking/uploading skills for you guys. Thanks again I will check that out.

Debbie

 

Looks like serpentine from here too.

 

You did just fine, especially for a first time post. With so many people now using their phone to take photos, most first timers have trouble just getting any photos posted at all, & then they may be too few, too poor for us to make much of. We crop, rotate, brighten for each other all the time. Your photos were good enough to start with that only minor tweaking needed.

 

I agree, serpentine. And welcome Debbie, glad you came out of lurking mode.

 

Thanks evelyb30. I do think you folks are right on the money. I may have heard of serpentine but could not ID it (but now I can).

 

Thanks. I am sure I will be still doing more "lurking" than posting however the learning will continue for this "blind squirrel".

 

As it does for all of us on this amazing forum.
