<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1047804, member: 5833"]I don't know if there's a name for a stone with this coloring, but when the under layer is black & the top layer is milky white, which gives the appearance of blue, it is called nicolo. Stone was meant to be engraved, but never was. As Holly said, carnelian, although I suspect it is really a banded chalcedony that has been dyed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
