Identifying stones is not an exact science for the casual user. Often it takes much more than a photograph to be able to identify a particular type of stone. This is meant to be a help in identifying stones, not a guaranteed accurate reference.

Remember - Stones can be dyed and can fool even the best. To accurately determine a stone's identity, additional tests are needed, i.e. hardness, chemical make-up, etc.

This is an ongong project. Right now the framework is being built. Few links work and there is little information at this point. Bookmark this page and check back often because as soon as the framework is done, information will begin to be added.
