I need a little help with this one... The large stone is fantastic, with a translucent, caramel color stone with blue opalescent flecks that gives off a contrasting display depending on light and angle. I would guess that it is some type of opal, but I have done an exhaustive search with nothing quite like it.
Please help me identify this stone, it is so awesome and deserves recognition. I thank you in advance for any help.
It's beautiful. If I didn't know better, I would say it was glass. There's also a type of quartz known as Medusa Quartz, which looks somewhat similar.
Somebody here will know!
Thank you for the help Efesgirl!!!
I don't know how much help I was, lol!

I am so sorry; I was just responding without thinking...
