Those are all very nice pieces, I particularly like that blue stone - any idea what it is?

As for the other, you can get Diamond testers for about $20 on trademe, they'll give you some idea if it is corundum, topaz, zircon too.

Hi Roy, hows the crazy weather over there.
Our far north beaches are still sanded in, gets the mind going as where else to hunt.
