J. Charley Signed Earrings - help with stones

[silverdollarbill]

J. Charley signed earrings. The one stone is tigers eye. The rainbow looks like opal. Does anyone has an idea what the light brown stone is (largest of three)?

Happy Easter everyone!

Here is a pair made with similar looking materials by the same artist. It is described as "fossil matter". https://www.native-american-jewelry.org/ML75-Navajo-Charley-fossil-earrings.htm

Those are really cool!! I'm thinking a fossil type stone or a type of flint. Not sure if flint is used in jewelry.

Thanks so much. Fossil matter it is.

Nice find! I'm fairly sure its jasper not fossil. I own a few pieces of petrified wood and fossil jewelry and they look a little different than yours.

Yes, some flint is used in jewelry. I worked on a ranch in Amarillo and it had a specific type of flint known as alibates and it made beautiful jewelry when polished.

Beautiful earrings! I have really taken a liking to semi precious stones in sterling. They seem to usually do better than the unadorned items.

Assuming they were garage sale finds? Mind if I ask how much you paid for them?

Picture jasper!!! One of my favorites. Nice combo of stones.
