Second pic is probably tourmaline. First one is difficult to tell.

I am about 80% sure that the first one is siberian jade.What I am not sure about is if it comes from a core somthing?

Bixbite looks completely different, it belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. This crystal is obviously trigonal.
It looks quite big and big bixbite finds are very very very rare. So don't get overly excited.

I don't know what type of stone it is...however I like it. PM an asking price...think big...you never know.

My first thought, OMG, what beautiful tourmaline!
Bixbite, I would't think so either, see above ref.

Got any one can check it for you? :icon_scratch:
Inquiring minds, would like to know! :laughing7:

Has all the appearance of Tourmaline. Only way to know for sure is to have it checked by a geologist,gemologist or a trusted jeweler. rockhound

Appears to be a fine specimen of rose tourmaline. :icon_thumleft:
and yes Jade on the cylinder.
I think black/dk green tourmaline on the other one.

Very nice,

GG~
