Hey, I have some questions about some stones we got from an old lady.
I can post pictures of them, I'll start in a few moments. :)
Any information about them would be greatly appreciated x

Can you lay the rocks down, no fingers and take clear pictures of them?

The first looks like quartz.

The second, the shine, might be hematite, but I'd need a better picture.
 
Near as I can tell, the first one is a stone, the second is a rock, and the third is a shard. I could be wrong though, the pictures are rather fuzzy.

What did the old lady say they were? You shouldn't accept rocks from strangers.
 
I'll grab a better camera and put some more photos on later on
 
those must have been very painful to pass
