I've been trying to identify some of the stones I've been using to make knives maybe you could help me out
I'm far from being a geologist, (more of a Rockhound) but if I had to guess I would say that the majority of your material looks like Brazilian agate. Your finished products look quite magnificent. Do you make them to sell or is it just a hobby?
I don't collect gemstones for like witchy spiritual astronomy stuff. I collect them because when I was younger I wasn't allowed to hold expensive shiney things and now I can buy expensive shiney things and it makes my nerodivergent dragon monkey brain happy when im holding my horde.

I was supposed to just use this as warm up sketches before I do the actual illustration I was finishing but ended up having fun coloring and rendering this. I wanted to draw some rock formations based on my imagination since I did some studies where I drew from references and am kinda comfortable with it now after adding it to my visual library and doing it quiet a few times.
