Picture Stones
Seeing a picture in a stone is a very individual experience. Not everyone
sees the same picture, if any. The stones on this page are ones we feel
are more recognisable as containing pictures by a greater number of people,
based on what our friends tell us they see. This does not mean that the
only stones on this site with pictures are to be found on this page. There
are a number of them on the Beads page, and throughout the others. It's
an individual thing: if you see a picture, it's there. Prices are in USA
$.
Look at the stones and try to find a picture. Click
on the stone to get an enlarged view, and a description of the picture
that most of us at Stoned Opal see.
