    Do anyone here knows about theses stones
    I found it in my garden today under the soil in a clay pot. I filled that pot a year ago. I was changing the soil and noticed these stones at the bottom. I never placed them.
    Is there anyone who can tell if these stones are worth keeping. I have heard sometimes such stones are very valuable
    Need Guidance please

    Here are the pictures

      The first two pics look common beach stones that have been tumbled to polish them up. Agates and Jasper are not uncommon with beach stones. The last pic looks like volcanic rock common for landscaping purposes. That is my best judgement. I would look to Google for images of those to compare with.

        In the first two pics, are they kind of some gems because in the pics, they might not be very clear but the white stones and the gray one are like polished.
        Can they be original gems.
        These stones were never there in the soil. I was changing the soil from the clay pot under the last layer I found these stones " the white ones" i never put them there.
        It's my first experience so i am just curious to know what it really is?...
        Can they be gems?

          My best guess is they are agates, yet the red one may be jasper. However, I am no expert. Both are gemstones or gems. As stated they both are at times found easily with beach stones. Yet, they both are found all over the world. Beach stones are used a lot for bulk purposes like landscaping, yet aren't tumbled to a polish, they are raw. So, they are inexpensive. When they are tumbled to a polish they are more expensive, yet they have ranges based on what kind of agate they are. All gems take millions to billions of years to form. Following is a link about the formation of gems.

          Polished agates are more expensive than raw agates. The range of value depends on what agate type it is, size, and etc. Here is a link offering an explanation to value.

          And, this link as an example for pricing for Lake Superior agates at Etsy.

          Here is a link to identify an agate.

          I hope that helps . . .

    Misbah,
    Keep those polished ones.  They are too beautiful to leave at the bottom of a pot.
    They have been tumbled in a polisher.
    Have fun with them. Identify them & write us a story.
    The other ones are just landscape fill like mulch to use around flowerbeds.
