Stone Twenty-Three.

Stone Twenty-Eight was collected from Birdlings Flat. Its light colour made it stand out on the beach. It is a small stone, not quite twice the size of my thumbnail.

Stone Twenty-Eight is pink, a colour probably due to the presence of manganese. I don’t know what kind of stone it is. Rhodonite is pink but it usually has veins of black associated with it. The stone has polished well but the detailed photos showed up some tiny holes not easily visible to the naked eye.
