Are these for real?? If they are, they're pretty amazing. More are at the link.

Yup! Isn't Mother Nature amazing? Every time I think there cannot be any more combinations or colors of stones/minerals, another awesome example pops up. Those are spectacular.

ETA: and thank you so much for posting the link.

Sorry, that second picture reminds me of something at the bottom part.

I believe those are real.

A Google search of the third item turned up Bismuth Crystal. The only thing I think of when I hear the word bismuth is Pepto-Bismol!

They are all real. There are some wonderful agates and jaspers. I have a piece of agate that looks like an undersea scene with floating coral - it's amazing. Good ones get snapped up quickly though.

The third picture is a mineral with a titanium coating (so it's not real in that sense).
