Don't we just love when our husband (or lover) do those little crazy things for us? Now, you have even a better motivation to learn to identify gems. But, what ever it is, those will stay really valuable to you.

He got me more stones. They are harder & do scratch glass. They are similar in texture to some of my other stones. His are the ones with the bands in them. I still have not been able to identify the stone's. I even used the link. I guess I get confused. They all have that smooth surface.

I would guess chert of some sort on the smaller ones. Bigger one has a jaspery appearance but some weathered rocks can get that look, even with a glossy finish. Some chert/flint takes a very glossy polish and can thus cut beautiful cabochons. I have a friend who has cut a number of leaverite-type stones for us with good results.
