Collage of 6 drawn stones

Drawtober 2021 #1

It’s drawtober time✨ and this was my first topic: Stones and gemstones! I recently re-discovered my stone+gemstone collection from my youth (there I was a time I thought about becoming a geologist) and I admire it so much when artists can draw stones, gemstones, crystals, geological formations…so I practiced! 🙂

Stone drawn with bluecoloured pencils, inks (grey, brown, yellow) and black fineliner
Stone 1, starting with the most used stone on my drawing table (as paperweight) because it’s heavy and a little bit shiny
Stone drawn with blue coloured pencils, inks (grey, blue, purple) and black fineliner
Stone 2, Feuerstein mit Kreidekruste / Flintstone with chalk crust (very common at the Baltic Sea, sometimes with a hole in it)
Stone drawn with redcoloured pencils, inks (grey, brown, light green) and black fineliner
Stone 3, looks for me like a variant of quartzite with glassy and grainy surface areas
Stone drawn with brown coloured pencils, inks (grey, brown, light blue) and black fineliner
Stone 4, Feuerstein / flintstone
Stone drawn with blue coloured pencils, inks (grey, blue, yellow) and black fineliner
Stone 5
Stone drawn with red coloured pencils, inks (grey, brown, blue) and black fineliner
Stone 6, Alkalifeldspatgranit mit sehr deutlichem, rotem Kalifeldspat / Alkali feldspar granite with prominent red potassium feldspar
Stone drawn with orange coloured pencils, inks (grey, orange, yellow) and black fineliner
Stone 7, Orangencalcit / Orange Calcite
Stone drawn with blackcoloured pencils, inks (grey, light blue, black) and black fineliner
Stone 8, looks like Kalkspat mit Silbererzen / Calcite with silver ore? But I am really not sure if this is correct
Stone drawn with blue coloured pencils, inks (grey, light green, light blue) and black fineliner
Stone 9, could be some kind of light grey slate
Stone drawn with brown coloured pencils, inks (grey, brown, purple) and black fineliner
Stone 10, always looked to me like Amethyst but is definitely more likely purple Fluorapatite from area Greifensteine (gift by my grandfather)
