It's almost as if the have been made by an artisan. Are these gemrocks considered precious or semi-precious stones , can they be sculpted like amber and jade?

Are these gemrocks considered precious or semi-precious stones , can they be sculpted like amber and jade?

The mineral is formed the same as Tigers Eye, but the fibrous structure is then broken and the fragments are cemented together by quartz (called brecciation, as you mentioned) as it replaces the blue and green mineral crocidolite. Its a complicated process and only a few places in the world can produce the conditions needed to make those last alterations! Very beautiful photography, it is quite unique to use rocks as your subject :) Being a photographer AND a studying geologist, lets see if i can help!
