Tumbled Stones Trade Names

When I first set off on my gemstone/tumble stone adventure I was very surprised at all the different names associated with tumble stones it became apparent to me over time how many tumble stones there were that had a different name for the same stone! So to help you learn your tumble stones a lot easier then I did I have decided to list all the most common tumble stones along with their real name and their trade/false name.
This is not a complete list by any means as it would be impossible to do that but I have included as many tumble stones as possible.
