Re: different types of stones formed in different places?

I noticed that the stones I've produced tend to be of two types: bright green shiny smooth jewel-like blobs and brown, lumpy, spotty blobs that are usually bigger in size.

Is it possible that the green stones come directly out of the liver and the brown lumpy ones are a conglomeration of the little green ones that get glued together in the gall bladder?

My big brown ones look like they are a bunch of the green ones glued or smooshed together, with only the color being different. Some of the brown ones even fall apart into smaller smooth lumps, the only difference between them and the green ones is color.

Also, anyone know why these things form in the first place? Is it the liver's way of isolating toxic or foreign substances? I can't find any thought theories on this, just "the facts" Tweet
