Can you help to identify what kind of kidney stone I have?

I have just passed my first stone (and I managed to keep it). I have looked online and have tried to work out what kind of stone I have so I can make lifestyle changes and prevent having more stones - but I can't work out what kind of stone I have. Can anyone help? You can view the photos at this link:

Hi,

It's impossible to know for sure looking at a stone, but what you can do is have your doctor send it out to a lab  and they will give you a comprehensive report.  That stone is a good-sized stone!!!!  

I hope you didn't have complications passing it.  By knowing the type of stone, you and your doctor can come up with a plan to help prevent another one from developing.
