Calcite is a Carbonate mineral that is most widely distributed on
the Earth's surface. It is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks with
Limestone in particular. A Calcite formation can take on many different
shapes and sizes which is dependent on the location, ground water
occurrence and temperature. Calcite is usually white or colorless but can
be gray, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown or black. The deeper the
color is usually indicative of the definitive impurities from the earth or
water. |

Tiger-eye is a member of the quartz family, a cryptocrystalline
variety. It is one of the chatoyant varieties of gemstones. Due to the
fibrous structure of the gemstone, as light reflects within the thin
parallel fibrous bands it exhibits a changeable silky luster or chatoyancy.
It occurs naturally in colors of gold and blue.

There is only one exactly like this available. Fluorite, also referred to as fluor-spar, is a mineral composed of
Calcium Fluoride. It is a widely occurring mineral found world wide and
is often found with metallic minerals such as Galena, Sphalerite, Barite,
Quartz and Calcite. Fluorite may fluoresce strongly in ultraviolet light
which may be due to the presence of some impurities such as Yttrium. Blue
is the most common color but red, purple, green, yellow and white are also
frequent. It can be used in high performance telescopes, camera lens,
enamels and in the making of opalescent glass. |

Jasper is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is usually red, yellow
or brown in color. Jasper can appear as an opaque rock with shades of
red due to mineral impurities. Patterns can arise from the formation
process and flow patterns in the sediment or volcanic ash that was saturated
with silica which formed the banding or swirling designs in the rock. |

containing silica in solution possibly derived from the decomposition of
silicates in the lava. The siliceous matter is deposited in regular
layers resulting in the banded or striped formation. |

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but mostly
composed of Calcite. It is used extensively for sculpture, building
material and has many decorative uses. The pure white Marble is probably
the most common form known, but the characteristic swirls and veins of
many colored Marble varieties are usually due to various mineral
impurities such as Clay, Silt, Sand, Iron Oxides or Chert. |
