Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz often used as an ornament.
Upon exposure to heat, Amethyst generally becomes yellow, which some refer
to as Citrine or "burnt" Amethyst. It occurs in color from a light,
slightly pinkish violet to a deep grape purple. It is widely distributed
as a mineral.

Geodes are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and
certain volcanic rocks. They are essentially rock cavities or vugs with
internal Crystal formations or concentric banding. The exterior is
generally Limestone while the interior contains Quartz Crystals and/or
Chalcedony deposits. If the Geode is completely filled with Crystal,
being solid all the way through, it is then called a nodule.

Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental
crust. It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals.
Although Quartz is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction
between types of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals
visible to the unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals
are only visible under high magnification. There are many forms of Quartz
including Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of
mineral impurities or heat treatments. |

Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters
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. |

Jade, or Jadeite, is a Silicate mineral made from a Sodium and Aluminum
mix that is usually found in igneous and/or metamorphic rocks. Jade is as
hard as Quartz, is exceptionally tough, beautifully colored and can be
delicately shaped or carved. |

In southwest Wyoming (and parts of Colorado and
Utah) in the Green River Formation are found some of the world's most
outstanding specimens of fossil fish. The Green River system was composed
of three lakes: Lake Ulinta, Lake
Gosiute and Fossil Lake. These Eocene Lakes lay in a series of
intermountain basins formed by geological events that uplifted the Rocky
Mountains during the early Tertiary time.
The Climate was much different from the
desert-like climate of this area today. Both the fauna (crocodiles,
alligators, boa constrictors and some subtropical fish families) and the
flora (such as large palm trees) indicate a climate much like that found
along the Gulf Coast today. Large amounts of ash found in the sediments
indicate that volcanoes were particularly active at this time.
The fossils found in the
Green River Formation are between 40-60 Million years old and are in
excellent preservation. The most common fish found in the formation is
the Knightia, a herring-like fish. They are found singularly or in large
groupings. These groupings are referred to as "Mortality Layers" and are
believed to have been caused by extensive ash fall-out after volcanic
eruptions. Some of the other species of fish found in the Green River
Formation are: Phareodus, a carnivorous fish often found up to 2 feet in
length and having many sharp teeth. Mioplosus, a true perch, and
Priscacara, a sunfish-like fish with stout dorsal and anal spines. There
are also turtles, stingrays, crocodiles and alligator gar-fish.
The fossils of the Green River Formation
- each one unique - are some of nature's finest art. They are highly valued
by collectors the world over. |

Pyrite, or Iron Pyrite, is an Iron sulfide with isometric Crystals
that usually appear as cubes. It is brittle and can break or powder
easily. Its metallic luster and brass yellow hue have earned it the
nickname of "fool's gold" due to many miners mistaken it for the real
thing. Ironically, small quantities of actual gold are sometimes found in
Pyrite. It is the most common of the sulfide minerals and is usually found
with other sulfides or oxides in Quartz veins, sedimentary or metamorphic
rocks. |
