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.

This is a cracked Moroccan Geode. They vary in size and where the geode is
cracked but most will be approximately 3". They all have a sparkly white
inside and you will receive both halves. These are an overstock item.
Similar to like item.
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.

This is a repaired Fossil Fish Priscacara from the Eocene Age
from the Green River Formation, Lincoln County, Wyoming. The very
detailed complete fossil measures 5" from head to tail x
2 1/2". The fossil fish specimen is in light colored Limestone
matrix measuring nearly 6 3/4" wide x 4 3/4" x 3/8" thick. This
piece broke and was glued back together as clearly seen in the photos,
still a great fossil. These fossil
fish lived some 50 million years ago.

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. |

Here is a very nice specimen of South Dakota Baculite and Clam. The
fossil itself measures 3 3/8" x 1 3/4" x 1 1/8" and has not been polished.
This fossil has a nice "fish scale like" iridescent color with good detail.
Overall, the specimen measures 5 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 4 1/8".
The Clam measures 1" x 7/8". This fossil was not correctly prepped but
still a very nice specimen and a great
way to begin your fossil collection.

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

Soapstone, also known as Steatite or Soaprock, is a metamorphic
rock or Talc-Schist. It is composed of the mineral Talc and is rich in
Magnesium and is formed by the metamorphism of ultramafic protoliths and
the metasomatism of siliceous Dolostones. It is a very soft material and
may have a soapy feel when touched. It can be easily carved into
decorative items as well as bowls or other cooking utensils. It is used by
welders and fabricators as a marker due to its resistance to heat.

tall x 3 1/2" thick and weigh over 4.25 pounds. They have a great polish on

"flash" in the rough unpolished areas. This set is a very "tippy"
thus the reduced price. A great set!

Labradorite is a Feldspar mineral that occurs in large Crystal masses
in Anorthosite and shows an iridescence or "play of colors." Gemstone
varieties of Labradorite exhibiting a high degree of iridescence are
Spectrolite, Moonstone and Sunstone. High quality samples with good
iridescent qualities are desired for jewelry. |

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. |
