Here is a very pretty Black Rainbow Obsidian egg. It measures 2 1/4"
x 1 3/4" and has a very nice, highly polished finish. This egg is very
unique; it has an unusual lumpy, bumpy appearance with an interesting Silver
Sheen on both sides. Something different for the egg collector.
Obsidian is a rock which is a type of naturally occurring glass that is
produced by volcanoes when felsic lava cools rapidly and freezes without sufficient
time for Crystal growth. It is an extrusive igneous rock. Because
Obsidian lacks Crystal structure, the blade edges can reach almost molecular
thinness, leading to the ancient use of arrow heads and the modern use of
surgical scalpel blades.

Here is a very beautiful, above average Rose Quartz
egg. It measures approximately 2 1/4" x 1 3/4". The egg
has a nice soft Pink color and good clarity. A must have for your egg
collection. Rose Quartz is a type of Quartz which exhibits a pale
pink to a rose red hue. The color is usually due to its trace amounts
of Titanium, Iron or Manganese. Sometimes it will contain microscopic
Rutile needles which produce an asterism in transmitted light. It is
rarely found in Crystal form. It is not very popular as a faceted gem
because the stones are always cloudy, the pink color is often too pale and
most Rose Quartz gems have large flaws.
