Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where
all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining
the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates
such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process gives Petrified Wood a variety of
color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.
Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its
detail all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as
tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features. Although
Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities
and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.

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.

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.

Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock that is composed of Felsic, or
Silicate minerals such as Silica, Aluminum, Sodium and Potassium. The
material is similar to that of Granite, Pumice and Obsidian but due to the
cooling process when formed, Rhyolite did not form any crystals, thus
changing the texture of the material.

This is a very nice Birds Eye Rhyolite egg. It measures
nearly 2 3/4" tall x almost 2" in diameter. This unique egg has a hand polished finish so close
observation would reveal some smaller flat areas. Since this is a softer
stone it does not take a high polish but it is something different and
will make a great gift for the sphere collector. Another photo

Jasper, or spotted stone, is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is
usually red, yellow or brown in color. Picture Jaspers simultaneously
exhibit several variants such as banding, flow patterns, dendrites or color
variations. This results in what appears to be scenes or images in a
cut section of the Jasper.
