This is a very pretty, beautifully colored Poly-Chrome Jasper
egg with a very interesting pattern. It measures 2 1/4" x 1 5/8"
with a nice polish. This material is from Madagascar. This is
something different for the egg collector. 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.

This is a pretty egg made from Petrified Wood from Madagascar. It measures
2 3/8" x 1 3/4 and has a nice polish. This egg has a great mix of Earth
tone colors. Close observation will reveal a small fill area on the
bottom of the egg. Although this minor flaw exists, it does not take
from the overall appearance of the and still makes an excellent addition to
your collection. 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, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process give 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.

EGG401c Here is
a nice Septarian egg from Utah. It measures 2 1/2" x 2" and has a nice
polish. This egg has a nice mix of soft Yellow Calcite and Brown Aragonite.
A very nice addition to an egg or Septarian collection, but they are limited
so grab it quick before it is gone. Septarian, also know as a type
of Concretion, is a volume of sedimentary rock in which a mineral cement fills
the porosity. Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape.
They form within layers of sedimentary strata that has already been deposited.
It is composed of a Carbonate mineral such as Calcite, a Silica such as Chert,
Flint or Jasper or an Iron Oxide such as Goethite or Hematite. It is
commonly found in Shale, Siltstones and Sandstones.
