EGG400b
This is a pretty glass Phosphorescence
egg. It
is a pale green color in normal light and shows a brighter green in the
dark. Phosphorescence material glows in the dark without using
ultraviolet light. Typically, the glowing slowly fades out within minutes
or up to a few hours. This very cool egg measures
approximately 1 3/4" tall x
nearly 1 3/8" in diameter and has an unpolished exterior texture much like a
real egg. Something different and
interesting.

It was first discovered within included blocks or adjacent to lavas on Mt.

Opalite is a trade name for a man-made precious opal imitation. It
is usually made of glass or resin. Man-made or not, it is definitely a

Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz often used as an
ornament. It occurs in color from a light, slightly pinkish violet to
a deep grape purple. Upon exposure to heat, Amethyst generally becomes
yellow, which some refer to as Citrine or "burnt" Amethyst. It is
widely distributed as a mineral, but fine, clear specimens that are
suitable for cutting as ornamental stones.

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.
Tourmaline is one of the most chemically complicated of all Silicate
minerals. It is a complex Silicate of Aluminum and Boron and the
composition varies widely with Sodium, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Lithium
and many other elements that enter into it's structure. It can occur in a
long, slender needle-like crystal to a thick prismatic and columnar
crystal to a radial like daisy formation. It comes in many colors usually
black and brown (iron rich); brown and yellow (magnesium rich); and blue,
red, green, yellow, and pink (lithium rich). This mineral is found in
igneous rocks, like Granite Pegmatite, and metamorphic rocks such as
Schist and Marble.

Amazonite is a green variety of Feldspar. The name is taken from
that of the Amazon River, from which certain green stones were formerly
obtained, but it is doubtful whether green Feldspar occurs in the Amazon
area. It is a mineral of limited occurrence but is often associated with
smoky Quartz, Orthoclase and Albite in a coarse Granite or Pegmatite.
Because of its bright green color when polished, Amazonite is sometimes
cut and used as a gemstone, although it is easily fractured.

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.

Lapis is a rock and not a mineral because it is made up from various
other minerals. To be a mineral it would have one constituent only, and
Lapis has several including Lazurite, Sodium, Aluminum, Silicon, Oxygen,
Sulfur and Chlorine. Most Lapis contains Calcite, Sodalite and Pyrite. The
best color is an intense blue that is lightly dusted with small flecks of
Pyrite. Lapis takes an excellent polish and has been made into jewelry,
carvings, boxes, mosaics and ornamental objects. |
