Aragonite is a Carbonate mineral that can occur in conjunction with
Calcium Carbonates. Aragonite differs from Calcite in the formation
of the Crystal shapes which can be in lattice, crystal, columnar or fibrous
in many different designs, shapes and sizes. Aragonite will form in
mollusk shells, oceans and salt water caves as inorganic precipitates called
marine cements and speleotherms. Ammolite is a form of Aragonite with
impurities that make it iridescent and valuable as a gemstone. |

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but composed
mostly of Calcite. It is used extensively for sculpture, building
materials 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.
Turritella are actually shells of the freshwater gastropod, Elimia tenera.
These fossils are considered to be from the Eocene Epoch to the Cretaceous period
in age.

Oxide such as Goethite or Hematite. It is commonly found in Shale, Siltstones

Fuchsite is a green variety of Muscovite Mica. It differs from most
other Muscovite by having a variable amount of trivalent Chromium
substituting for Aluminum within the mineral. Chromium is the source of
Fuchsite's green color. It sometimes has Ruby Crystals which are
completely opaque and unsuitable as gemstones, but are well colored and
contrast strikingly against the green matrix of the Fuchsite.

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 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.
