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.

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 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. This type of Marble will often have
small animal like creature fossils throughout the matrix or media.

of minerals. When it is found transparent, it is formed in to gemstones
while translucent-to-opaque material is usually carved into sculptural works.
The latter 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 Zoisite. Zoisite may be green, blue, brown, pink, yellow,
gray or colorless.

Obsidian is a type of naturally-occurring glass formed as
an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava erupted from
a volcano, cools rapidly through the glass transition temperature and freezes
without sufficient time for Crystal growth. Because of the lack of Crystal
structure, Obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness, leading
to its ancient use of projectile points (arrow heads), and its modern use
as surgical scalpel blades.

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.
