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. |

Fluorite, also referred to as fluor-spar, is a
mineral composed of Calcium Fluoride. It is a widely occurring mineral
found world wide and is often found with metallic minerals such as Galena,
Sphalerite, Barite, Quartz and Calcite. Fluorite may fluoresce strongly in
ultraviolet light which may be due to the presence of some impurities such
as Yttrium. Blue is the most common color but red, purple, green, yellow
and white are also frequent. It can be used in high performance
telescopes, camera lens, enamels and in the making of opalescent glass.

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.
