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. |

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 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.

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.
