Dalmatian Stone, or orbicular Rhyolite, is an igneous rock that
was formed by lava flows on the Earth's surface. The spots or "orbs"
probably occurred when molten lava reacted with fragments of rock known
as Xenoliths. These stones are light to dark tan in color with black
spots throughout. The nickname "Dalmatian" was given to this unusual
looking mineral because of its resemblance to a Dalmatian dog's spots.

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. |

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.

The term "shungite" was originally used in 1879 to describe a
mineraloid with more than 98 percent carbon. More recently the term has
also been used to describe shungite-bearing rocks, leading to some
confusion. Shungite has to date mainly been found in Russia. Shungite has
been used in medical treatment since the early 18th-century. "Peter the
Great" set up Russia's first spa to utilize the water purifying properties
of shungite and instigated its use in providing purified water for the
Russian army. The anti-bacterial properties of shungite have been
confirmed by modern testing. |

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.
