different shapes and sizes which is dependent on the location, ground
water occurrence and temperature. Calcite is usually white or colorless

This material is a new find from Madagascar. The deposit formed as
a rhyolite flow but has been completely silicified. The Rhyolitic eyes or
orbs come in an astonishing array of colors and color combinations. The
back ground can be white, pink, green, red, or yellow. Botryoidal formations
as well as white and deep green druzy are also common. This deposit has
been discovered at the edge of the ocean. It can only be seen and collected
at low tide. The area has no road so the material must be transported to
civilization by boat. This material is fast becoming a rarity in the
Jasper ocean fields, so get one while it is still available.

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.

Here is an interesting find!! This is a very nice Birds Eye
Rhyolite heart. It measures over 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x over 1 1/4" and
has been hand polished, therefore close observation would reveal some smaller
flatter areas. This material has a softer composition so it will not
hold a shiny, polished finish. A good catch for the heart collector.
There is only one available.
Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock that is composed of Felsic, or
Silicate minerals such as Silica, Aluminum, Sodium and Potassium.
The material is similar to that of Granite, Pumice and Obsidian but due
to the cooling process when formed, Rhyolite did not form any crystals,
thus changing the texture of the material.
