Here is something different from the Rock Shed's gift department.
This is a very nice, above average quality Sandstone Tea Light candleholder.
It measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" x 2" and has a natural, rough exterior.
The holder has a unique blend of color and design making it one our all-time
favorites. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed
mainly of sand size mineral or rock grains. Most Sandstone is composed
of Quartz and/or Feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the
earth's crust. It can be almost any color. The Sandstone beds
often form highly visible cliffs and are strongly identified with certain
regions of the world.

Selenite is a Crystalline variety of Gypsum. It is often transparent
and colorless. If the Selenite Crystals show translucency, opacity and/or
color, it is caused by the presence of other minerals and many be "druzy".
Selenite often appears to have a "cat's eye" appearance especially with the
polished variety. It will often magnify images when the translucency
is very clear.

Rose Quartz is a
member of the Quartz family that exhibits a pale Pink to Rose Red hue.
The color is usually due to the trace amounts of Titanium, Iron or Manganese
in the mass material. Some Rose Quartz contains microscopic Rutile needles
which produce an asterism in transmitted light. An all time favorite
at the Rock Shop.
