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.

Amethyst is a purple variety of Quartz often
used as an ornament. Upon exposure to heat, Amethyst generally becomes
yellow, which some refer to as Citrine or "burnt" Amethyst. It occurs
in color from a light, slightly pinkish violet to a deep grape purple.
It is widely distributed as a mineral, but fine, clear specimens that are
suitable for cutting as ornamental stones.

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.

Here is a beautiful large combination Selenite and Fluorite Lamp.
The upper portion is Selenite and is nearly clear. It is carved to fit
into a hole in the base. The base or lower part is a large piece of
Fluorite and has a hint of a nice Lavender color. This lamp measures nearly
10" tall x over 5 1/4 " x nearly 8 1/2 wide" and has a natural
unpolished exterior. Just amazing. Another photo
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.
Fluorite,
also known as fluor-spar, is a mineral composed of Calcium Fluoride.
It is a widely occurring mineral and is often found with metallic minerals
such as Galena and Sphalerite, but also with Barite, Quartz and Calcite.
It may fluoresce strongly in ultraviolet light. Although blue is the
most common color, it can also be red, purple, green, yellow and white.

Calcite is a Carbonate mineral that is most widely distributed on the Earth's
surface. It is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks with Limestone
in particular. A Calcite formation can take on many different shapes
and sizes which is dependent on the location, ground water occurrence and
temperature. Calcite is usually white or colorless but can be gray,
red, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown or black. The deeper the color
is usually indicative of the definitive impurities from the earth or water.

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.
