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

Onyx is a banded variety of Chalcedony which in turn is a form of
Quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color
except shades of purple, blue and black. It is used for vases, bowls,
beads, cabochons and other items. The name has sometimes been used
incorrectly to label other banded lapidary materials, such as banded
Calcite. This type is found in Mexico and Pakistan and is often carved,
polished and sold. The material is much softer than true Onyx and much
more readily available.

Here is a beautiful, heart shaped, Orange Selenite Tea Light Candle Holder.
It measures 4 3/4" x 5" x 3" and is polished on the top. A great gift
for that special person. 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.

Here is a very beautiful Crystal Quartz Tea Light Candle Holder.
It measures over 6" x nearly 4 1/2" x 2 3/8" and has been polished on the top and side
facets. Very pretty!! 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. 3-30-11

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.
