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 1/2" square and has a natural, rough exterior. The holder
has a unique blend of color and a very interesting shape and design.
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.

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.

gift for that special person. Selenite is a Crystalline variety of

a "cat's eye" appearance especially with the polished variety. It will
often magnify images when the translucency is very clear.

a heart shape to the outer design. Rose Quartz is a member of the
