Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters containing
silica in solution possibly derived from the decomposition of silicates in the
lava. The siliceous matter is deposited in regular layers resulting in
the banded or striped formation.

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

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.

Jasper, or spotted stone, is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that
is usually red, yellow or brown in color. Some Jaspers simultaneously
exhibit several variants such as banding, flow patterns, dendrites or
color variations. This results in what appears to be scenes or images in
a cut section of the Jasper.

surface oxidation. It is often worked as an ornamental stone as true
Crystals are rare to find.

The Ocean (Sea) Jasper deposit, even though it was found only a few years ago,
is nearly gone and the material is becoming hard to find. 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 was 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.
Several other types of jasper are found in that area now but the orbicular
Jasper is gone.

The Mica group of silicate minerals included several closely related
materials with nearly perfect basal cleavage. That most prominent
characteristic is explained by the hexagonal arrangement of it's atoms.
It's name is derived from the Latin word Mica and likely influenced by
Micare, to shine or glitter. Mica is invaluable in the electrical industry
because of it's unique physical, chemical and thermal properties, low
power loss factor, dielectric constant and dielectric strength.
