This is a very nice Picture Sandstone slab from Arizona. It measures
6" x 4 3/4" x 5/8" and has a smooth, unpolished finish. These slabs
are very unique in shape and size but would enhance any table or desk top.
It comes complete with a plastic display stand. 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 something different for the rock collector. This is a very unique
Rhyolite Stand Up Freeform Sculpture. This beauty measures 8" x 6" x
3" and has a natural unpolished finish. It would make a great gift as
it is a super eye-catcher. Another
photo.
Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock that is composed of Felsic, or
Silicate minerals such as Silica, Aluminum, Sodium and Potassium. The
material is similar to that of Granite, Pumice and Obsidian but due to the
cooling process when formed, Rhyolite did not form any crystals, thus changing
the texture of the material.

This is an above average quality and very beautiful Green Malachite specimen
from South Africa. The overall size is 4 1/4" x 3 1/2" x
2". This specimen is polished all around except the bottom. A great
addition to your collection.
Malachite is a Copper Carbonate mineral that often forms botryoidal,
fibrous or stalagmitic masses. It is often the result of the weathering
of Copper Ores and is commonly found with Azurite, Goethite and Calcite.
It is typically associated with Copper deposits including Limestone which
is the source of the Carbonate. Malachite is found in many regions world
wide and is usually shaded green in color.

This is a very nice, very interesting Marble heart from China. It measures
3" x 2 3/4" x 1" and has a nice polished finish. This material has a
Reddish-Brown color with Grey and White accents with a very unique design.
A great collectors item or a super gift. Item will be similar to item
in the picture. Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone
but composed mostly of Calcite. It is used extensively for sculptures,
building materials and has many decorative uses. The pure white Marble
is probably the most common form known, but the characteristic swirls and
veins of many colored Marble varieties are usually due to various mineral
impurities such as Clay, Silt, Sand, Iron Oxides or Chert.

Moldavite is the product of a meteor collision with the Earth nearly
15 million years ago. It fell over what is now called the Moldau River

minerals on the Earth. They have been prized by humans for thousands
of years and are still given as gifts from royalty to royalty.

This is a very nice Brazilian Agate Geode end cut. It measures
approximately 6 1/2" x 5 3/4" and is polished on the cut side.
This Agate has a nice, natural frosted interior which exhibits beautiful Crystals
with a very pretty Tan, Blue and Grey Agate design. A nice display piece for
your collection. Very beautiful. Agates mostly occur as nodules
in volcanic rocks or waters containing Silica in solution which is 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.
It is very unlikely that you would ever find an exact duplicate of
any type of Agate, Brazilian or other.

A Meteorite is a natural object originating in outer space that survives
an impact with the Earth's surface without being destroyed. There are
3 types of meteorites: stony, which are mainly composed of Silicate minerals;
Iron, which are largely composed of metallic Iron-Nickel; and stony-Iron,
which are composed of both types of media.

Here is a nicely polished Quartz Crystal. This beauty measures
2 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" and has a good polish. The Crystal
has a beautiful shape and almost clear appearance. This larger Crystal
has a polished exterior with an natural exterior divot between two of the
facets. It has some internal Chloride inclusions which only add to the
character. 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.
