Onyx is a banded variety of Calcite. 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. This type
is found in Mexico and Pakistan and is often carved and polished into
various items. This material is much more readily available and softer
than the gemstone commonly called Black Onyx which is a silica gem.

Here is a very pretty Chinese Fluorite Obelisk. This piece measures 3
1/8"
in height x just over 1". This item has a great emerald green color,
fabulous inclusions, "rainbow" reflections and a nice polish.
Although this is natural color, will over time fade in
bright sun light. With that in mind it is best suited for interior decor.
A truly gorgeous piece!

Fluorite, also referred to as fluor-spar, is a mineral composed of
Calcium Fluoride. It is a widely occurring mineral found world wide and
is often found with metallic minerals such as Galena, Sphalerite, Barite,
Quartz and Calcite. Fluorite may fluoresce strongly in ultraviolet light
which may be due to the presence of some impurities such as Yttrium. Blue
is the most common color but red, purple, green, yellow and white are also
frequent. It can be used in high performance telescopes, camera lens,
enamels and in the making of opalescent glass. |

Dalmatian Stone, or orbicular Rhyolite, is an igneous rock that was
formed by lava flows on the Earth's surface. The spots or "orbs" probably
occurred when molten lava reacted with fragments of rock known as
Xenoliths. These stones are light to dark tan in color with black spots
throughout. The nickname "Dalmatian" was given to this unusual looking
mineral because of its resemblance to a Dalmatian dog's spots. |

stone. Although massive samples are opaque, Crystals are usually
transparent to translucent. It is very similar to Lapis but with out the
Pyrite Crystals and distinguishable color differences. It makes great

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. |

Astrophyllite is a very rare, brown to golden yellow hydrous
potassium iron titanium silicate mineral. The name comes from the Greek
words astron meaning "star" and phyllon meaning "leaf." sharply with the
light colored matrix the mineral is regularly found within. Astrophyllite
is usually opaque to translucent, but may be transparent in thin
specimens. The mineral is mostly interesting for scientists and
collectors, though sometimes it is also used in jewelry where it is
fashioned into cabochons.

Lapis is a rock and not a mineral because it is made up from
various other minerals. To be a mineral it would have one constituent
only, and Lapis has several including Lazurite, Sodium, Aluminum, Silicon,
Oxygen, Sulfur and Chlorine. Most Lapis contains Calcite, Sodalite and
Pyrite. The best color is an intense blue that is lightly dusted with
small flecks of Pyrite. Lapis takes an excellent polish and has been made
into jewelry, carvings, boxes, mosaics and ornamental objects.

Soapstone, also known as Steatite or Soaprock, is a metamorphic
rock or Talc-Schist. It is composed of the mineral Talc and is rich in
Magnesium and is formed by the metamorphism of ultramafic protoliths and
the metasomatism of siliceous Dolostones. It is a very soft material and
may have a soapy feel when touched. It can be easily carved into
decorative items as well as bowls or other cooking utensils. It is used by
welders and fabricators as a marker due to its resistance to heat.

Pyrite, or Iron Pyrite, is an Iron sulfide with isometric Crystals
that usually appear as cubes. It is brittle and can break or powder
easily. Its metallic luster and brass yellow hue have earned it the
nickname of "fool's gold" due to many miners mistaken it for the real
thing. Ironically, small quantities of actual gold are sometimes found in
Pyrite. It is the most common of the sulfide minerals and is usually
found with other sulfides or oxides in Quartz veins, sedimentary or
metamorphic rocks.

Amazonite is a green variety of Feldspar. The name is taken from
that of the Amazon River, from which certain green stones were formerly
obtained, but it is doubtful whether green Feldspar occurs in the Amazon
area. It is a mineral of limited occurrence but is often associated with
smoky Quartz, Orthoclase and Albite in a coarse Granite or Pegmatite.
Because of its bright green color when polished, Amazonite is sometimes
cut and used as a gemstone, although it is easily fractured.

by a reducing flame. The most common form of Goldstone give the illusion
of being a reddish-brown, although in fact the color comes from the Copper
crystals and the glass itself is colorless. Other variants have an
intensely color matrix usually blue or violet, and more rare, green.

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.

Labradorite is a Feldspar mineral that occurs in large Crystal
masses in Anorthosite and shows an iridescence or "play of colors."
Gemstone varieties of Labradorite exhibiting a high degree of
iridescence are Spectrolite, Moonstone and Sunstone. High quality
samples with good iridescent qualities are desired for jewelry.
