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.

Orthoceras Bookends

BK400c  Here is a very nice, above average quality set of Black Orthoceras bookends.  This set measures over 8" x 6 1/4" x 2 1/4" and has a nice polish on the front, middle, top and side faces and have an interesting dotted design on the front face.  The bookends have been cut, carved and polished from Fossil Rock material to expose the very unique fossils.  This material is from Morocco.  The bookends make great decorator pieces as well as super collectibles for the fossil hunter.

Orthoceras is a genus of extinct Nautiloid Cephalopod.  These fossils are common and have a global distribution which occur in any marine rock, especially Limestone.  These are slender, elongated shells with the middle of the body chamber transversely constricted and a sub-central orthochoanitic siphuncle.  The surface is ornamented by a network of fine lirae or fine lines/ridges.

Petrified Wood Bookends

BK407c  This is a very pretty set of Sequoia Petrified Wood bookends from Saddle Mountain, Washington.  This set of bookends shows the growth lines in the wood very well and has a great polish. They are polished on one side with black felt in the middle and bottom for protection.  The set measures 5 3/4" tall and 9 1/4" wide and 1 3/4" thick.  A nice gift that was once a living tree.

Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining the original structure of the wood.  These minerals are most often Silicates such as Quartz.  Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water or mud during the petrification process gives Petrified Wood a variety of color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.  Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its detail all the way down to the microscopic level.  Structures such as tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features.  Although Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.

The set weighs 6 lbs. 13 oz.

rhyolite bookends

Birds Eye Rhyolite Bookends

BK410c  This is something different from the Rock Shed's gift department.  Here is an above average quality set of Bird's Eye Rhyolite bookends.  This material is from northern Mexico.  The set measures 10 3/8" x 61/2" x over 3 1/4". Due to the nature of this material it does not have a high polish. This material is a pretty Pink-Beige color with an interesting design throughout the material. 

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 set weighs 8 lbs. 11 oz.

Geodes are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks.  They are essentially rock cavities or vugs with internal Crystal formations or concentric banding.  The exterior is generally Limestone while the interior contains Quartz Crystals and/or Chalcedony deposits.  If the Geode is completely filled with Crystal, being solid all the way through, it is then called a nodule.

The set weighs 2 lbs. 6 oz.
