BK100c Here is a very unique set
of Brown Orthoceras bookends from
Morocco. This exceptional set measures 7 3/4" wide x
5 3/4" tall x 2 3/8". The bookends have been cut and carved from Fossil Rock material to
expose the very unique Orthoceras fossils. The set has a neat
combination of fossil marble and a beautifully polished Orthoceras
protruding on each side. The bookends make great decorator pieces as well as super collectibles
for the fossil hunter.
The set weighs 7 lbs. 6.9 oz. 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. |

BK101c
This is a very pretty set of Dugway Geode bookends.
This gorgeous set has a beautiful design and very nice sparkling Geode
cavity on the both sides. The bookends measure 10 3/4" wide x
5 1/8" tall x 2 7/8" with highly polished
face and grey felt on the inner and bottom surfaces for protection. Just nice!
Total weight is 5 lbs. 3 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. |

Rose Quartz Bookends |
BK102b
Here's something original, a nice set of Rose Quartz bookends from
Madagascar. This
unique set measures approximately 6 1/2" wide x 5 5/8" tall x
3 1/2". They are polished on the front face and have a very cool design. They have felt on the bottom to protect wood from being scratched. Truly "one of a kind
item"!
This set weighs 6 lbs. 11.9 oz. 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. |

"rainbow" reflections all in a very cool design. It
also has the ability to be rearranged to give it a whole new look. Just lovely!
Total weight is 7 lbs. 7 oz. 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. |

Septarian Bookends |
BK104b
Here is a very nice set of Septarian bookends. This gorgeous

bookends have grey felt in the middle and bottom for protection. Just very nice!
The set weighs 6 lbs. 14.7 oz. Septarians are commonly composed of a carbonate mineral such as Calcite, a microcrystalline form of Silica as in Flint or Jasper, or an Iron Oxide such as Hematite. These specimens are also known as a concretion which is a type of sedimentary rock. Septarians were formed millions of years ago by sediment forming around a fossil to create a mud ball transforming the fossil into Calcite and Aragonite. |

lines, this does not affect the stability and is reflected in the reduced

great set!
Total weight 7 lbs. 14.7 oz. 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. |

Petrified Wood Bookends |
BK106c This is an amazing
set of Conifer Petrified Wood bookends from Arizona with a
very unique design. The set measures 11 1/4" wide x 9 3/4" tall x
2 1/4"

The outer edge "bark" area is truly exceptional! They have black felt on the inside and
bottom for surface protection. Just beautiful!
Total weight is 16 lbs. 6.6 oz. 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. |

Bird's Eye Rhyolite Bookends |
BK111b Here's a
great new item, an exceptional set of Bird's Eye Rhyolite bookends from
Mexico. They have a lovely Pink color with lots of neat "eyes". This large
set measures 9 5/8" wide x 5 3/4" tall x 2" and have a matt polish. Grab
this one quick!
The set weighs 6 lbs. 1.8 oz. Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic rock that is composed of Felsic, or Silicate minerals such as Silica, Aluminum, Sodium and Potassium. This material, also called Volcanic Tuft and Rainbow Rock actually began as volcanic ash spewed from the mouth of a volcano millions of years ago. This ash was exposed to heat and pressure that resulted in turning it to stone. The bright banded colors are a result of exposure to high concentrations of iron oxides. 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. |

Geisonoceras Bookends |

unique set of Black Geisonoceras bookends from Morocco. This
exceptional set measures 8 1/8" wide x nearly 6" tall x 2
