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.

intensely color matrix usually blue or violet, and more rare, green.

Street Jade, this beautiful workable stone is really from the serpentine
family of minerals. The serpentine group consists of four species with the
same composition but different properties: antigorite, chrysotile,
clinochrysotile and lizardite. Bowenite is a variety of antigorite and is
one of the more popular for carving and is usually called New Jade. being
somewhat softer and less expensive in its natural state than Jade.

This is a Shungite pyramid measuring 2 1/4" square x nearly 1 3/8"
tall. This pyramid is super nice and makes a lovely display.
This is a similar to like item.
The term "shungite" was originally used in 1879 to describe a
mineraloid with more than 98 percent carbon. More recently the term has
also been used to describe shungite-bearing rocks, leading to some
confusion. Shungite has to date mainly been found in Russia. Shungite has
been used in medical treatment since the early 18th-century. "Peter the
Great" set up Russia's first spa to utilize the water purifying properties
of shungite and instigated its use in providing purified water for the
Russian army. The anti-bacterial properties of shungite have been
confirmed by modern testing.

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but mostly
composed of Calcite. It is used extensively for sculpture, building
material 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. |

Calcite is a Carbonate mineral that is most widely distributed on the
Earth's surface. It is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks with
Limestone in particular. A Calcite formation can take on many different
shapes and sizes which is dependent on the location, ground water
occurrence and temperature. Calcite is usually white or colorless but can
be gray, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown or black. The deeper the
color is usually indicative of the definitive impurities from the earth or
water.

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. |

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.

Prehnite is a Phyllosilicate mixture of Calcium and Aluminum.
Although it is not a Zeolite, it is often associated with them and with
Datolite and Calcite, in veins and cavities of Basaltic rocks, sometimes
in Granites, Syenites or Gneisses. The color varies from light green to
grey to white to yellow or a mix of colors. It is translucent and was
named after it's discoverer, Colonel Hendrik von Prehn.
