$12.50 C302c  Here is a very sweet, really pretty light Pink Rose Quartz Angel.  She measures 1 3/4" x 1" and has a nice polish.  She is carved holding her hands but has no facial features.  A great pocket piece for yourself or a gift for another.

Rose Quartz is a type of Quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue.  The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of Titanium, Iron or Manganese, in the massive material.  Some Rose Quartz contains microscopic Rutile needles which produce an asterism in transmitted light.

$15.50 C21c  This is a beautifully carved Tiger Eye Horse.  It measures 2" in length by 1 1/2" in width.

Tiger-Eye is a gemstone that is usually yellow to red-brown in color with a silky luster.  This gemstone has an optical reflectance effect that arises from the fibrous structure of the material.  The physical and optical properties are identical or very near to those of a single Quartz Crystal.

$22.00 C300c  This is a carved Elephant made from Malachite.  It measures 2 1/2" x 2 1/4" and has a nice polish.  A very neat, different carving for your collection.  Item will be similar to item in photo.

Malachite is a Copper Carbonate mineral.  It most often forms botryoidal, fibrous or stalagmitic masses.  It is often the result of the weathering of Copper Ores and is usually found with Azurite, Goethite and Calcite.  It has a vibrant green color and each specimen has its own unique design.  Although Malachite is consider toxic, when ingested,  in the rough, natural form, it is safe to handle in its polished state.

$14.50 C305c  Here is a very nice, very beautiful Big Horn Sheep Ram carved from Picture Jasper.  He measures 1 1/2" x 2" with a nice polish.  Jasper is a unpredictable, very beautiful gemstone that is sure to please just about anyone.  Big Horn Sheep are native to the Black Hills in South Dakota.  If you can visit to see one, then you can purchase one from the gift department.

Jasper is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is usually red, yellow or brown in color.  Jasper can appear as an opaque rock with shades of red due to mineral impurities.  Patterns can arise from the formation process and flow patterns in the sediment or volcanic ash that was saturated with silica which formed the banding or swirling designs in the rock.

$14.50 C307b  This is a beautiful Elephant carved from Dalmatian Stone.  He measures 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" with a good polish.  He has a good design and color scheme. 

Jasper, or spotted stone, is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is usually red, yellow or brown in color.  Picture Jaspers simultaneously exhibit several variants such as banding, flow patterns, dendrites or color variations.  This results in what appears to be scenes or images in a cut section of the Jasper.

$12.50 C306b  Here is a real neat, two-tone Turtle made from Unakite and Peach Aventurine.  He measures 1 3/4" x 3/4" and has a nice polish.

Unakite is an altered Granite composed of pink Feldspar, green Epidote and clear Quartz.  It exists in various shades of green and pink and is usually mottled in appearance.  Good quality Unakite is considered a semiprecious stone and will take a good polish and is often used in jewelry and other lapidary work such as eggs, spheres and carvings.

Aventurine is a form of Quartz that is characterized by its translucent and mineral inclusions that give it a shimmering or glistening effect called "aventurescence".  The most common color is green but it may also be orange, brown, yellow, blue or grey.

$12.50 C308b  Here is a very cute pig carved from Dalmatian stone.  He measures 1 1/2" x 1" with a nice polish.  This would make a great pocket "pal" or addition to your collection.

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.

$12.50 C311b  This is a nice carved Rabbit made from Pink, White and Grey Rhodenite.  She measures 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" and has a nice polish.  This Rabbit is a super cute carving that would add to any collection.

Rhodenite is a Manganese Silicate material that is commonly a rose-red color with a tendency to turn brown due to surface oxidation.  It is often worked as an ornamental stone as true Crystals are rare to find.

$12.50 C312b   This is a nice gemstone carving of a Brontosaurus made from White Fiber Optics.  It measures approximately 1" x 2 1/4" and has a nice polish.  This really cute guy has a very unique design and color mix.

Fiber Optics are used in information transmission lines for our telephones, cable television and computers.  This material is pure Silica which can aid in the transmission of signals at great distances.  Fiber Optics have an interesting characteristic in that you can see thru the object in the direction that signals would pass through.  This is usually well enough to read print when it is laid on a newspaper.  This is similar to the eye or radiance you see in natural Tiger-Eye stone.

C304b  Here is a very nice, very pretty Dog carved from Opalite.  He measures 2 1/8" in height and 1 3/8" in width and has a very nice opalescent shine and color.

Opalite is a trade name for a man-made precious opal imitation.  It is usually made of glass or resin.  Man-made or not, it is definitely a beautiful "gem stone" and one of my personal favorites.
