3/4 pounds. It has good clarity, nice inclusions and subtle "rainbow"
reflections. There are several chips but still a nice piece.

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.

cracked but most will be approximately 3". They all have a sparkly white
inside and you will receive both halves. These are an overstock item.

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.

CL203c This
is a brand new but possibly defective MK-1503 Lapidary wet grinder. We
used to sell these grinders but at some point, Barranca/MKDiamond got a
batch that was approximately 50% bad....The bearings were going out
pre-maturely. Some however were fine and lasted a long time. Barranca/ML
Diamond found a new supplier and I got stuck with this machine. It may be
good, or it may be bad. Might me worth a gamble for someone. SOLD AS IS,
No Warranty.

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. |

This is a 2 wheel Poly Arbor. The 2 wheels on this arbor are silicon
carbide, one is 1.5" wide the other is 1". There is a shallow chip or two
on the wheels but nothing a wheel dressing stick won't take out. The wide
wheel looks like it's maybe 100 Grit wheel and the thinner maybe
180. Both measure approximately 9" but I believe a 10" wheel would fit in
this arbor. Bearings in both sides seem very tight. The arbor has holes
above the wheels for Water valves. There is tool rest on one side.
Needs a motor, some bottom trays and mounted on a base board and it would
make a very nice lapidary grinder or maybe just use as a tool sharpener.
SOLD AS IS NO WARRANTY.

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. |
