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

Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from the recrystallization of pre-existing rocks due to changes in heat and/or pressure and/or introduction of fluids without melting.  It is composed mostly of Limestone and Calcite.  Marble is used extensively for sculpture, building materials and other applications.  Picasso Marble is found in Utah and is identifiable by its striking and dramatic combination of browns, blacks, grays and white colors and each piece is uniquely different.

Selenite, also known as Satin Spar, Desert Rose and Gypsum Flower, are the four Crystalline varieties of Gypsum.  It is a very soft material composed of Calcium Sulfate.  Selenite is often transparent and colorless.  If color is present it is often due to impurities or presence of other minerals.

Ammonites are an extinct group of marine animals of the subclass Ammonoida in the class Cephalopoda, phylum Mollusca.  They are excellent index fossils which are fossils that are used to define and identify geologic periods.  Ammonites' closest living relative is probably not the modern Nautilus (which they outwardly resemble) but rather the subclass Coleodiea, which are octopus, squid and cuttlefish.

Rose Quartz is a type of Quartz which exhibits a pale pink to a rose red hue.  The color is usually due to its trace amounts of Titanium, Iron or Manganese.  Sometimes it will contain microscopic Rutile needles which produce an asterism in transmitted light.  It is rarely found in Crystal form.  It is not very popular as a faceted gem because the stones are always cloudy, the pink color is often too pale and most Rose Quartz gems have large flaws.

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but composed mostly of Calcite.  It is used extensively for sculpture, building materials 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.  This type of Marble will often have small animal like creature fossils throughout the matrix or media.

Ocean Jasper is a variety of Jasper which contains variable colored orbicules or spherical inclusions.  The material is quite attractive when polished and is used as an ornamental stone or gemstone.  The colors and designs range widely and are dependant on the location of the material.  Similar material can be found in several areas of the United States.

Septarian, also know as a type of Concretion, is a volume of sedimentary rock in which a mineral cement fills the porosity.  Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape.  They form within layers of sedimentary strata that has already been deposited.  It is composed of a Carbonate mineral such as Calcite, a Silica such as Chert, Flint or Jasper or an Iron Oxide such as Goethite or Hematite.  It is commonly found in Shale, Siltstones and Sandstones.

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.
