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.

Fiber optics, which is used in the communication fields for the
transmission of signals or transmission of light is man made from glass
fibers. This heart is made from this type of material, hence you can
actually see through them when looking in the direction in which light or
sound would travel and they create a cats eye effect when looking at it
from the side or across the direction of the fibers.

Stromatolites are one of the oldest bacterial microfossils known. The
Peruvian Stromatolites are from the lower Proterozic period some 2.3
billion years. They are from the Eastern Andes, Bolivia, South America.
Stromatolites are actually mounds of mud that have been preserved. Very
few will actually contain the fossilized microbes that built them. They
accumulate because blue- green algae produces a sticky film that catches
mud and silt, in turn forming layers. In time theses layer build up to
form mounds.

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.

Chrysocolla is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones
of copper ore. Some associated minerals are Quartz, Limonite, Azurite, and
Malachite and Chrysocolla is often confused with Turquoise as they are
similar in color. It gets it's name from Greek chrysos "gold" and kolla
"glue". It is known among Native American cultures as a healing stone and
said to promote calm and level headedness. |

Lepidolite is a lilac-grey or rose-colored member of the Mica group
that is a secondary source of Lithium. It is one of the major sources of
the rare alkali metals Rubidium and Caesium. Lepidolite occurs in Granite
pegmatites, in some high temperature Quartz veins.
