Spinel is the great impostor of gemstone history: many famous
rubies in crown jewels around the world are actually spinels. It may be
colorless, but is usually various shades of red, blue, green, yellow,
brown, or black. In Burma, where some of the most beautiful colours are
mined, spinel was recognised as a separate gem species as early as 1587.
In other countries the masquerade went on for hundreds of years. Spinels
were most often referred to as 'balas rubies', which may have referred
to their colour or their country of origin. |

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 give
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.

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.

This material is a new find from Madagascar. The deposit formed as
a rhyolite flow but has been completely silicified. The Rhyolitic eyes or
orbs come in an astonishing array of colors and color combinations. The
back ground can be white, pink, green, red, or yellow. Botryoidal formations
as well as white and deep green druzy are also common. This deposit has
been discovered at the edge of the ocean. It can only be seen and collected
at low tide. The area has no road so the material must be transported to
civilization by boat. This material is fast becoming a rarity in the
Jasper ocean fields, so get one while it is still available.

cordierite's strong pleochroism. It has also been called
"water-sapphire" and "Vikings' Compass" because of its usefulness in
determining the direction of the sun on overcast days, the Vikings
having used it for this purpose.
