Calcite is a Carbonate mineral that is most widely distributed on
the Earth's surface. It is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks
with Limestone in particular. A Calcite formation can take on many
different shapes and sizes which is dependent on the location, ground
water occurrence and temperature. Calcite is usually white or colorless
but can be gray, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown or black. The
deeper the color is usually indicative of the definitive impurities from
the earth or water. |

layers resulting in the banded or striped formation. |

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. |

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. |

strongly in ultraviolet light which may be due to the presence of some
impurities such as Yttrium. Blue is the most common color but red,
purple, green, yellow and white are also frequent. It can be used in
high performance telescopes, camera lens, enamels and in the making of

Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of Limestone but
mostly composed 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. |
