Here is something different from the Rock Shed's gift department.
This is a very nice, above average quality Sandstone Tea Light candleholder.
It measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" x 2" and has a natural, rough exterior.
The holder has a unique blend of color and design making it one our all-time
favorites. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed
mainly of sand size mineral or rock grains. Most Sandstone is composed
of Quartz and/or Feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the
earth's crust. It can be almost any color. The Sandstone beds
often form highly visible cliffs and are strongly identified with certain
regions of the world.

Selenite is a Crystalline variety of Gypsum. It is often transparent
and colorless. If the Selenite Crystals show translucency, opacity and/or
color, it is caused by the presence of other minerals and many be "druzy".
Selenite often appears to have a "cat's eye" appearance especially with the
polished variety. It will often magnify images when the translucency
is very clear.

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. |

process when formed, Rhyolite did not form any crystals, thus changing the
texture of the material.

Onyx is a banded variety of Chalcedony which in turn is a form of
Quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color
except shades of purple, blue and black. It is used for vases, bowls,
beads, cabochons and other items. The name has sometimes been used
incorrectly to label other banded lapidary materials, such as banded
Calcite. This type is found in Mexico and Pakistan and is often carved,
polished and sold. The material is much softer than true Onyx and much
more readily available
