PEACOCK ORE
"Chalcopyrite"
(from the Greek: “chalko” meaning “copper“ and pyrite (fool’s
gold) means “strike fire”)(CuFeS2), it is copper iron sulfide. This
lovely iridescent rock is mined in Mexico. The color is caused from the
copper tarnishing purple, blue and red.

| FLUORITE
GEM SPECIMENS
New Mexico
Fluorite (also called fluorpar) is a
mineral composed of calcium fluoride, CaF2. The beautiful BLUE and GREEN
colors of fluorite come from the Blanchard Mine, Portales Tunnel, Bingham,
Socorro County, New Mexico. Some specimens fluoresce
under ultra-violet
light, a property that takes its name from fluorite. The fluorescence
may be due to impurities such as yttrium
or organic matter in the crystal lattice. It also exhibits the
property of thermoluminescence!

LEPIDOLITE
New Mexico
Lepidolite (KLi2Al(Al,Si)3O10(F,OH)2)
is a lilac or rose-violet colored phyllosilicate mineral of the mica group
that is a secondary source of lithium
Lepidolite is an
uncommon mica and has only in the past decade become available on the
mineral market in large quantities. Lepidolite is an ore of lithium and
forms in granitic masses. The typical violet to pink color of lepidolite is
characteristic. Like other micas, has a layered structure of lithium
aluminum silicate sheets weakly bonded together by layers of potassium ions.
These potassium ion layers produce the perfect cleavage. Single large plates
or "books" of lepidolite can have appealing violet color and make
attractive mineral specimens. |

| BUBBLE ROCK |
 |
#R-675. Bubble Rock! - the rock that
grows! (Utah) Immersing it in vinegar causes a white crystal
formation to grow. Hardens upon contact with air. We tried it - it's
cool! Crystal very hard and stays stuck to rock for a permanent
display. Averages 2"
across. Great science project! |
$8.00 |
CARBORUNDUM
(silicium
carbide) This manmade abrasive displays a lovely sparkly iridescence. It happens when
quartz sand and carbon, with the absence of oxygen, is exposed to 2200 degrees C
where it transforms quartz into a gas that penetrates the carbon and produces
this abrasive rock used for cutting or just collecting!

None for sale at this time.

| APACHE
TEARS
Made of obsidian, a natural glass
formed during volcanic eruptions. If you are given one by a friend,
it is bad luck to give it away.
Here's the Apache Native-American Legend:
"One day a party of Apache
Indians was ambushed by an enemy tribe. The Apaches fought bravely but
were greatly outnumbered and were driven to the top of a very high
mountain. Their arrows were gone, and they could fight no longer.
Refusing to be taken captive, they leaped, as one, from the cliffs to the rocks
below. The Apache women, grief-stricken over the death of their brave
warriors, shed torrents of tears. The tears became petrified and turned to
stone. " Apache tears are actually small pieces of obsidian or volcanic
glass. When held in the palm of your hand, the stone appears to be
black. When held to the light, you can see through the stone.
