RASPBERRY 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.
Polished on one side, a beautiful sparkle!

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!

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.
