10 Unpolished Mineral Specimens measuring 1 - 2 inches in length on the longest side. Sometimes known as arenite, Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Specifically, a clastic sedimentary rock, as it is composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing materials. In this case, sand-sized grains of rocks and/or minerals. It features Liesengang banding, or rings, which are colored bands that are distinguishable from other structures by their concentric, or ring-like, appearance. Sandstone is fairly porous, which not only allows water and other fluids to filter through it, but it can also store large quantities of those fluids. This makes them extremely valuable as aquifers and petroleum reservoirs. It can vary in color, much like sand, though some of the most commonly found colors are tan, brown, yellow, red, grey, pink, white, and black. The color of the sandstone can help identify what region it may have come from. Origin: WY

Pegmatite is a holocrystalline (completely crystalline), intrusive igneous rock. With a basic composition similar to that of granite, Pegmatite tends to be composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is made of interlocking phaneritic crystals that are typically bigger than 2.5cm (or 1 inch) in size. Those crystals are the most striking feature of pegmatites is their crystals, with individual ones having been found at over 10 meters in length. It is of economic importance, due to often containing rare earth minerals such as tin and tungsten, and gemstones like aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz, fluorite, apatite and corundum. Origin: CO, SD

10 Unpolished Mineral Specimens. Each rock or mineral specimen measures approximately 1-2 inches in length along its longest side, and can vary in color from grey to a dark pink. An igneous volcanic rock that is rich in silica, Rhyolite is known to have a texture that ranges from glassy all the way to porphyritic. This sample of Rhyolite is porphyritic, meaning that at least one group of crystals is distinctly bigger than others that are present. It is also extrusive, which is to say that the magma from which it was formed reached the surface of the Earth, either flowing out (extruding) to the surface, or exploding violently into the open air. It is considered to be the extrusive equivalent to granite, in part due to the resemblance that the can share. Rhyolite is related to obsidian, in that the difference lays primarily in how fast they were cooled. When cooled too quickly, the crystals form into a type of natural glass, known as obsidian. When it cools at a slower rate, microscopic crystals are allowed to form, allowing Rhyolite to occur. Origin: CO

10 Unpolished Rock Specimens. Each rock or mineral specimen measures approximately 1-2 inches in length along its longest side. A chief ore of zinc, in typically consists of zinc sulfide in a crystalline form, with a variable form of iron. Sphalerite has also been referred to by miners as zinc blende, black-jack, and ruby jack. It can be found in the colors of brown, yellow, red, green, and black. The iron content of the sphalerite is a determining factor in its coloring, darkening it as the content increases. Sphalerite specimens found in a large size with suitable transparency have found a use as gemstones, though due to their soft and fragile nature they are typically left unset, and used as a collector's or museum piece.

Pack of 3. Each rock or mineral specimen measures approximately 1-2 inches in length along its longest side. Commonly distributed, Gneiss is created by the high-grade metamorphic processes from pre-existing rock formations that started out as either igneous or sedimentary rocks. Typically, gneiss is foliated, or composed of layers, with alternating light and dark colored bands, called "gneissic banding". Unlike a lot of names, gneiss actually comes from Middle High German verb gneist, rather than Latin, and means "to spark", due to its glittering nature. Origin: WY, CO, UT

Copper is considered a mineral of energy and mental agility. In legend, copper is said to be the metal of the God Hermes, who facilitates mental agility, and quick wit. Copper is an excellent conductor of energy, from electricity to the mystical subtle energies emanating from higher planes, etc. Thus, copper is said to enhance and transmit thoughts, even over long distances. Copper though a necessarily micronutrient can cause copper toxicity in large amounts. I suggest using the indirect method of creating gem elixirs with this stone. Copper is used in traditional folk remedies and crystal healing lore to bring in additional energies for all types of healing, treatment of arthritis, relieving the pain of broken bones, sexual instability, and low energy. Please note that healing crystal meanings are spiritual supports to healing and are not prescriptions or healthcare information.
In the realm of gemstones and minerals, manganese is a wonderful element as it contributes to the formation of a large number of attractive and colorful stones. Manganese can impart pink to purple colors in minerals and is responsible for the beautiful hues of gems like rhodonite and rhodochrosite, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.Notably, in metaphysical circles, manganese is often associated with grounding and balance. It is believed to imbue its wearer with a sense of calm, confidence, and strength, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. Manganese Pocket Stone Specimen Quantity: 1 piece Size: Please refer to Jason's 7/23/23 video on Facebook Live!
