Nephrite Jade
| |||||||||
Nephrite can be found in a translucent white to very light yellow form which is known in China as mutton fat jade,[1] in an opaque white to very light brown or gray which is known as chicken bone jade,[1] as well as in a variety of green colours. Canada is the principal source of modern lapidary nephrite. Nephrite jade was used mostly in pre-1800 China as well as in New Zealand, the Pacific Coast and Atlantic Coasts of North America, Neolithic Europe, and southeast Asia.Indonesia
Rough Fosil Coral

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
It is important that people
understand "fossil coral" is a natural stone formed from ancient corals.
It should not be mistaken for protected and endangered coral reef from
the modern oceans of today. Of the varieties of fossilized corals found
throughout the geologic record, exquisitely detailed specimens from
the mountains of Indonesia are most unique and beautiful. Corals have
been growing in the oceans around the world for almost 500 million
years. The corals thrived in warm shallow marine waters and over time
were buried in sediments as the land surface was juggled by crustal
plate movements or the oceans rose and fell. Temperature and pressure
from compaction during burial, resulted in those deposits, in time,
becoming rock and part of the present day geological record. Decorative
coraline limestone and marble are popular building materials and have
been used for centuries.For many years, ancient coral deposits have been
mined for their high quality calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium
content which is used in health supplements. Fossil coral has also been
used in fertilizers. Fossil coral has even been used in filters to
remove impurities such as chlorine and formaldehyde from water. Ornate
coral pieces are also sought by fossil collectors or used in beads and
other jewelry. Silurian age (390 million year old) horn corals from
Utah (FIGURE 1) are prized for fine definition and brilliant red
color. Geodes formed by partial replacement or casts of coral heads by
low temperature chalcedonic or opaline silica are found in Florida.
Florida has even declared fossil coral to be the "Florida State Rock".
The shapes and colors of these specimens from the Tampa Bay region, in
north Florida and southern Georgia are unique. They are associated with
Tertiary rock formations of 20 to 25 million years in age.
Blue Amber indonesian
Amber is fossilized tree resin (not sap), which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times.[2] Much valued from antiquity to the present as a gemstone, amber is made into a variety of decorative objects.[3] Amber is used as an ingredient in perfumes, as a healing agent in folk medicine, and as jewelry.
There are five classes of amber, defined on the basis of their chemical constituents. Because it originates as a soft, sticky tree resin, amber sometimes contains animal and plant material as inclusions. Amber occurring in coal seams is also called resinite, and the term ambrite is applied to that found specifically within New Zealand ,Indonesia coal seams
