Dioptase with Calcite Gemstone Carvings

Dioptase with Calcite Gemstone CarvingsDioptase crystals are emerald green and translucent. The mineral got its name from the Greek words for "to see" and "through" because of the ability to see internal cleavage planes of the small crystals. The mineral forms in rhombohedral crystals (usually less than 1cm in size) with a chemical composition of CuSiO3 (H2O).

it may very well have been that Neanderthal and Modern Man could have seen each other's camp fires between the Straight of Gibraltar

Each strand measures 15 inches in length

The very first stone tools were not created by humans

the distinctive pattern of the six-sided coral fossil emerges

Although most hair remains are orange in color

Quartz occurs in crystalline masses

Within the "Gemstone community" Zircon is not a commonly used stone

Crystalline Gold is purchased not for its spot market value but for its rarity

They are considered to be “living fossils” because of the great similarity between modern and fossil forms
