Green Beryl, it's Mintie

I purchased a fairly large lot of this Greenish Beryl in slab form. Although it isn't as "translucent:" as the fine Beryl costing hundreds of dollars it will make a fabulous piece of jewelry and rare too. You won't see
this any other place as far as I know; I've looked.
 
Priced at only $12.95

Aquamarine is characterized by a pure sky-blue, bluish-green, orgreenish-blue colour, very similar to the tint of sea-water; hence its name,
and the old saying that this stone when placed in the sea becomes invisible.
Aquamarine of a deep shade of colour is very rare; it is found, in small amount
and of a fine deep, sapphire-blue, at Royalston in Massachusetts, U.S.A. A
distinction is sometimes made between sky-blue beryl and beryl of a
greenish-blue or bluish-green colour, the former being considered as aquamarine
proper and the latter referred to as Siberian aquamarine. All pale bluish and
greenish beryls are, as a rule, however, included in the term aquamarine.

What's New: International Shipping!

Yes, all new: shipping worldwide. You will have to go to the new page Here for all the detail.


It will take a little extra effort in calculating the shipping charges since international charges are handled differently than my standard shipping policy.

 Canada, of course, still gets the same shipping as US orders and I'm quite happy with all my Canadian customers.

Agates


Agate is a type of chalcedony, usually at least slightly translucent and banded or with inclusions. It forms in concentric layers in a wide variety of colors and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock.


Many agates are hollow, and in such cases the center commonly consists of quartz crystals directed towards the free space, forming a crystal-lined cavity, or geode. A layer of very fine crystals is known as "Drusy" or "Druse". Often the Drusy will be the color of the mineral underneath.

Agate has a hardness of about 7 on the Moh's scale. The name is derived from its occurrence at the Achates River in southwestern Sicily.

In many traditions agate is believed to cure the stings of scorpions and the bites of snakes, soothe the mind, prevent contagion, quiet thunder and lightning, secure the favor of the powerful, and bring victory over enemies.

Metaphysical Properties: Agates in general are known for being lower intensity stones. They are considered stabilizing and strengthening influences.

Welcome to Girls Night Out




If you are interested in some awesome Lapis, Agates and others check out my web site at GotRocks4Sale. We add new stones about every week. Stones are from a private collection, hand picked quality and natural.

Making progress







It seems that the picture index method of locating stones is working. Sales have been pretty good considering it is a new site. Thanks to all of you for all the support and encouragement.

The next step is to create indexing of like stones. There are still so many pictures to take. Back to work!!
