The process has started . . . . . .

Some of you may have figured out I am relocating by the other than Rock things showing up on the web site. The process has started, I have made four trips to Good Will, some lucky people are getting some cool stuff, and now I am packing.

I you live in the Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA area you might be interested in an enormous amount of black velvet gift boxes, various sizes, ring, pendant, necklace and a few bracelet boxes too. I haven't done the inventory yet however, if you are interested you can email me first. (millie.gotrocks (at) gmail.com)

The quantity and volume is just too much to ship, so somebody in my area is going to get about $350.00 worth of those black velvet gift boxes for $100.00.

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.

Loving Labradorite

Labradorite is truly a fascinatingly beautiful mineral. Its a mineral whose charm is not fully noticed and may be overlooked if not viewed from the proper position. Generally a dull, dark looking mineral with no special virtue until the colorful shiller is observed glowing on the surface. Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections called labradorescence. The usually intense colors range from the typical blues and violets through greens, yellows and oranges. Some rare specimens display all these colors simultaneously.


The color display is from lamellar intergrowths inside the crystal. These intergrowths result from compatible chemistries at high temperatures becoming incompatible at lower temperatures and thus a separating and layering of these two phases. The resulting color effect is caused by a ray of light entering a layer and being refracted back and forth by deeper layers. This refracted ray is slowed by the extra travel through the layers and mixes with other rays to produce a light ray coming out that has a different wavelength than when it went in. The wavelength could correspond to the wavelength of a particular color, such as blue. The effect depends on the thickness and orientation of the layers. If the layers are too thick or too thin no color shiller is seen. The labradorescence is truly a one of a kind mineralogical experience and must be observed in person in order to truly appreciate its beauty.
