  • Agate is a micro crystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterized by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. This particular agate came from the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan. Specimen Dimension: approximately 4 cm.

  • A Synthetic quarts crystal that is lab grown.  This crystal will be cut into sections that will be manufactured into optical components and electrical quartz crystal oscillators. Quartz creates an electrical signal with a very precise frequency that is used to provide a stable clock signal to the rest of the circuit.

  • Libyan Desert Glass (sometimes referred to as Egypt or Egyptian Desert Glass) is a rare impact glass, similar to a tektite.  This specimen was found near the Libyan/Egyptian border. It is associated with an ancient meteorite impact, which occurred somewhere in the North African deserts. This specimen is translucent.  The collection of this  Desert Glass is now  prohibited by the Egyptian government.  Recent discoveries show that samples of desert glass were used in the Tutankhamun head dress.

  • Beach sand is placed in a blender to show the property of triboluminescence.   As the silica grains of sand are broken in the blender they give off blue light which in turn causes the sea shell fregments to glow yellow.  Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated when asymmetrical crystalline bonds in a material are broken when that material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed.
