from the middle Miocene around 12-16 million years ago

and branches that died under conditions that favor fossilization gradually become replaced with minerals until what remains is a replica of the original piece of wood consisting entirely of mineral material

highly variable Chalcedony spheres are almost geode-like in appearance and one can clearly see the process of geode or agate formation in progress in each specimen

reminiscent of the famed logo of Mercedez Benz

Diamond Calcite on Limonite Selenite It is found in manySo called diamond Calcite is named for its diamond like shape and exceptional sparkle.
