MORE INFORMATION

The Emperor stone or imperial jasper ( a word that is of Persian origin, but also connected with the Greek-Latin iaspis , "mottled stone") is a mono-mineralogical sedimentary rock , that is formed by a single mineral , composed of quartz (SiO ₂ ), and often containing some impurities, usually iron compounds that give the rock bright colors, making it sought after as a semi-precious stone for processing in factories .

The Paesina stone is mainly made up of compact limestone and clay , or marly limestone, and is almost exclusively typical of Tuscany . Geologically it originated about 50 million years ago ( Eocene - Paleocene ).

The name derives from the fact that this stone hides within it drawings that look like the work of a painter, but are absolutely natural, sometimes surprisingly simulating a landscape. The main extraction area has been around the city of Florence in Tuscany since 1500, where particular geological conditions have occurred.
There are no quarries or places dedicated to extraction and the findings are absolutely random, which determines their rarity. The peculiarity of the stone lies in the designs created by mineralized solutions in the presence of Iron and Manganese , which seem to reproduce ruined cities, stormy seas, inlets, rocks, volcanoes, mountains.

The use is purely artistic-collectible; it is cut into thin slabs then subjected to polishing. The Medici Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence has used it since 1588 . In France it was esteemed by Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin .

For quality, colors and realism, the best Paesina Stone comes only from the hills around the city of Florence , so much so that in the world it is sometimes referred to as "Pietra di Firenze".

The Paesina stone is striking for the chromatic contrast of its components, light gray for the limestone , reddish-brown for the iron oxides , black for the manganese and blue for the clay .

Amazonite (also called "Amazon stone") is a mineral , a green variety of microcline feldspar .

The name derives from the Amazon River , where green stones were found specifically in the jungle of Peru , but it is unlikely that there could be deposits of green feldspar in the Amazonian plain. More likely their presence on the river bed is due to the fluvial transport from the mountain deposits of origin.

According to Strabo and Pliny the Elder, the ancient Garamantes people of the Sahara mined amazonite in the Tibesti mountains.

The Amazonite it is a rare mineral. It is almost entirely extracted from the Miass area in the Ilmen mountains , 80 kilometers southwest of Chelyabinsk , Russia , within granite rocks. Recently, higher quality crystals have been found in the Pike's Peak area, Colorado , in association with quartz , orthoclase , and albite crystals within granites or pegmatites . Crystal Park, El Paso County, Colorado is also known for Amazonite crystals. Amazonite has also been found within pegmatite in Madagascar and Brazil .

Agate (from the Greek ἀχάτης, achátes) is a variety of chalcedony , a generic name given to quartz , when it occurs in compact masses of microcrystalline silica with a fibrous-oriented texture. Agate has a typical zoned structure which is visible even to the naked eye, thanks to the diversity of color. Botswana agate is a particular type of agate , its colors enchant and conquer. ... This variety of banded chalcedony has colors ranging from brown to orange and pink to gray. The stone is wrapped in its warm streaks that refer to its protective action.
