Fish Fossil - Syngnathus sp. (Pipefish) Amber highly variable Chalcedony spheres or

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

from the Cambrian age

Aquamarine has a hexagonal crystal structure and is highly prismatic

and is one of the more common gems although pieces of exceptional hue and clarity are considered fairly rare and can be extremely valuable

Fish Fossil - Syngnathus sp. (Pipefish) Amber highly variable Chalcedony spheres orPipefish are a widespread group of tropical marine and freshwater fish most closely related to the more well known seahorses. Their unique elongated and heavily armored bodies along with their tube like snouts make pipefish, both extinct and modern, almost unmistakable for any other species. These well preserved and larger sized fossils originate from the Monterey Formation in California, from the middle Miocene around 12 16 million years ago. Each
