Proud to present "zebra stones"

The unique Zebra Stone has been placed at 600 million years in the Upper Proterozoic era or Pre-Cambrian period. The only known deposits in the world have been discovered in the East Kimberleys, Western Australia.

The stone consists of a fine grained siliceous argillite (indurated siltstone or clay stone) with rhythmic patterns of red bands or spots contrasting sharply with a lighter background. It is not known how the regular patterns were formed, but the red stripes are colored by ferric (iron) oxide. Geologists have investigated Zebra Stone without producing any valid explanation of its origin. The stone's unsurpassed natural beauty typifies the color and spirit of Australia and some have said the stone has a special quality bringing luck. Most occurrences are now submerged beneath the dam waters of Lake Argyle. Since its discovery in 1924, it has been used widely as an ornamental stone.picture 1/. The first zebra stone was given to me by my mother ,she secretly pushed the stone in my hand and said: this one will bring you luck.picture 2/my collection.

The zebra stone is a jewel from a different kind i look at my collection often and love the mystery surrounding them,they feel so clean but robust and the patterns are so from another world ,I have fallen for this stone. picture from the web

Info on the zebra stone found at the world library.

Mona,
Thank you for stopping and leaving a comment at sixtyfivewhatnow.blogspot.com

Not everything we do will please everybody. I know you were curious and possibly miffed by the Rules. Let's say that you dropped in on older folks, like me, who have had different experiences and more appreciation for rules. May your life experiences be fun and purposeful.

Mona said...

Hello Delwyn How are you today?..I have heard that archeologist seek this stone and will have them if possible within there collection of rocks.
I am lucky to have this little collection of my own.

Mona said...

Mona said...

Mona said...

Well dear lake viewer ..I don't know about that, In my honest opinion you have gone to far and you need to step back a bit,becoming of age does not mean you have to be so stern.
You are lucky people are following you and obey "your" rules,it is up to you if you want to be like that,you know you can learn something from a younger generation as well ,I am telling you!

Aleks said...

Hi,

I'm spending my time here for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing my part for a non-profit organization that spends their time to
creating an oppurunity for the children in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They provide kids in Haiti books and teach them.

Please check them out, they're a real cause.

Anything would be appreciated
