Description

This is an eye catching, multiple layered "sandwich" selenite specimen collected from the Lubin Mine in Poland. The selenite displays a coloration that ranges between red, orange and colorless, dependent on conditions and composition of minerals present during formation. 

Selenite is a variety of gypsum, a soft sulfate mineral that is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 · H2O). When chemically pure, gypsum is transparent and colorless, however, impurities give the gypsum a diverse range of colors and formations. Desert rose, selenite and satin spar are just a few of the varieties of gypsum known to have formed though hydrothermal processes.

Marine Wildlife Tour

Here, on the extreme western edge of the primeval Tongass National Forest, stretches the mighty Gulf of Alaska and the nutrient-rich waters of Sitka Sound. This is an amazing place...one that is literally teeming with wildlife!  Whales, sea lions, seals, sea otters, porpoises and fish, as well as puffins, murrelets, eagles, brown bears and much more are our closest neighbors. Those interested in truly wild places and in photographing, listing, or simply experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of wildlife will be absolutely delighted with our trips. Three and four-hour excursions, as well as other more extensive trips, are available. Join us for up close and personal whale watching and bird watching. On our four-hour trips we routinely visit Saint Lazaria Island National Wildlife Refuge, the "center of the universe”, in my mind!  Here we immerse ourselves amongst incredible congregations of seabirds, as well as birds of prey, colorful inter-tidal organisms and marine mammals all in the setting of a dramatic volcanic island, steadfast, at the edge of the wide pacific and in the shadow of majestic Mount Edgecumbe. For those who love the natural world, especially bird watching, Saint Lazaria Island, with its surrounds, is a pinnacle of perfection!
