Item #P111 We specialize in beautiful and unique pewter mine scenes. You won't find better mine scenes made anywhere. The mine scenes are made in America, using lead-free pewter. The rocks on the inside of the mine scenes are blue/purple chalcopyrite (Peacock Ore).The gold veins are made from pyrite (also known as Fool's Gold). All the mine scenes have an acrylic base so they won't scratch any surface. Agate is a variety of quartz. Quartz is one of the most common substances found in the earth's crust, yet it can form in so manybeautiful ways. Agate is a special form of quartz called chalcedony, which forms in veins and geodes in unique colors, and oftenin layers called banding. Agates are found all over the world, but Brazil is the main source of most of the agate geodes and slicesthat you see.
