The chalk formed from fine limy mud on the floor of a Late Cretaceous sea that once covered the middle of North America, and it is famous for its marine fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eConcretions grow inside the sediment, and pop rocks are most common in the lower third of the chalk. Some formed around a bit of shell or other debris. They start out as pyrite or marcasite (both iron sulfide, FeS2), and once exposed they weather to a rusty rind of limonite (goethite-rich iron oxide), sometimes with yellow jarosite; some crumble over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Smoky Hill Chalk is exposed in Gove County along the Smoky Hill River, Hackberry Creek and their side streams, where erosion has carved the chalk into bluffs and badlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese pieces are rounded nodules with a rusty to metallic surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn crystal traditions, these stones are associated with grounding and with the chakras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: FeS2 (pyrite\/marcasite core); FeO(OH) (goethite\/limonite rind)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Root\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 16mm x 19mm x 14mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 10g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 27mm x 23mm x 13mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 20g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 38mm x 35mm x 32mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 100g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eX-Large\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 53mm x 50mm x 47mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight for 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 250g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
