www.tmwmedia.com The third classification of rocks are those which were formed deep in the earth's crust by melting and then recrystallization. These rocks include volcanic rocks, igneous rocks of dykes and sills and plutonic rocks such as granite, syenite, gabbro and ultramafic rocks. Many specimens are discussed that are not often found in classroom labs or textbooks. Watch an excerpt from this fascinating and informative video from TMW Media.

Basalt Fountain by Igneous Rock Gallery
Basalt Fountain by Igneous Rock Gallery
Igneous Rock Gallery (www.igneousrockgallery.com) basalt fountains are artistically designed using the best quality lava rock on planet earth. Whether you choose an indoor or outdoor setting, your Igneous Rock Gallery basalt fountain will offer a visually stunning focal point and a scientifically fascinating conversation piece. Basalt is typically charcoal or brownish grey, and not very attractive. However, our source is mining 40 million year old multi colored basalt columns that are uniquely sized to create our one of a kind stone fountains. A single column may host an array of colors from eggplant purple to champagne yellow, from peach salmon to flecks of pearl blue. Uplighting illuminates water that burbles down each ancient rock's natural form. The dancing shadows and flickering glow combine with the comforting sound to lower your blood pressure and help you decompress.

Igneous Rock Gallery Display, 2010 Valley Forge Home Show
Having just participated in the 2010 Philadelphia International Flower Show we decided to scale down our display size at the Valley Forge Show. Still we managed to fit a lot into our 10x10 space. In addition to our feature fountain, a 15 fount combination of Okanagan Highland quarry block and individual columns, we also showed a smaller dry fountain kit, including basin, pump, manifold, lighting, etc., a table top fountain, a pedestal fountain (which we mounted on a table due to space contraints, our low voltage lighting columns, table lamp and our candleholders. We had a continous slide show playing on the 52" plasma and a 26" flat screen monitor connected to my laptop in order to show individual picture files or our web site. Our neighbor in the next booth was selling steam irons, which gave my cousin and Igneous Rock Gallery salesman extraordinaire Jim Turner a very cool idea. He suggested we buy a steam iron and hide it behind the large quarry blocks in our display to create the illusion of steaming volcanic sulfur. It worked great just long enough to shoot a couple videos before it overloaded the circuit and shut down all our power!

Porphyry is a variety of igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals, such as feldspar or quartz, dispersed in a fine-grained feldspathic matrix or groundmass. The larger crystals are called phenocrysts. In its non-geologic, traditional use, the term "porphyry" refers to the purple-red form of this stone, valued for its appearance.
