GEMSTONE! I am afraid of my rock purchase. I purchased A big chunk of Tiger Eye like 5 pounds for 7 bucks and i washed and cleaned it was considering getting it polished, although i am a little afraid of it and something tells me to get rid of it. Apparently most tiger eye comes from Asbestos Mountains near Griquatown, South Africa. Should i be afraid of this rock? Why, why not. Should i be worried that while i washed it with a rag i rubbed it with my fingers a few times and orange came off. Im freaking out :/
They were a British heavy metal band. Quartz dates back to as early as 1974 when they were known as Bandy Legs. They signed to Jet Records in 1976 and supported Black Sabbath and AC/DC. The band changed their name to Quartz for their 1977 debut album, Quartz. The album was produced by Tony Iommi and Quartz toured with Black Sabbath to support this release. Queen guitarist Brian May handled guitar on Circles, which also features Ozzy Osbourne on backing vocals. This track did not appear on the album but would turn up as the b-side to the Stoking the Fires of Hell single. Quartz toured heavily during this time, playing the Reading Festival three times (1976, 1977 and 1980) and touring in support of some of the larger Hard rock bands of the time (Iron Maiden, Saxon, UFO and Rush). Quartz released their second studio album, Stand Up and Fight, in 1980 and their third, Against All Odds, in 1983 before calling it quits. In 1979 Geoff Nicholls left to join Black Sabbath. He contributed keyboards and songwriting from 1980s Heaven and Hell to 2004. In 2004, doom metal band, Orodruin covered Stand Up and Fight on their album Claw Tower.
