4cm - 5cm Amazonite is a type of feldspar that gets its name from the Amazon River. Geologists once thought the color came from the oxides that come off of copper. In recent studies, geologists suggest this stone gets its color from the lead and water contents that are found within its contents. Originally found in Brazil, these beautiful rocks can also be found in Madagascar. There have also been findings of this crystal in Colorado, United States. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6 x 5 x 6cm Clear quartz is made of Silicon dioxide and is one of Earth's hardest minerals on the Moh's hardness scale. It is found mixed in many types of minerals and also in bedrock, sand, and gravel. Quartz is naturally clear and opaque but can be found in many other colors. This mineral Earth's most abundant crystal and can be found in many different places but mostly in the Alps, Madagascar, and Brazil. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

60mm - 70mm Calcite is a mineral when originally formed is colorless and opaque and can come in many different forms of translucency. It gets its beautiful colors and banding from impurities in the rocks the specimen is formed in. Calcite gets its name from the water within the mineral being rich in calcium. This soft mineral can be found all over the world; mainly in shallow marine settings such as hydrothermal veins and hot spring deposits. Many marine life species, such as crabs and coral, rely on calcite to form their shells. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

11 x 2 x 11cm Black moonstone is a silicate gemstone and is famous for its shimmering effect when moved in sunlight. It is believed that these stones resemble the moon when they show their shimmer. Most of the black moonstones have swirls and lines of tan, gray, and peach. Moonstones come in a variety of colors; black, pink, green, white, brown, and grey. This mineral was originally discovered in Madagascar but can also be found in Armenia, Australia, Mexico, and many other countries. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5.5cm Wide Obsidian, igneous rocks occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. Obsidian is about 65 to 80 percent silica and less than 1 percent water. This glass-like mineral is harder than window glass! Black obsidian is typically black but can have red inclusions due to iron and hematite. Gas bubbles can also get trapped inside this mineral and create either a gold or silver sheen beneath the surface. Obsidian is mainly found near the west coast of the United States including Hawaii and Alaska. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8cm Tall Tourmaline is a complex family of minerals composed of aluminum borosilicate mixed with magnesium, iron or other metals. Tourmaline can come in a variety of colors depending on its proportion of these components. These colors are red, pink, yellow, brown, green, blue, black, or violet colors. This mineral can be found mainly in Brazil and many parts of Africa. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

10cm Tall Bloodstone is formed, like many other minerals, when molten rock rises to the Earth's surface and cools. Then as gasses escape and settle on the rock's surface, it leaves little pockets on the surface of the mineral. The green color in Bloodstone comes from Chlorite and Amphibole. The red spots are iron oxide deposits where the gasses rose. Most Bloodstone is found in India, Australia, Brazil, and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

19cm x 8cm x 7cm Cactus quartz is a rare specimen that can only be found in the Magaliesberg Mountains in South Africa. Its color can range from a yellow hue (as pictured) to a purple hue. Cactus quartz is formed when a second generation of quartz points form on top of the original crystal points.
