40-50mm Howlite was originally discovered in Canada by a geologist named Henry How which is where its name comes from. Howlite is formed in evaporate deposits with other borate and evaporate minerals. The outside of the mineral is not pleasant to the eye and is said to look like a head of cauliflower. However, when that is taken off, this beautiful mineral is found inside! This mineral is mainly found in Canada and the USA. ***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***

50mm - 60mm Selenite-also known as Satin Spar- is a chemical sedimentary mineral. Unlike carbonate rocks and siliceous rocks, this mineral comes from seawater that evaporates and leaves the chemical found in selenite behind. This beautiful mineral has a pearly, satin-like appearance and is a very soft mineral. These minerals can be found in Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and many other countries! ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

20mm Flower agate gets its name from the flower-like formations within the crystal's body. These crystals are volcanic rocks that are mainly composed of chalcedony and quartz. These crystals can vary in color; from pink to a dark grey/purple. Recently discovered in Madagascar, these crystals are believed to go back to 2000 BC. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 7cm Wide 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***

7cm - 8cm Rose Quartz is an anhedral crystal. It is found in the cores of pegmatites and gets its color from microscopic inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite . Rose Quartz is naturally a pink hue but can have more hues of grey/purple or red. This mineral can be found in many places including South Africa, Madagascar, and Brazil. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 7cm Dalmatian Jasper is made up of feldspars, quartz, alkali amphiboles, and small amounts of hematite and epidote. It gets its name from the neutral color body with the black spots (arfvedsonite). This stone is used in many homes all over the world as a decor item and some countries use this a lot in their jewelry. Dalmatian Jasper is found in Chihuahua, Mexico. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5cm - 6cm Rose Quartz is an anhedral crystal. It is found in the cores of pegmatites and gets its color from microscopic inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite . Rose Quartz is naturally a pink hue but can have more hues of grey/purple or red. This mineral can be found in many places including South Africa, Madagascar, and Brazil. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5cm - 6cm Lapis Lazuli is a semiprecious stone that is commonly used in jewelry and decor all over the world. It is a metamorphic mineral who's composition is variable. Very frequently, Lapis has Pyrite inclusions in it. This semiprecious stone gets its color from the deep blue Lazurite in it (also found in sodalite). Lapis is found in the mines Badakshan, northeastern Afghanistan, and those near Ovalle, Chile. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

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***

4cm - 5cm Labradorite is a type of feldspar that gets it's flashy colors from intergrowths within the mineral. Light then travels through these intergrowths and displays its beautiful colors. These colors can range from purples and blues to greens and yellows. This mineral gets its name from where it was originally discovered, in Labrador, Canada. This mineral was also found in Finland during WWII and was also known as "Falcon's Eye". ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 7cm Chocolate calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral. It gets its name from its milky, chocolately appearance that comes from the different hues and banding. This mineral is often referred to as brown aragonite as they are both very similar in composition. Chocolate calcite can be found in calcium-rich environments. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
