8.5cm - 9.5cm Tall Kiwi Jasper is a mix of amazonite, tourmaline, jasper, and quartz. It gets its name from the green tinge (amazonite) it has in addition to the green specks on it (tourmaline). This mineral is mainly found in New Zealand. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8.5cm - 9.5cm Tall Tiger's eye is a semiprecious stone that is formed when parallel veins of crocidolite fibers are first altered to iron oxides and then replaced by silica. As a result it is more opaque, and creates a rich yellow to brown color. Tiger Eye can be found in Australia, Burma, United States, Brazil, China, and many other countries. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

7.5cm - 8.5cm 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 - 11cm Tall Agate is a translucent form of microcrystalline quartz. These crystals form inside of igneous rocks over a long period of time and get their banding from years of siliceous groundwater building up in the cavities of these rocks. What makes this mineral so beautiful and unique is that the color variations and banding patterns are completely dependent on the environmental factors around them. This makes it so that every formation is different and there are no two formations that are the same! ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

9cm - 10.5cm 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***

6cm - 8cm Tall 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***

45mm Septarian concretions are concretions containing cavities or cracks, called septaria. The septaria are the calcite (yellow) filled cracks at the center of the rock, indicating where the center of the concretions have shrunk, possibly during dehydration during its transformative journey over a long period of time. Septarian can be found mostly in the Gulf of Mexico and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

55mm Rhodonite is a silicate mineral usually found in metamorphic rocks that are known to have other manganese minerals in them. The manganese is how Rhodonite gets its color. These beautiful minerals can be found in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and many other places. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

60mm Sodalite is a rare mineral formed inside igneous rocks crystalized as a result of sodium-rich magma. The blue color comes from the rock that Sodalite is formed in; nepheline syenite, trachyte, and phonolite. Although the sodalite-bearing rock is rare, it can most commonly be found in the US, Canada, and Africa. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
-
8cm Tall Pink opal is formed by bubbling water near volcanic ash. It dissolves the silica and forms in nodules from volcanic activity. Most specimens contain pink opal mixed with minerals such as rhyolite. These beautiful specimens are only found in Peru and Australia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
-
8cm Tall Prehnite is a pale green to gray, glassy silicate mineral that contains calcium and aluminum. This mineral commonly lines cavities in igneous rocks. It also occurs as stalactite masses. Prehnite is a secondary or hydrothermal mineral and is often associated with zeolites. Prehnite has been found in Italy, Germany, France, Scotland, and New Jersey in the United States. Tourmaline most commonly occurs as an accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Well formed crystals of tourmaline can form in cavities and fractures during hydrothermal activity. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

6.5cm Tall Caribbean calcite is a very new combination mineral that was recently found in 2019 in Pakistan. It's a combination of a very light ocean Blue Calcite and light brown and white aragonite. Although recently discovered, this mineral is not expected to stick around for long unless more deposits are found in other areas. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
