6.75cm Wide Fluorite is composed of fluorine and calcium and is formed in hydrothermal veins in the Earth's crust. This mineral can be found in all colors of the rainbow with different hues. The different colors in Fluorite are caused by impurities within the mineral. The deeper colors are found in well-formed crystals. Fluorite was originally discovered in Illinois in 1842 but is no longer mined in the US. It can be found in China, South Africa, Mongolia, France, and Russia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5cm Wide 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***

6cm Wide Moss agate is a semi-precious stone. It is a variety of Chalcedony and it formed from silicon dioxide. The field of this stone is a milky white or clear quartz with blue and green inclusions that form as a result of oxides in the mineral. The dendritic inclusions are mainly made from manganese or iron that grow into patterns to give it the moss look. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

8.5cm Tall Jasper is an opaque and impure variety of silicon dioxide. The name 'jasper' originates from the Greek word for 'spotted stone' which refers to its typical multi-colored, striped, spotted or flamed appearance. Jasper can come in just about any color depending on the sediments of the original mineral. This mineral is mostly found in India, Russia, Egypt, Madagascar, and Australia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

8cm - 9cm 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***

7.5cm Tall Dream amethyst (also known as Chevron Amethyst) is a natural mineral formed when amethyst and white quartz fuse together while cooling down off after a volcanic eruption. The amethyst that fuses to the white quartz creates the chevron-like shapes in the crystals. The main areas Dream Amethyst can be found is Brazil, Namibia, and Morocco. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

4.5cm x 4cm x 2.5cm 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***

5cm Wide 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***

5cm Tall Carnelian is a part of the Chalcedony family. It is formed when two silica minerals with different crystal structures grow together such as quartz and moganite. The firey orange and red colors come from iron oxides in the mineral. Carnelian can be found in Brazil, India, and Uruguay. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
