Quartz is a mineral that is formed in two different ways; as magma is cooled from a very high temperature and when silica-rich water is cooled from a very high temperature. When formed, quartz is transparent and clear. Different inclusions and colors are present depending on the environment that the quartz is formed in. Quartz can be found all over the world but mainly in the Alps, Brazil, and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

3cm Wide Aragonite is a carbonate mineral that is made up of calcium carbonate. It has the same formula as Calcite, but has a different crystal structure. Most aragonite is made up of hexagonal structures and is found in clusters. Aragonite can be white, colorless, gray, yellow, green, blue, red, purple or brown and is found in oxidized areas of ore deposits, hot spring deposits and caves. It is also found in some metamorphic and igneous rocks depending on location. Gem-quality Aragonite is mostly found in Germany and Austria but can also be found in Czechoslovakia, Sicily, Greece, Spain, and Japan. ***Due to natural variations in stones, 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.
