If your birthday is in February, you are probably familiar with this beautiful crystal. Amethyst is made mainly of quartz. Their purple color comes from its aluminum and iron properties and can range from pink to a dark purple. This popular gemstone originated in ancient Greek times. Now, higher quality amethyst is mainly found in Brazil and Uruguay but can be found all over the world, including the United States. Hematite is an iron oxide that is formed through various geological processes including weathering, sedimentation, metamorphism, and hydrothermal activity. The red color in this variation of hematite comes from white light interacting with irregular hematite particles.

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.

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".

Sale!5 x 2 x 6cm 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***

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.

Firework Stone - or Astrophyllite is a rare titanium mineral that's dark in color and often contains sparkling inclusion. There are often garnet and/or arfvedsonite inclusions in them. The iridescence in them come from the Astrophyllite in them. These moody stones can be found in Brazil, Botswana, and India.
-
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. *All spheres come with a free stand*

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.

Lapis lazuli forms near igneous interferances where limestone or marble has been altered by contact metamorphism or hydrothermal metamorphism. In these rocks, lazurite replaces portions of the host rock and often develops within certain bands or layers which can include other minerals such as pyrite and white calcite. Lapis Lazuli is mostly found in Afghanistan but can also be found in Chile, Russia, Canada, Argentina, Pakistan, and the US. Within the US, these stones can be found in Colorado, California, and Arizona.
-
Maligano Jasper is formed from volcanic activity and is exclusively sourced from the island Sulawesi which is located in Indonesia. Like a lot of other jaspers, it is formed when a bunch of other brecciated crystals are "cemented" together by a host stone giving it, its beautiful mosaic-like appearance.
-
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 Earth's can be found in many places including South Africa, Madagascar, and Brazil.
-
Mookaite Jasper is formed from fossilized remains of marine organisms that are microscopic. Overtime, these fossilized organisms become sediment at the bottom of seabeds. The colorations on these crystals come from silica-rich rock that have different inclusions which give it a range of colors from tan to dark purple. The word "Mooka" actually means "running water" which is how it got its name. These crystals are mainly found in the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia which makes it a more rare stone.

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. Crazy Lace Agate is formed when volcanic activity causes silica-rich fluids to move through rock cavities. The different layers form from chalcedony that have different inclusions within it such as iron and aluminum. The rhythmic-like pattern is how it gets its name "crazy lace". This crystal is primarily formed in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico.

Ocean jasper is a rare and colorful material exclusively from Madagascar. It is described as a variety of Orbicular Jasper due to its orb-like inclusions. Ocean jasper is a name for what is known to be a spherulitic chalcedony which is a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz. Cryptocrystalline is a term that means its crystals are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
