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***

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***

20mm 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. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

20mm 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. Agate can be found here in the USA; mostly in the northwest. ***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. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

15mm Also known as Crocodile Jasper, Kambaba Jasper is a sedimentary Fossilized Stromatolite Algae. Greenish or blackish orbs of petrified algae with mostly black centers make this stone very different from other jaspers. The name “crocodile jasper” refers to the stone’s resemblance to Crocodile eyes. It is a very old stone dating back about 3 billion years and is found in South Africa and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

3 x 1 x 3cm 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***

3 x 1 x 3cm 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. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

5 x 1 x 3cm Pyrite also called iron pyrite or fool's gold, is a naturally occuring iron disulfide mineral. The name comes from the Greek word "pyr" which means "fire" due to it emitting sparks when struck by metal. Pyrite can be found in Italy, China, Peru, and the Netherlands. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5 x 2 x 3cm 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. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

2 x 1 x 3cm Garden Quartz is a variation of clear quartz that is formed in soils and rocks. Their hues come from different mineral deposits within the crystal. The formation of these crystals happens when carbon dioxide mixes with the silicon dioxide in the atmosphere. These crystals can be found in Brazil. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
