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 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***

4 x 1 x 5cm Hematite is a heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral. It is made of ferric oxide. It constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (approximately 70 percent) and its abundance. Its name comes from its Greek meaning, "blood". Hematite is unusual in that its macrocrystalline forms are incongruent, while its particulate forms are congruent. When it is formed congruently, it has a red color to it and when formed incongruently, it is a silvery-black color. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
