9cm Tall Calcite is a rock-forming mineral that is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. The blue color comes from the calcium carbonate inclusions within this mineral. Blue calcite can be found in many places around the world but mostly in Mexico, The United States, Britain, and Iceland. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8.5cm - 9.5cm Tall 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 7cm 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***

8cm Tall Zebra Jasper is formed as clay deposits settle on White Jasper (Chalcedony). This mineral can be found in Africa, Russia, and India. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

13cm 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***

45mm Septarian concretions are concretions containing cavities or cracks, called septaria. The septaria are the calcite (yellow) filled cracks at the center of the rock, indicating where the center of the concretions have shrunk, possibly during dehydration during its transformative journey over a long period of time. Septarian can be found mostly in the Gulf of Mexico and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

10cm - 11cm Tall 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***

8.5cm - 9.5cm Tall Kiwi Jasper is a mix of amazonite, tourmaline, jasper, and quartz. It gets its name from the green tinge (amazonite) it has in addition to the green specks on it (tourmaline). This mineral is mainly found in New Zealand. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8.5cm - 9.5cm Tall Tiger's eye is a semiprecious stone that is formed when parallel veins of crocidolite fibers are first altered to iron oxides and then replaced by silica. As a result it is more opaque, and creates a rich yellow to brown color. Tiger Eye can be found in Australia, Burma, United States, Brazil, China, and many other countries. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

9.5cm Tall 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***

9cm Tall Caribbean calcite is a very new combination mineral that was recently found in 2019 in Pakistan. It's a combination of a very light ocean Blue Calcite and light brown and white aragonite. Although recently discovered, this mineral is not expected to stick around for long unless more deposits are found in other areas. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

45mm Zoisite is a mineral that forms during the metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Anyolite is a very colorful rock composed mainly of zoisite. It is also known as "ruby in zoisite" because it is composed of green zoisite with bright red ruby. Rubies are corundum gems that are predominately red. The color can range from orangish red to purplish red. The most desirable color range is a pure vibrant red to a slightly purplish red. Ruby in Zoisite was discovered and is still only found in Tanzania ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
