8 x 8 x 9cm 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. ***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***

4 x 1 x 5cm Aventurine is a part of the quartz family. This mineral ranges many colors; pink being the most rare of all the colors. This mineral is composed of quartz with many micro inclusions (such as mica) to create its beautiful appearance. The pink tone in it comes from the hematite in the mineral. This mineral is most commonly found in India but can also be found in Brazil, Austria, Canada, and Tanzania. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

8 x 3 x 8cm Green Opal is a type of common opal that ranges in color from a pale to dark green. It's one of the easiest Opals to find and can be found in 6 continents. Most of these specimens have come from Australia, Brazil, USA, Mexico, and Peru. ***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***

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***

4 x 1 x 5cm 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***

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***

4 x 4 x 5cm 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***

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***

8 x 2 x 7cm 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***

4 x 1 x 5cm 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***
