3cm Wide Aragonite is a carbonate mineral that is made up of calcium carbonate. It has the same formula as Calcite, but has a different crystal structure. Most aragonite is made up of hexagonal structures and is found in clusters. Aragonite can be white, colorless, gray, yellow, green, blue, red, purple or brown and is found in oxidized areas of ore deposits, hot spring deposits and caves. It is also found in some metamorphic and igneous rocks depending on location. Gem-quality Aragonite is mostly found in Germany and Austria but can also be found in Czechoslovakia, Sicily, Greece, Spain, and Japan. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

4.5cm 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***

3cm - 4cm Wide 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***

3cm - 4cm Smoky Quartz is found in the veins of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Well-formed smoky quartz is found in the cavities of metamorphic rocks. This mineral's color varies depending on where it is found. In areas where there are radioactive mineral deposits, Smoky Quartz is very dark due to the emissions. Brazil and Madagascar are the world's biggest suppliers of Smoky Quartz. ***Due to natural variations of 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***

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***

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***

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***

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***

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***

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***

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***
