  • 6cm x 4cm x 10cm 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***
  • 13.5cm Tall 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***
  • 6cm x 5cm x 8cm 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***
  • 60mm Wide Moss agate is a semi-precious stone. It is a variety of Chalcedony and it formed from silicon dioxide. The field of this stone is a milky white or clear quartz with blue and green inclusions that form as a result of oxides in the mineral. The dendritic inclusions are mainly made from manganese or iron that grow into patterns to give it the moss look. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 7.5cm x 5cm x 7.5cm Labradorite is a type of feldspar that gets it's flashy colors from intergrowths within the mineral. Light then travels through these intergrowths and displays its beautiful colors. These colors can range from purples and blues to greens and yellows. This mineral gets its name from where it was originally discovered, in Labrador, Canada. This mineral was also found in Finland during WWII and was also known as "Falcon's Eye". ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 4 x 3 x 20cm Sodalite is a rare mineral formed inside igneous rocks crystalized as a result of sodium-rich magma. The blue color comes from the rock that Sodalite is formed in; nepheline syenite, trachyte, and phonolite. Although the sodalite-bearing rock is rare, it can most commonly be found in the US, Canada, and Africa. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 65mm Jasper is an opaque and impure variety of silicon dioxide. The name 'jasper' originates from the Greek word for 'spotted stone' which refers to its typical multi-colored, striped, spotted or flamed appearance. Jasper can come in just about any color depending on the sediments of the original mineral. This mineral is mostly found in India, Russia, Egypt, Madagascar, and Australia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 8 x 3 x 11cm Apatite is formed under sedimentary rocks found in marine environments. In this environment, phosphatic organic debris (such as bones, teeth, scales, and fecal material) mineralizes to form these crystals. These crystals vary from green to blue color. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 65mm Wide Moss agate is a semi-precious stone. It is a variety of Chalcedony and it formed from silicon dioxide. The field of this stone is a milky white or clear quartz with blue and green inclusions that form as a result of oxides in the mineral. The dendritic inclusions are mainly made from manganese or iron that grow into patterns to give it the moss look. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 15.5cm Tall Jasper is an opaque and impure variety of silicon dioxide. The name 'jasper' originates from the Greek word for 'spotted stone' which refers to its typical multi-colored, striped, spotted or flamed appearance. Jasper can come in just about any color depending on the sediments of the original mineral. This mineral is mostly found in India, Russia, Egypt, Madagascar, and Australia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
  • 11cm Wide 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***
