5.5cm Wide Obsidian, igneous rocks occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes. Obsidian is about 65 to 80 percent silica and less than 1 percent water. This glass-like mineral is harder than window glass! Black obsidian is typically black but can have red inclusions due to iron and hematite. Gas bubbles can also get trapped inside this mineral and create either a gold or silver sheen beneath the surface. Obsidian is mainly found near the west coast of the United States including Hawaii and Alaska. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8cm 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***

10cm Tall Bloodstone is formed, like many other minerals, when molten rock rises to the Earth's surface and cools. Then as gasses escape and settle on the rock's surface, it leaves little pockets on the surface of the mineral. The green color in Bloodstone comes from Chlorite and Amphibole. The red spots are iron oxide deposits where the gasses rose. Most Bloodstone is found in India, Australia, Brazil, and Madagascar. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

19cm x 8cm x 7cm Cactus quartz is a rare specimen that can only be found in the Magaliesberg Mountains in South Africa. Its color can range from a yellow hue (as pictured) to a purple hue. Cactus quartz is formed when a second generation of quartz points form on top of the original crystal points.

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***

9cm Wide 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***

4cm - 5cm Tall Cactus quartz is a rare specimen can only be found in the Magaliesberg Mountains in South Africa. Its color can range from a yellow hue (as pictured) to a purple hue. Cactus quartz is formed when a second generation of quartz points form on top of the original crystal points. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
