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***

Quartz is a mineral that is formed in two different ways; as magma is cooled from a very high temperature and when silica-rich water is cooled from a very high temperature. When formed, quartz is transparent and clear. Different inclusions and colors are present depending on the environment that the quartz is formed in. Quartz can be found all over the world but mainly in the Alps, Brazil, and Madagascar. ***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***

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***

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***

4 x 1 x 4cm Sardonyx combines alternating layers of sard and onyx to create a reddish zebra-striped gemstone with white bands. Onyx is a banded variety of the oxide mineral chalcedony. Onyx and Agate are similar in that they are both varieties of layered chalcedony. The difference between the two is that agate has curved banding and onyx has parallel banding. The colors of the banding range from virtually every color possibility.Onyx is mainly found in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, and USA. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

8 x 2 x 8cm 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***

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***

4 x 1 x 5cm 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***

8cm - 9cm Amazonite is a type of feldspar that gets its name from the Amazon River. Geologists once thought the color came from the oxides that come off of copper. In recent studies, geologists suggest this stone gets its color from the lead and water contents that are found within its contents. Originally found in Brazil, these beautiful rocks can also be found in Madagascar. There have also been findings of this crystal in Colorado, United States. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
