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***

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***

4 x 1 x 5cm Hematite is a heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral. It is made of ferric oxide. It constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (approximately 70 percent) and its abundance. Its name comes from its Greek meaning, "blood". Hematite is unusual in that its macrocrystalline forms are incongruent, while its particulate forms are congruent. When it is formed congruently, it has a red color to it and when formed incongruently, it is a silvery-black color. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

9 x 3 x 10cm 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***

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***

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***

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***

8 x 2 x 8cm Flower agate gets its name from the flower-like formations within the crystal's body. These crystals are volcanic rocks that are mainly composed of chalcedony and quartz. These crystals can vary in color; from pink to a dark grey/purple. Recently discovered in Madagascar, these crystals are believed to go back to 2000 BC. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

4 x 2 x 6cm Celestite is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate. The mineral is named for its periwinkle blue color. Celestite and the carbonate mineral strontianite are the main sources of the element strontium which is commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys. This mineral is found in Madagascar and Sicily, Italy. ***Due to natural variations in stones, 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***
