4cm - 5cm 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***

4cm - 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***

6cm - 7cm Chocolate calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral. It gets its name from its milky, chocolately appearance that comes from the different hues and banding. This mineral is often referred to as brown aragonite as they are both very similar in composition. Chocolate calcite can be found in calcium-rich environments. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

7cm - 8cm Fire Quartz- also known as Hematoid Quartz- is clear quartz crystals with iron deposits it them. The color can range from a pale pink to a dark rust color. The formations can form in two different ways; where the hematite forms on the inside as the crystal quartz forms its shape around it. The other way is where the hematite forms on top of an already formed crystal. These beautiful crystals, originally found in Brazil, can also be found in other countries such as Switzerland, Germany, and the United States. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 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***

6cm - 7cm Black moonstone is a silicate gemstone and is famous for its shimmering effect when moved in sunlight. It is believed that these stones resemble the moon when they show their shimmer. Most of the black moonstones have swirls and lines of tan, gray, and peach. Moonstones come in a variety of colors; black, pink, green, white, brown, and grey. This mineral was originally discovered in Madagascar but can also be found in Armenia, Australia, Mexico, and many other countries. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm x 5cm x 2cm Selenite-also known as Satin Spar- is a chemical sedimentary mineral. Unlike carbonate rocks and siliceous rocks, this mineral comes from seawater that evaporates and leaves the chemical found in selenite behind. This beautiful mineral has a pearly, satin-like appearance and is a very soft mineral. These minerals can be found in Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and many other countries! ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
-
5cm - 6cm Rhodonite is a silicate mineral usually found in metamorphic rocks that are known to have other manganese minerals in them. The manganese is how Rhodonite gets its color. These beautiful minerals can be found in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and many other places. ***Due to natural variation 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***
-
5cm - 6cm Wide 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***
-
4cm - 5cm 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***
-
7cm Wide Kiwi Jasper is a mix of amazonite, tourmaline, jasper, and quartz. It gets its name from the green tinge (amazonite) it has in addition to the green specks on it (tourmaline). This mineral is mainly found in New Zealand. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
