Mookaite Jasper is formed from fossilized remains of marine organisms that are microscopic. Overtime, these fossilized organisms become sediment at the bottom of seabeds. The colorations on these crystals come from silica-rich rock that have different inclusions which give it a range of colors from tan to dark purple. The word "Mooka" actually means "running water" which is how it got its name. These crystals are mainly found in the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia which makes it a more rare stone.

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.

Maligano Jasper is formed from volcanic activity and is exclusively sourced from the island Sulawesi which is located in Indonesia. Like a lot of other jaspers, it is formed when a bunch of other brecciated crystals are "cemented" together by a host stone giving it, its beautiful mosaic-like appearance.

Lapis lazuli forms near igneous interferances where limestone or marble has been altered by contact metamorphism or hydrothermal metamorphism. In these rocks, lazurite replaces portions of the host rock and often develops within certain bands or layers which can include other minerals such as pyrite and white calcite. Lapis Lazuli is mostly found in Afghanistan but can also be found in Chile, Russia, Canada, Argentina, Pakistan, and the US. Within the US, these stones can be found in Colorado, California, and Arizona.

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".
-
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.
-
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. *All spheres come with a free stand*

Firework Stone - or Astrophyllite is a rare titanium mineral that's dark in color and often contains sparkling inclusion. There are often garnet and/or arfvedsonite inclusions in them. The iridescence in them come from the Astrophyllite in them. These moody stones can be found in Brazil, Botswana, and India.
-
Dream amethyst (also known as Chevron Amethyst) is a natural mineral formed when amethyst and white quartz fuse together while cooling down off after a volcanic eruption. The amethyst that fuses to the white quartz creates the chevron-like shapes in the crystals. The main areas Dream Amethyst can be found is Brazil, Namibia, and Morocco.
