5cm x 6cm x 2cm 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***

4cm x 5cm x 1cm 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***

5cm x 5cm x 3cm Lepidolite is a rare, lithium-rich, mica mineral. This beautiful mineral's color ranges from pinks and reds to purple. The color comes from the amounts of magnesium found in the mineral. Lepidolite is found in Brazil, Madagascar, Australia, and many other countries where lithium is found. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm x 5cm x 3cm Serpentine is primarily composed of one or more of the three magnesium silicate minerals: lizardite, chrysotile, and "antigorite. This mineral comes from the Earth's mantle which is just under the Earth's crust. This mineral is the state rock of California but can also be found in Russia, Greece, New Zealand, and many other places. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 8cm Tall 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***

8cm - 9cm Tall Howlite was originally discovered in Canada by a geologist named Henry How which is where its name comes from. Howlite is formed in evaporate deposits with other borate and evaporate minerals. The outside of the mineral is not pleasant to the eye and is said to look like a head of cauliflower. However, when that is taken off, this beautiful mineral is found inside! This mineral is mainly found in Canada and the USA. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5.5cm Wide Sunstone is a plagioclase feldspar. The glitter-like sheen in this stone comes from inclusions that are most commonly hematite but can also be goethite, pyrite, or copper (rare). This beautiful stone is formed in molten lava and can be found in many places around the world such as Australia, Canada, China, Congo, India, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the U.S. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***

-
5cm Wide Pink opal is formed by bubbling water near volcanic ash. It dissolves the silica and forms in nodules from volcanic activity. Most specimens contain pink opal mixed with minerals such as rhyolite. These beautiful specimens are only found in Peru and Australia. ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
-
5cm Tall 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. Green Onyx is mainly found in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Peru, and USA ***Due to natural variations in stones, appearance will vary***
