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 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***

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***

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***

5cm - 6cm Lapis Lazuli is a semiprecious stone that is commonly used in jewelry and decor all over the world. It is a metamorphic mineral who's composition is variable. Very frequently, Lapis has Pyrite inclusions in it. This semiprecious stone gets its color from the deep blue Lazurite in it (also found in sodalite). Lapis is found in the mines Badakshan, northeastern Afghanistan, and those near Ovalle, Chile. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

5cm - 6cm 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 can be found in many places including South Africa, Madagascar, and Brazil. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 7cm Dalmatian Jasper is made up of feldspars, quartz, alkali amphiboles, and small amounts of hematite and epidote. It gets its name from the neutral color body with the black spots (arfvedsonite). This stone is used in many homes all over the world as a decor item and some countries use this a lot in their jewelry. Dalmatian Jasper is found in Chihuahua, Mexico. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

6cm - 7cm Wide Clear quartz is made of Silicon dioxide and is one of Earth's hardest minerals on the Moh's hardness scale. It is found mixed in many types of minerals and also in bedrock, sand, and gravel. Quartz is naturally clear and opaque but can be found in many other colors. This mineral Earth's most abundant crystal and can be found in many different places but mostly in the Alps, Madagascar, and Brazil. ***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***

20mm 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***

12cm 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***

50mm - 60mm 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***

60mm - 70mm 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***

40-50mm 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***

40mm - 50mm Iolite is a magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate mineral formed in metamorphic rocks underground. High pressure and temperature mixed with high amounts of magnesium is how this mineral gets its dark violet color. This mineral, when cut and polished, is gemstone material and is transparent. Many countries use this in jewelry as opposed to Sapphire and Tanzanite. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

19cm x 8cm x 7cm Cactus quartz is a rare specimen that can only be found in the Magaliesberg Mountains in South Africa. Its color can range from a yellow hue (as pictured) to a purple hue. Cactus quartz is formed when a second generation of quartz points form on top of the original crystal points.
-
3cm x 3cm x 11cm If your birthday is in February, you are probably familiar with this beautiful crystal. Amethyst is made mainly of quartz. Their purple color comes from its aluminum and iron properties and can range from pink to a dark purple. This popular gemstone originated in ancient Greek times. Now, higher quality amethyst is mainly found in Brazil and Uruguay but can be found all over the world, including the United States.
-
6cm - 7cm Tall Moss agate is a semi-precious stone. It is a variety of Chalcedony and it formed from silicon dioxide. The field of this stone is a milky white or clear quartz with blue and green inclusions that form as a result of oxides in the mineral. The dendritic inclusions are mainly made from manganese or iron that grow into patterns to give it the moss look. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***

10cm Tall 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. ***Due to natural variations in stones, the appearance will vary***
