Thaumasite

Thaumasite’s physical appearance features prismatic needle-like or fibrous aggregates, which are usually colorless to white and occasionally transparent. These unique patterns and delicate structures often leave observers astonished. It is created when certain fluids that contain a lot of calcium come into contact with gypsum, a common mineral, while being surrounded by rocks that are rich in silica. The crystal's history traces back to its discovery in Cornwall, England, during the mid-19th century. Its name, derived from the Greek word "thaumazein" meaning "to marvel," reflects the wonder it inspired among early mineralogists and researchers.

Welo Opal

This gem is primarily made of silica and water, but what sets it apart is its "hydrophane" nature. That means it can absorb water and temporarily change color. How cool is that? It's like a mood ring, but way more sophisticated.

Green Chlorite Quartz

Green Chlorite Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide with substantial inclusions of Green Chlorite, which includes iron, magnesium, and aluminum.

Rosasite

Rosasite is a rare mineral known for its pink or rose-red color and delicate texture. It often appears as botryoidal formations or crusts on other minerals, adding to its unique beauty.

Purpurite

Purpurite is a fascinating crystal that captivates with its vibrant color. When you first see this gemstone, you'll be enchanted by its deep and alluring shades of purple. Its hues range from soft lavender to intense violet, evoking a sense of mystery and spirituality.

Cacoxenite

Crackled Fire Agate

Crackled Fire Agate has bright, iridescent cracks that look like flickering flames within. It is a variety of Chalcedony Quartz, a microcrystalline mineral made predominantly of silicon dioxide (SiO2).

Elestial Quartz

Elestial Quartz is a beautiful and powerful crystal. The most common colors are black, blue, brown, clear, and colorless.

Harlequin Quartz

Harlequin Quartz is the trade name for Milky, Clear, or Smoky Quartz with Hematite (red) and Lepidocrocite (silver) inclusions. These inclusions resemble stars or sparkling clouds and bring benefits such as passion and balance.

Actinolite

Actinolite is an amphibole silicate mineral that is found in metamorphic rocks. It is usually a translucent stone in green, black, and gray hues. Actinolite forms in long crystals or needle-like structures and is often found within other gemstones, such as Quartz.

Astrophyllite

Astrophyllite is a rare crystal that is most commonly metallic shades of brown and gold in color. This glimmering crystal can form within both a light or dark-colored matrix and in combination with several other crystals as a Pegmatite.
