Amethyst Geodes With Calcite

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz and owes its violet color to irradiation, impurities of iron. These amazing rocks are rare and UV reactive...which means they fluoresce under black lights. We have several great examples of these in our store that came from Uruguay in South America

Prayer Stones

Commonly referred to as "Worry Stones", these smooth, polished gemstones, are in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief. But in our store, we call these "Prayer Stones" because God tells us in Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Red Banded Agates

These Red Banded Agates have some of the most amazing and beautiful designs you will ever see in rocks! Agate gemstone occurs in several fascinating colors, forms, and patterns. It is made up of successive layers of curved, parallel bands which may vary considerably in thickness, color, and transparency. We have a large assortment of these in our store, and I promise, you will enjoy looking through them.

Septarian Nodules

Septarian or septarian nodules are concretions containing cracks and cavities filled in with minerals such as calcite (yellow) and aragonite (brown), causing very unique patterns. These septarian nodules make for very interesting display pieces when cut and polished. Septarian is often referred to as "dragon stone" because the natural patterns make people think of dragon skin. We have several of these egg-shaped geodes in our store, and they would be a great addition to any rock collection.

Yooperlite

Yooperlite is a rock that glows under UV lighting. They contain a variety of syenite, an igneous rock, that contains fluorescent minerals like sodalite. When under UV lighting they fluoresce a bright color, ranging from orange to red to pink. They are found in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Lake Superior beaches, inland gravel pits, and other Great Lakes. Come and see how cool these rocks are, and purchase one for you own collection.

Labradorite

This mineral was first discovered on the Isle of Paul near the Labrador Peninsula in Canada. It was founded by the Moravian missionary and bears the name from its location. Unlike most stones, the color displayed from Labradorite does not come from light reflected from the surface of this mineral. Instead, the spectrum of colors that you are seeing is caused by light reflecting off of a twinning surface within the stone. We have some great pieces available in our shop.

Citrine Cluster Crystal

Citrine is a yellow variety of quartz that can range from light yellow to dark amber. Citrine can be found in Brazil, Madagascar, the USA, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is also the birthstone for November. This amazing piece is available at our store, and could be the centerpiece of your collection

White Quartz Geode

The white color in these geodes are caused by fluid inclusions of gas liquid, or both, trapped during crystal formation. Geodes have long been a favorite of rock collectors because of the varieties of crystals and unique designs when cracked open. We have several great examples of these in various sizes. Come in and crack one open!

Malachite

Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral. These green-banded minerals crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system, and most often form in the deep underground spaces of the earth, especially where the water table and hydrothermal fluids provide the perfect environment for chemical precipitation. We have some great examples of cut and tumbled versions of these in our store.

Rainbow Aura Quartz

Aura quartz is enhanced with a combination of titanium and niobium, and is created through a vacuum process on natural quartz crystals...giving it a shiny vibrant finish with rainbow colors.

Jasper is used for jewelry, ornamentation, and decorative purposes. We have some really cool pieces of Jasper in our store, come take a look and see for yourself how amazing these are!

Crazy Lace Agate Sphere

It is often brightly colored and has complex patterns of creamy browns, blacks, grays, golds, pinks, and reds.
