Howlite tumbled is a white stone with veins of black or dark grey running throughout its polished surface. This stone is valued for its marble feel and ability to take dye. First found in Canada, howlite tumbled is now mined in the USA, Brazil, and South Africa. It is often made into decorative objects and when dyed blue, it resembles turquoise.

Angelite is a blue-gray variety of the mineral known as Anhydrite, and its unique coloration makes it a highly popular in the gemstone trade. It is rarely faceted, more often used for carved, ornamental objects and polished cabochons. The only known locality of angelite is Peru, where it was first discovered in the late 1980s.

Moonstone is a popular commercial name for any Moonstone that features a color other than white. Moonstone comes in several colors and it's prized for the "unearthly" shine particularly emphasized in cabochon cuts. Its multicolored variety, also known as Rainbow Moonstone, is made from the material mined in Sri Lanka and Southern India.

Peridot gemstone is a variety of the mineral Olivine, found in peridotite rock from the earth’s upper mantle. The ancient Egyptians referred to peridot gemstone as the "gem of the sun". Its greenish-yellow color and long history make it a popular jewelry stone today. Some of these stones are found in pallasite meteorites, estimated at around 4.5 billion years old. They are remnants of the birth of our solar system.

Fluorite is sometimes referred to as the ‘Rainbow Mineral,, as it comes in a range of colors that come from unique impurities, as it is translucent/transparent when pure. Countries with the biggest deposits are South Africa, Mexico, and China, although it is found elsewhere. Good quality fluorite is used for faceted gemstones. The variety ‘Blue John’ was used for vases.

A type of Quartz and the most common Aventurine variety, green Aventurine is prized for its emerald-green color. This color is caused by the presence of fuchsite Mica inclusions in Quartz that reflect light. A less expensive substitute for Jade, green Aventurine is regularly formed into beads, pearls, and cabochons, and used with jewelry. It is also used for carved objects, vases, bowls, and sculptures.

Pallasite Meteorite is a rare type of stony-iron meteorite consisting of olivine crystals embedded in a metallic matrix. Originating from the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids, it was first discovered in the early 19th century.

The name apophyllite refers to a specific group of phyllosilicates, a class of minerals. Originally, the group name referred to a specific mineral, but was redefined in 1978 to stand for a class of minerals of similar chemical makeup that comprise a solid solution series, and includes the members fluorapophyllite-(K), fluorapophyllite-(Na), hydroxyapophyllite-(K). The name apophyllite is derived from the Greek ἀποφυλλίζω apophylliso, meaning "it flakes off", a reference to this class's tendency to flake apart when heated, due to water loss. Exfoliation of apophyllite is also possible by treating it with acids or simply by rubbing it. These minerals are typically found as secondary minerals in vesicles in basalt or other volcanic rocks. A recent change (2008) in the nomenclature system used for this group was approved by the International Mineralogical Association, removing the prefixes from the species names and using suffixes to designate the species. A subsequent nomenclature change approved by the International Mineralogical Association in 2013 renamed the minerals to include both suffixes and prefixes, as shown above. Though relatively unfamiliar to the general public, apophyllites are fairly prevalent around the world, with specimens coming from some of the world's most well-known mineral localities. These localities include: Jalgaon, India; the Harz Mountains of Germany, Mont Saint-Hilaire in Canada, and Kongsberg, Norway, with other locations in Scotland, Ireland, Brazil, Japan, and throughout the United States.
