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.

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.

Tourmaline (/ˈtʊərməlɪn/, -/iːn/ TOOR-mə-lin, -⁠leen) is a crystalline boron silicate mineral compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium. Tourmaline is classified as a semi-precious stone. This gemstone can be found in a wide variety of colors.

Valued for its beauty and durability, tumbled rose Quartz tumbled is a transparent to translucent stone in a beautiful shade of soft pink. This semi-precious stone takes an exceptionally nice polish, so it's most commonly carved and cabbed. Some material is cut into faceted gems. Rose Quartz tumbled is abundant and found in large quantities in many localities around the world.
