Spessartine

Spessartine

From the Ordovician age

a crystal occurring in a wide variety of colors and forms

honey gold Barite crystals atop a base of verdant green and purple Fluorite

the slight yellow tint of which perfectly highlights the sea green crystals

Calcite is clear naturally but it can be found in a variety of brilliant colors due to the presence of chemical impurities during formation

Calcite is a form of Calcium Carbonate and is one of the primary components in limestone

with color intensity usually deepest at the termination or tip of each crystal

and is one of the more common gems although pieces of exceptional hue and clarity are considered fairly rare and can be extremely valuable

Pipefish are a widespread group of tropical marine and freshwater fish most closely related to the more well-known seahorses

pyrite is an abundant sulfide mineral that despite some similarities can easily be distinguished from actual gold by its crystal form (typically cuboidal) and being much harder whereas gold is soft and malleable

red and many other colors corresponding to their physical makeup and conditions when the mineral was formed

resulting from the oxidation of its copper and sulfide components
