Red Amber Gold Amber Honey Yellow
Amber is the fossilized sap of a pine tree and the earliest material used as gemstone. It has exquisite color dimensions of yellow, gold, and red and is sometimes found with insects or plants encased within its translucent texture. There are large deposits on the seabed floor of the Baltic and after a heavy storm; pieces of Amber wash up on the beaches of neighboring countries. Pieces the size of a human head have been found weighing 22lbs. Amber is also commonly used as an ingredient in perfume and as a healing property in homeopathic medicine. Amber is like no other gem as it originated from vegetation. Man has used Amber since before the ice age as a carving tablet to record moon phases and hunting seasons. It was believed by many to have magical power because it is warm to the touch and can conduct an electrical charge.

Azurite is an electric, royal blue mineral formed on copper from oxidation and weathering. Also known as Chessylite named after the locale of Chessy-les-Mines, near Lyon, France. It has been used as a pigment for centuries and could be mixed with oil and eggs to make green. As it absorbs water it turns into Malachite. Azurite was not popular as a jewel because it is destroyed easily by bright light, intense heat, or open air. Our durable coating will seal and protect your Azurite. Metaphysically, it is believed to calm tension and clear confusion, helping to open the mind to new ideas. Azurite is our darkest, most solid blue gemstone when crushed.

Blue Chrysocolla Black Chrysocolla
Chrysocolla is a beautiful variegated blue and green translucent copper bearing mineral usually found with Malachite, Azurite, and Turquoise. The name derives from the Greek words "chrysos" meaning gold and "kola" meaning glue for the fact that goldsmiths once used Chrysocolla as solder to weld gold pieces together.
For centuries Chrysocolla has been used as a calming stone. The ancient Egyptians named it the “wise stone" because they believed it to shield and encourage the mind during important decision making and negotiations.

Emerald is the most valuable green gemstone on the market not only for its color, durability, and rarity, but for emitting some of the purest green-ray energy. It is known as "The stone of successful love" as well and the "Travelers Protection Stone". Emerald is considered a powerful stone for love and romance, and was the sacred stone for the Goddess Venus. One interesting phenomenon about Emerald is that when it heats up it "sweats" and water can be seen being extracted from the stone. It is also used as a "rainmaker". Columbia is presently the leader in Emerald production with over 150 mines, and thanks to deposits found in Brazil and Pakistan there is more Emerald on the market than ever before.

An incredibly hard stone, Jade was in prehistoric times considered an ideal material for tools and weaponry. The art and history of China is decorated with Jade as are many other cultures.

Lapis is Latin for "stone" and Lazuli is taken from the Arabic translation of Lazhward, the Persian mine's location.
