Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful banded masses. Africa contains several outstanding Malachite deposits. The mines at Katanga (Shaba), especially at Kolwezi, in the Congo (Zaire) produce Malachite in all sorts of odd shapes and forms, and are the source of the best banded, concentric, stalactitic and sparkling specimens. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

P.S. The white shiny spots are actually light reflections and are not signs of damages.

Quartz is considered a “master healer.” It's said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. It's also said to aid concentration and memory. Physically, clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body.

Quartz is also said to be a power gemstone that harmonizes and balances; enhancing energy and thoughts as well as purifying the spiritual, mental and physical. Quartz is associated with the crown chakra.

These great specimens of Staurolite come from Keivy, in the Kola Peninsula, Russia. The staurolite is twinned, with the intersecting crystals forming a "Fairy Cross".  Staurolite is a common metamorphic mineral famous for its twinned crystals that form into the shape of a cross. Its name comes from the Greek word for cross.

The twin is a classic penetration twin where it appears as if two crystals grew into and out of each other. It actually forms two twin types; one is nearly 90 degrees and the other nearly 60 degrees.  It was associated with Christianity as a symbol for the cross and as a good luck charm. It has been given the names "Fairy Stone" or Fairy Cross" as it was believed to be formed from the tears the fairies shed when they learned of Christ's death.

These crystals are excellent for jewelry making.

Lapis lazuli or lapis for short, is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color.  Lapis lazuli commonly contains pyrite and white calcite. The pyrite inclusions in natural stones are randomly scattered throughout the stone and have irregular outlines that are surrounded by darker blue rings.  

Lapis Lazuli encourages taking charge of life.  It is said to reveal inner truth, encourage self-awareness, and self-expression without holding back or compromising.  This stone is believed to bring the enduring qualities of honesty, compassion and uprightness to the personality.

Lapis Lazuli is said to bond relationships in love and friendship and aid in expressing feelings and emotions.
