Tourmaline is the most multicoloured mineral type known, occurring in virtually every colour of the spectrum. It has many interesting optical properties. When viewed through their vertical axis, some specimens appear darker or differ in colour than when seen through their horizontal axis. Certain Tourmalines exhibit a cat's eye effect when polished. This mineral is also piezoelectric which means that through mechanical action an electric pulse is formed, similar to quartz. Tourmaline is sought after as a talisman of protection to deflect and counteract negative energies. It is also used to guard against radiation and environmental pollutants.

Blue kyanite is striated with a pearlized appearance. This brittle and fibrous mineral, aluminum silicate, is found in garnet and mica deposits. It is used in the manufacture of porcelain and as an electrical insulator. As a healing stone, kyanite never needs cleansing because it never accumulates or retains negative energy. It is also excellent for opening and aligning all chakras. As a healing stone, it is believed to enhance both creative expression and aid in the development of truth and loyalty by bringing in divine essence.

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz crystal composed of silicon dioxide with traces of iron. As a healing stone it is said to be helpful in ridding nightmares. Also helpful to calm an overworked and over stressed mind. It is thought to dispel negativity and create a peaceful environment.

Citrine is considered the "merchant stone" due to it's ability to promote abundance, creativity and power. It also stimulates the crown chakra and is therefore helpful in stimulating the mind. It also helps align the chakras and balances energy. This citrine, is a heat treated amethyst, an affordable alternative to natural citrine which is relatively rare. It shows a range of translucent colours from sunny yellow to brown.

Quartz, the master stone once thought to be solidified light. Special characteristics of storing (programming), amplifying and transmitting thoughts and energy. Activates pineal and pituitary glands. Excellent for meditation and accessing higher self and guides.

Prasiolite aka Green amethyst is produced when heat is applied to amethyst containing iron compounds with specific properties. Most amethyst turns yellow, orange or brown when heated, but this type turns green instead. Since amethyst by definition is a purple form of quartz, green amethyst is sometimes called green quartz and could also be referred to as prasiolite. The common practice of heat-treating stone does not compromise the value of the resulting coloured natural gemstone. The healing properties of this gemstone are said to be amplification of energies (positive or negative) and inspiration to be original and unique.

Rose quartz is a member of the largest family of stones, the silica group and is composed of silicon dioxide with traces of titanium. It emits a calming, cooling energy which can gently remove negativity and to reinstate the loving, gentle forces of self-love. The pink colour of rose quartz has been symbolic of love throughout the ages.

Selenite is named after the Greek word for moon, contrary to popular belief, it contains no significant selenium. Satin Spar selenite is a form of fibrous and crystallized gypsum. Other varieties include alabaster, selenite, desert rose and gypsum flower, gypsum rock, ram horn and sand gypsum. It is common to refer to satin spar as selenite. As a healing stone, this mineral is commonly used to charge or cleanse crystals. It is said to help regenerate the cellular structure and has been used to correct skeletal disorders and to promote flexibility. Selenite also provides clarity of mind, expanding awareness.
