- MalachiteOne of the minerals known as the “stone of transformation,” malachite is a light green mineral composed mostly of copper carbonate which gives it its green color. Malachite crystals are believed by some to possess certain metaphysical properties that can encourage the opening of the heart, absorb negative energies, and help with emotional healing, but even so, they also make excellent decorative accents because of their beautiful green luster. Explore our collection of malachite here, which includes native specimens, as well as malachite spheres and hand-carved malachite carvings.
- Mango QuartzMango quartz is a special type of quartz so named for its rich yellow color that bears a striking resemblance to the flesh of a mango. It typically contains inclusions of halloysite, is also called golden quartz or corona quartz, and is a relatively rare type of quartz that was somewhat recently discovered in Colombia. While it possesses stunning natural beauty, this type of quartz is also believed by some to possess powerful metaphysical properties, such as the ability to channel creativity while dispelling negative energies.
