Physical properties
Hardness: 6-7 (Mohs); Color: Multi-colored (purple, green, white, orange, yellow); Luster: Vitreous to waxy; Crystal Structure: Various (mostly Trigonal/Hexagonal/Monoclinic); Cleavage: Mostly none to poor
Formation & geological history
These are various minerals (Amethyst, Howlite, Agate, Quartz, Jasper, Prehnite) formed through hydrothermal vents, volcanic gas cavities (vugs), or metamorphic processes over millions of years.
Uses & applications
Used primarily for decorative purposes, crystal healing, collection, and as materials for craft jewelry like wire-wrapping.
Geological facts
This assortment includes Amethyst (the purple stone), Howlite (the white stone with grey veins), Carnelian (red-orange), Citrine or Yellow Jasper, and Prehnite (light green with inclusions).
Field identification & locations
Identify by color, transparency, and specific inclusions (like the black tourmaline needles in the green prehnite). These are commonly found in 'gem mining' kits or metaphysical shops.
