A Gem Born from Nature’s Artistry

Turquoise Agate is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral in the quartz family. What sets it apart is the ethereal blend of turquoise blue and subtle earthy tones, often layered like a painting formed over millions of years. It’s a stone that speaks of ocean waves, desert skies, and quiet moments in nature.

Each piece of Turquoise Agate used in our designs is hand-selected for its unique pattern and energy. No two stones are ever the same—which means every necklace, ring, or bracelet is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

More than just a stunning gemstone, Turquoise Agate is believed to carry powerful emotional and spiritual benefits. It’s known for its calming energy, helping to soothe anxiety, balance emotions, and promote inner peace.

Whether you’re navigating a major life change or simply looking to feel more centered, wearing Turquoise Agate can be a gentle reminder to stay grounded and connected to your true self.

ā€œWhen I wear my Turquoise Agate ring, I feel a sense of calm and confidence—like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.ā€

What is Malachite?

Malachite Mineral

Malachite is a beautiful decorative stone. Its rich, patterned coloration in shades of green is unique among gems. Malachite’s low hardness makes it easy to work, though it still takes a polish very well. These qualities, combined with ready availability, make malachite a popular choice for lapidary artistry.

Malachite is abundant in its typical forms, so even the best specimens are modestly priced. Pieces showing an unusual crystal habit, distinctive pattern, or chatoyancy will have higher values. Rocks consisting of malachite and other colorful copper minerals in lovely combinations generally command higher prices than pure malachites. The value of carvings and ornamental objects hinges primarily on the size and artistry of the work.

How Does Malachite Get Its Color?

This vivid green gem gets its color from copper. Invariably associated with copper ore deposits, malachite ranks as a minor copper ore, with 58% copper content. Its recovery generally occurs, at least on a large scale, as a sidelight of copper mining.

Malachite Color Pattern (2)

How Does Malachite Get Its Patterns?

Malachite’s characteristic swirling and concentric band patterns are a result of its formation process. Technically, malachite is usually a “secondary mineral.” It is created by a chemical reaction between minerals that have already formed. This happens rather than by a simple one-step process. Malachite may form in two ways. It can form when water containing carbon dioxide or dissolved carbonate minerals interacts with preexisting copper-containing rocks. Alternatively, it forms when solutions containing dissolved copper minerals interact with carbonate rocks. Malachite’s swirls and bands show the changing solutions necessary for its formation. They reflect the waxing and waning of these solutions and the variations in their chemical content.

Does Malachite Make a Good Jewelry Stone?

Since malachite has a Mohs hardness of just 3.5 to 4.5, a somewhat brittle tenacity, and sensitivity to both heat and acids, it requires special care as a jewelry stone. Consider using protective settings for this gem in rings, bracelets, or other jewelry. These items may receive rough treatment or constant wear. On the other hand, wearing it in earrings, brooches, pendants, and tie pins should pose no special problems.

Although soft, malachites can take a polish very well. This has made them a popular choice for cabochons and beads as well as objets d’art. Lapidary artists use this stone extensively to make boxes, inlays, and carvings of all kinds. With great care, skilled artists can even turn malachite on a lathe to create goblets and candlesticks.

What is Sunstone?

Sunstone gemstone

Sunstone is a microcline or oligoclase feldspar, which when viewed from certain directions exhibits a spangled appearance. It has been found in Southern Norway, Sweden, and various United States localities. Sunstone has also been found on some beaches along the midcoast of South Australia.

Sunstone’s variety of colors (3)

The optical effect is due to reflections from inclusions of red copper, hematite, or goethite, in the form of minute scales, which are hexagonal, rhombic, or irregular in shape, and are disposed parallel to the principal cleavage-plane. These inclusions give the stone an appearance something like that of aventurine, hence sunstone is known also as “aventurine-feldspar”. The optical effect is called schiller and the color of Oregon Sunstone is due to copper. The middle part of this crystal sparkles, and usually the color is darkest in the middle and becomes lighter toward the outer edges.

The feldspar which usually displays the aventurine appearance is oligoclase, though the effect is sometimes seen in orthoclase: hence two kinds of sunstone are distinguished as “oligoclase sunstone” and “orthoclase sunstoneā€. (1)

Sunstone Cabochons (3)

Cabochons from Norwegian and Indian material may reach 100 carats or more. Most available material cuts smaller stones.. This is because the rough is usually badly shattered and cracked. (2)
