Atlanticite

Don't ask me why these are named Atlanticite; they are mined in Australia, which is about as far from the Atlantic as you can get. Misnomer aside, this is a pretty and interesting stone, with a lemon-lime background sprinkled with spots of rosy magenta and purple. Unpolished backs. Click on photos to see details.

Unakite

Mined in Mexico, these lovely stones, in muted green and peach, would make a lovely celebration of spring. Because I am buying direct from the miners, I am able to offer these at fantastic prices. NOTE: As these stones are individually polished, they are NOT polished on the back. Click on photos to see stones better. More Unakite coming soon!
