Stones Black Jade: Prized for centuries worldwide as a beautiful, durable material for everything from tools and weapons to delicate jewelry, this stone is a rich black with hints of charcoal and occasional splashes of golden pyrite. Sourced from Wyoming. Chrysoprase: A variant of chalcedony, this gem's glowing seafoam color comes from trace quantities of nickel. Some say it boosts optimism and helps unlock suppressed emotions. Sourced in Tanzania. Lapis Lazuli: Prized in jewelry around the world for over 6000 years, this rich, blue stone was mined in Afghanistan. Bloodstone, or Heliotrope, is a teal green jasper with beautiful inclusions of red hematite splashed across its surface.
