πΈ Raw Emeralds and Rough Opals
Six Natural Wonders in One Shiny Bundle!
With the Shiny Treasures Bundle, you receive one of each of some of our favorite gemstones and other dazzling pieces!
Emerald is formed when the otherwise colorless crystal beryl is infused with chromium impurities, producing beautiful shades of green. Our raw emeralds are sourced from Colombia's Muzo region, where hydrothermal activity promotes the rapid heating of mineral-infused water, producing these stunning gems.
Opal is unlike most gemstones in that it does not have the typical single crystalline lattice structure. Instead, opal is a collection of very tiny spheres of silicon-dioxide which are packed together and compressed. When light passes through these spheres, it refracts into incredible patterns. Our rough opals date to the Cretaceous Period when Central Australia was home to an enormous inland sea, known to science as the Eromanga Basin.

πΈ Bismuth Rainbow Crystal and Rough Sapphires
Bismuth is known from its staircase-like shape produced by an effect called hoppering. During its formation, bismuth's atoms are attracted to the edges of the growing atomic structure, building off into strange shapes. These bismuth rainbow crystals are the product of oxidization during cooling, forming a thin outer layer that distorts light waves as they pass through.
Sapphire is the product of corundum crystals being infused with metals seeping into the material's aluminum oxide base. Like other gemstones, corundum is clear until the arrival of titanium turns it into sapphire, while the presence of chromium transforms it into its twin, ruby. Our rough sapphires come from Myanmarβs Mogok Metamorphic Belt, also known as the "Valley of Gems."

πΈ Brazilian Amethysts and Cultured Pearls
Amethyst is made of quartz and forms when the gemstone's silica is replaced by trivalent iron. This happens when nuclear decay in nearby rocks releases radiation, the irradiation distorting the gemstone's lattice structure to refract light. Our Brazilian amethysts come from Rio Grande do Sul, one of the most prolific sources of this gemstone.
Pearls form when a foreign object enters a mollusk, such as a grain of sand or a parasite. The mollusk deposits layer upon layer of aragonite and calcite which together are referred to as nacre. Our cultured pearls come fromΒ a freshwater farm on the Tennessee River. Operated for decades by the same family, the methods they employ are used by modern pearl farms around the world to create a sustainable harvest of one of the world's natural treasures.
