Pietersite
Pietersite gemstones are rare, only found in a couple of places. It is one of the most beautiful crystals that exist on earth due to its wide range of colors. Pietersite is a striking variety of jasper that comes primarily from Namibia. It  exhibits various shades of color, ranging from blue to gray and also red to yellow and brown. It displays chatoyancy similar to tiger’s eye quartz.

Apatite
Apatite is very much an insider gemstone collectors’ secret largely unknown to the general public. Occurring in a kaleidoscope of colours – including an electrifying shade of neon blue. It is considered a prized possession among collectors. 

Gemstone-quality apatite occurs in a rainbow of enticing colours: neon blues and greens, petrol blues, deep purples or violets.

Onyx
Onyx is a type of Chalcedony that happens naturally with tiny banded parallel layers. The mineral was first reported in 77 A.D. by Gaius Plinius Secundus and also named after the Greek word "claw" or "fingernail" due to its comparable similarity. The name obtained its use because of the form and brightness of the bands Onyx shows when sliced.
