Sonoran Mountain- a premium variety of turquoise stone. Mined in Mexico near the Arizona border, and known for its vibrant blue and green matrix.

Pink Conch- known for its light pink color. Pick conch is produced by the queen conch, a large sea snail found in the Caribbean Sea. There is a lot of controversy on the pronunciation of “conch”, both “konch” and “konk” are acceptable to use. 

Palomino Variscite- Often mistaken for turquoise, palomino Variscite is the cousin of turquoise. Known for its bright yellow hues. Palomino is mined out of Sonora, Mexico. 

Spiny Oyster Shell- This stone comes from Mollusks that are found in warm, tropical oceans. The shell ranges from bright orange and red to deep purple. This is where we get our many different colors of spiny oyster.
