|  Natural Opal
Opal is the most colorful of all gems. It is a form of silica chemically similar to quartz, but more like glass and containing a variable amount of water within the mineral structure. Its splendid play of color is unsurpassed, and fine examples can be more valuable than diamond. Precious opals (black and white) are cut and polished into cabochons and used in all forms of jewelry.

|  Natural Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. The pink color of rhodochrosite is caused by the element manganese and it is formed when manganese is dissolved by ground water and combines with a carbonate material and then drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground.Rhodochrosite often forms pink and white bands. It is often carved into figurines or boxes while the tubular stalactite formations are often sliced for use in jewelry. Fine gem quality crystals are sometimes cut into gemstones for use in high end jewelry, but the more common grade is used extensively in silver and gold jewelry.
