Crystal Penguin Carvings

Anyolite is also known as ruby in zoisite and is a rock composed of zoisite, with red ruby crystals often accented by black crystals of the hornblende, tschermakite.

Brecciated jasper contains hematite which gives it both its red tones and the dark bands. Breccia means a rock composed of broken fragments cemented together into a fine-grained matrix.

The pink color of rose quartz is caused by inclusions of a pink variety of the mineral dumortierite. These inclusions are usually abundant enough to make the rose quartz translucent instead of transparent.
