Turquoise, Monkey Brain, Quartz and Pearls

From Wikipedia-The substance has been known by many names, but the word turquoise was derived around 16th century from the French language either from the word for Turkish (Turquois) or dark-blue stone (pierre turquin).[1] This may have arisen from a misconception: turquoise does not occur in Turkey but was traded at Turkish bazaars to Venetian merchants who brought it to Europe.[1] The color, however, has been employed extensively in the decorative tiles adorning Turkish places of worship and homes for hundreds of years, beginning with the Seljuks, and the association quite possibly has caused the name to take root.

Monkey Brain Nut! I love this one.

It looks amazing in jewelry and

supposedly brings good luck.

Quartz- such a huge variety! they compliment everything beautifully.

From Wikipedia- Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's continental crust. It belongs to the hexagonal rhombohedral crystal system, and is made up of silica (SiO2) tetrahedra. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.
Pearls-

From Wikipedia- They come in all shapes and shades. The unique lustre of pearls depends upon the reflection and refraction of light from the translucent layers and is finer in proportion as the layers become thinner and more numerous. The iridescence that some pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive layers, which breaks up light falling on the surface.

Pearls are usually white, sometimes with a creamy or pinkish tinge, but may be tinted with yellow, green, blue, brown, purple, or black.

Thinly sliced Tagua Nut

Cubed Tagua Nut

From Wikipedia
Vegetable Ivory is a name used for the Tagua nut in the South American rain forest. When dried out, it can be carved as an ivory replica. Humanitarians and environmentalists can both appreciate it because its use stimulates the economies in South America, provides an alternative to cutting down rain forest for farming, and prevents elephants from being killed for their tusks.
The Ivory-nut palm, Phytelephas aequatorialis, is one plant that can be harvested for vegetable ivory. It is often used for beads and jewelry and can be dyed. Phytelephas macrocarpa, known as tagua, is also used for this purpose.



Bombona Seed

They are dyed in order to achieve these colors.
