Our selection process is meticulous, with the top 20% of all material chosen for its exceptional qualities. These range from a delicate, lighter pink with a delightful girasol-like glow to a richer, deeper shade of pink. It's important to note that, at times, individual pieces or batches may display slight variations in colour intensity, which is a natural characteristic of this gemstone. Madagascar is particularly well-known for its Rose Quartz's gem-like transparency, although it often tends to showcase lighter pink tones. Star-Rose Quartz, a specialty from this region, exhibits an intriguing asterism, creating a mesmerizing star-like pattern on a spherical surface. While the same material is used to craft various polished items such as points, bowls, standing free forms, and gallets, it's important to note that the distinctive asterism is not present on these forms due to differences in geometry.

Malachite is a green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral with a chemical composition of Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. It was one of the first ores used to produce Copper metal.  Our specimens are sourced from the Congo which extensively mines the material for its Copper content, thus getting specimen grade material is quite difficult.  Pliny the Elder, 79 CE used the ancient term Molochitus but by 1661 the revised spelling was widely adopted as Malachite. Malachite has a widely variable habit ranging from botryoidal, silky, and stalactite like forms. The weight to size ratio of specimens can also have a wide range of variation depending on the density of the material. Highly dense banded or flower pattern material is considered the best for cutting material. Cutting rough material is $25 - $32 per kg and 50 - 70% of the rough is lost during polishing processing making the polished price per kg quite high.  Price is grade dependant.

Generally Speaking - ' Chiredzi, a renowned source of exquisite amethyst Smokey quartz crystals, is celebrated for its striking resemblance to the famous Brandberg amethyst. These captivating crystals often feature Lepidocrocite specular or needle-like inclusions, along with skeletal, window, and sceptre features, enhancing their allure. In the early days, the first few batches of material we received exhibited a relatively high percentage of damage. However, our regional efforts have made a significant impact, as we've worked closely with miners to instil greater care in their extraction methods, thereby reducing the frequency of damage. Moreover, the average size of these remarkable crystals has increased since our initial acquisitions, with specimens between 40 to 80mm becoming more prevalent. The crystals from this region often arrive stained or coated with complex patinas, necessitating specialized cleaning methods to reveal their true beauty. Chiredzi's presence in the gemstone world dates back to late 2018 and early 2019, with limited material available until recently. At Toprock, we have devoted substantial resources and manpower to explore the region, seeking the source and origins of this exceptional material. As a result, we now directly source from a diverse range of regional deposits spanning from Chiredzi to Shangani. Notably, Chiredzi was initially named for deposits in Zimbabwe, but more gemmy material has since been reported from Zambia, with recent deposits emerging in Mozambique. Discover the enigmatic beauty of Chiredzi's amethyst Smokey quartz crystals, a testament to nature's artistry and the meticulous efforts invested to bring them to the world. Price is grade dependant.

The mineral is named for its delicate blue colour. Celestine and the carbonate mineral Strontianite are the principal sources of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys. Madagascar yields some amazing specimens of this mineral which has a range of blue to blue grey colours. The acicular crystal habit is particularly rare. We select only the absolute best specimens which are graded based on shape, clarity and colour of crystals and levels of intactness. A fairly small amount of material ends up being polished into various shapes. Celestite was named for its pale sky-blue colour (from the Latin term caelestis) by Abraham Werner in 1798. Oral history suggests that the Sakoany deposit of Madagascar were first discovered by a cattle herder who found some crystals that had weathered out close to the shore of the bay. Other deposits are known from various states in the USA, Poland, Germany, Mexico and exceptionally rare acicular specimens have been found from Congo.

Its captivating green hue is not merely a colour—it's a symphony of light and chemistry. Chromium infuses vibrant shades into Chrome Chalcedony, while Nickel bestows Mtorolite with its distinct tone, sometimes adorned with delicate black Chromite specks. Each piece of Mtorolite is a natural work of art, emerging from intricate, plate-like deposits that bear the marks of time, appearing etched and weathered in their raw splendour. At Toprock, we pay homage to this natural elegance by meticulously polishing one side of the Mtorolite to reveal its lustrous sheen, while preserving its original form on the other side—whether it's the semi-crystalline botryoidal structures or a raw, untouched face. Though abundant in stock, our Mtorolite remains a hidden treasure awaiting its rightful place in the world of luxury and adornment.

It may form in tiny dense needles within a Quartz crystal where it is known as Tourmalinated Quartz. Our black Tourmaline mostly comes from the Erongo Region of Namibia which yields some of the best specimen grade material in the world. Specimens of Tourmaline broadly tend to have Mercedes or acicular terminations, occurring as either single crystals or clusters which display a wide range of habits. Minerals associations from Erongo can include Hyalite Opal, Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Feldspar and Orthoclase. Always a winner in any retail environment as highly sought after. Schorl is used in the walls of international space stations as it is recognised to absorb electromagnetic \/ solar radiation.

These treasures are few and far between, predominantly appearing as small-sized specimens, each showcasing varying degrees of crystalline splendour resting on a matrix reminiscent of dolomite. Libethenite, a highly sought-after Copper Phosphate hydroxide mineral, unveils striking dark green orthorhombic crystals that immediately captivate the eye. This remarkable mineral found its origins back in 1823 in Ľubietová, Slovakia, acquiring its name from the German name of that locality, Libethen. Known for its formation in the oxidized zones of Copper ore deposits, Libethenite emerges as a secondary Copper Phosphate mineral, often deriving its phosphate content from the weathering of Apatite and other phosphates like Monazite and Xenotime. From the depths of the Congo, this mineral reveals itself sporadically, showcasing its exceptional rarity and becoming an incredibly prized collectible. Each specimen possesses an extraordinary array of orthorhombic crystal clusters, presenting a stunning visual treat for enthusiasts and collectors alike. Distinguished by its scarcity and captivating aesthetics, Libethenite is an extraordinary addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the sheer beauty and rarity found within the world of minerals.
