  • Moldavite
  • Soapstone (also known as steatite)
  • Tactite
  • Unakite

Each gemstone is also available in a variety of ways. For example, there are Colombian Emeralds, Brazilian Emeralds and more. On the other hand, Pearls are harvested in certain areas and are therefore labelled accordingly like Akoya Pearls or Freshwater Cultured Pearls.
