Jet stone jewelry is the most common form of jet in Southwestern jewelry. This stone is actually closer to coal than a precious gemstone. Jet jewelry is made up of the jet rock, which forms when a tree settles underwater where little oxygen can reach it, and so it gets compacted as more and more sediment is piled on the wood. Its beauty lies in the fact it’s not really black – its color is such a dark, deep brown it’s often confused with black.
Acoma jet in Pink Camel’s collection can help with: lessening fear, lessening the symptoms of depression, aiding with survival, and it can also be used as an amulet for travelers.
Amber is not actually a stone – it’s fossilized resin from evergreen trees. Naturally, the Native American amber jewelry in Pink Camel’s collection offers everything an amber stone offers too. Having this stone rest on your skin may help: clear the mind, bring good luck, balance emotion, disperse negative energy, and lessen, or even eliminating fears.
And don’t forget – the Amber we wear today used to be a part of ancient evergreens. That must mean some of that old, natural energy is in the amber itself too.
The black jade stone has a deep black color, almost as deep as the pitch black of the woodland night. Used even in the prehistoric times, this stone has both a rich history and some amazing qualities. While jade can come from two different minerals, black jade can come from either of them (either Nephrite or Jadeite) and can be then colored to blackness by bits of iron oxide or graphite.
Wearing black jade jewelry can help you with protection against harm, repelling and discharging negative energy, self-reflection and developing wisdom. Some even claim black jade is the stone of creativity, opening a path to achieving your creative goals and even encourage ambition.
The blue lapis stone has a magical, almost out of this world blue color. The deeper the blue is, the more valuable the stone is.

If treated too roughly, blue lapis can crack or end up scratched, also make sure to protect it from chemical cleaning solvents.
Blue stone lapis jewelry can help you with: warding off negative energy, reactivating your creative muscles, augmenting strength and vitality, relieving anger and easing frustrations.
What Chinese turquoise stone means is that these stones have come from Chinese mines. Its colors range from a deep green, through a lighter shade of blue, to a dark blue.

As with any other turquoise, Chinese turquoise jewelry can help with: healing, protection, emotional balance, and emotional peace.
Cultured opal has a very close relation to natural made opal. While nature makes opal over a longer period of time, cultured opal is made in the same way, but with a slight difference in its strength – cultured opal is more resistant to heat, grazing, and cracking.

Japanese cultured fire opal is, just like cultured opal, more resilient to accidental cracking, scratching or chipping.

The mother of pearl stone boasts with an almost indescribable color. Ever-shifting shades of off-white to pale pink, it is iridescent, and it delicately shines, giving the impression of a star rising through a cloudy sky. This stone actually comes from abalone and pearl oysters – it’s a coating made up of a blend of minerals that protects the shells.

The orange of the desert sand during a sunrise, the orange spiny oyster gemstone comes from, just like the name says, spiny oysters of the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. While they may come in different colors, most often they are red, orange, or purple. What’s unique about spiny oyster jewelry is that only the inside edge of the shell develops a color, so making a whole piece of jewelry demands more than a few shells.
Orange spiny oyster jewelry may help with: developing patience, heightening your sense of understanding, and also attuning you to the waves of the sea.
Like all spiny oysters, this one too comes from the deep seas and oceans. The oysters found under the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico come in a variety of colors – depending on their diet. The purple spiny oyster is somewhat different than the others – not only because it boasts a deep, rich violet color, but also because it’s found in deeper water, which makes it much harder to collect and transform into jewelry.
Pink Camel’s purple spiny oyster jewelry might help you with: developing your sense of understanding and patience.
Among many varieties of the spiny oyster shell, this one comes in a strong red. Found in the depths of the Atlantic ocean, Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico, this oyster is found, harvested and transformed into a variety of jewelry pieces – from earrings to necklaces.
