Did you know that everything in the Universe is made up of elements, including you? The elements were formed in the stars when the Universe was formed. Every star is like a giant nuclear reactor that fuses atoms together to make elements. An element contains only one type of atom. A common crystal is quartz, which is made up of silicon dioxide molecules arranged in a lattice. Another common crystal is table salt, which is made up of sodium and chlorine ions arranged in a lattice. The silicon that computers chips are made of is a crystal (a lattice of silicon atoms) .

Crystals are like diamonds. Some are more beautiful and some are more rare so they all have a different price tag. We try and find crystals that are A grade quality which means you may find some of them cheaper elsewhere but they are not the same quality.
