Sodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite. Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring.

Rainforest Jasper is a unique gemstone known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns.  Also referred to as Rainforest Rhyolite, it is a type of volcanic rock that belongs to the Rhyolite family. It is primarily composed of silica-rich minerals, including quartz and feldspar, which contribute to its striking appearance. The stone typically features a mix of greens, browns, creams, and occasional reds, forming intricate, mosaic-like patterns.  Rainforest Jasper forms through the solidification of rhyolitic lava, which traps gas bubbles filled with siliceous materials during the cooling process. This results in the unique patterns and colors characteristic of the stone.  It is predominantly found in Queensland, Australia, where it is mined from volcanic deposits. . 

Rainforest jasper is believed to promote a deep connection to nature, emotional balance, and personal renewal, carrying a gentle, grounding energy that supports growth and transformation. Associated with the heart chakra, it’s thought to encourage compassion, joy, and optimism while helping release old emotional patterns, reduce stress, and inspire creativity and a fresh perspective.

This is a great fragment of the NWA 1459  meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite-olivine. It weighs 0.044 grams. This rare meteorite was found in April of 2002, and called by the Hupe the world's rarest classification as an Olivine Diogenite. 

Mr Hupe said at the time:  "This meteorite featured in the October 2002 issue of Meteorite! Magazine represents the first non-Antarctic meteorite to fall into this exclusive group. A total known weight of 49 grams is officially recorded for this find. Being millions of times rarer than diamond, extreme patience was exercised for the cutting operation. About two and a half grams was lost during the first cut and polishing because we did not possess knowledge of its extreme rarity at that time. Another one and a half grams was provided to four contest winners and a web site promoter. Trying to preserve a main mass of 30 plus grams will leave less than two grams available for private purchase unless a contest winner is willing to part with some of their material. This specimen running on eBay may be your only opportunity to add the world's rarest class to your type specimen collection. Remember, there is no other type of meteorite available in the world that can come close to the rarity represented by this specimen not even a Chassignite, an Angrite or even a Lodranite."

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a display box and is accompanied by a Hupe Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
