This a lovely pair of fossilized, and highly polished natural Orthoceras from Morocco.  They  measure 37x11 mm each and have a total weight of 7.7 grams.  Orthoceras ("straight horn") is a genus of extinct cephalopod. This genus is sometimes called Orthoceratites. Note it is sometimes misspelled as Orthocera, Orthocerus or Orthoceros. Orthoceras are common fossils and have been found on many continents, including the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. They are dated to the lower Ordovician to Triassic ages (500 to 190 millions years ago). They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. 

Orthoceras fossils are great as a collectors item or can be used for jewelry making.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs. 

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Chabazite is known for its distinctive crystal structure and its occurrence in a variety of geological environments. Its crystal structure consists of interconnected channels and cavities.  Chabazite is found in various locations around the world, including Italy, Iceland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, the United States (especially in the Pacific Northwest), Canada, India, and Australia. Different localities may produce chabazite crystals with varying colors and characteristics.

These chabazite crystals are from Wasson’s Bluff, Nova Scotia, Canada.  Wasson's Bluff is recognized as producing great specimens with colors varying from pink to orange to red.  This zone has seen collection of specimens almost exhausted due to the ground erosion.  These particular specimens are a lovely orangey color and are in very good condition.  Make these a special specimen pair in your collection.
