These crystals are always treasured.

Celestite is said to be a stone that brings balance and alignment. The deep peace it holds is believed to assist in conflict resolution and in maintaining a harmonious atmosphere in times of stress.

Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral contained in nacre, with a microstructure inherited from the shell.  It is one of few biogenic gemstones; others include amber and pearl. In 1981, the year commercial mining of ammolite began, ammolite was given official gemstone status by the World Jewellery Confederation.

This is a must have 102.5 gram Impact Fallback Breccia from the famous Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. It's dimensions are 114x61x9mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection piece you'll ever own. 

About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space 9 kilometers in diameter, slammed into Canada a little north of Sudbury, Ontario creating the second largest impact structure on the earth. This impact was equivalent to a billion tons of TNT; an impact so great that it cracked the earth, in fact they still have earthquakes because of it today!

This is a specimen of Sudbury Black Onaping Breccia. Onaping is a lithified fallback breccia composed of melt glass and country target rock fragments. This meteorite impact created a large mushroom cloud that fell back down to earth to create this breccia. "Bucky Ball Fullerine" with terrestrial carbon in the form of C-60 and C-70 is found in this type of Sudbury impact rock. Greenish-Blueish dust covered Tektites can also be found within its matrix. The onaping forms in two layers. One layer is grey onaping and one layer is black onaping.

The many mineral rich deposits and strange rock formations in such close proximity has attracted attention for 100's of years, long before its impact origin was known, from Thomas Edison, who built a lab on site to NASA Moonwalker "Gene" Cernan, who studied and collected geology samples as part of his pre-moon mission training.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen cards. And to make it super special I've included a genuine meteorite metal label to display your unique and rare piece as a PRO.
