This is a sharp, beautiful, black Biotite crystal book from the Calcite Vein-Dikes of the Grenville Geological Province Ontario, Canada. This biotite has classic crystal shape and attractive dark black coloration. This specimen is a great example of both,
Biotite is rarely considered a valuable mineral specimen, but it can accompany other minerals and compliment them. In Bancroft, Ontario Biotite forms large crystals with green apatite and hornblende. Single large plates or "books" of biotite can grow to considerable size and can make impressive mineral specimens.
This is a must have 9.58-gram Metal Ore Copper rich Impact Breccia from the famous Sudbury Astrobleme Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 32x16x9 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own.
Mark Bostick wrote "About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space nine 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 big it cracked the earth, and in fact there are still earthquakes because of that event today! 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.
Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by the impact of a very large meteorite. This came from the ring of the impact and is the harder to find gold-copper-bronze colored impactite described as a metal-rich breccia and sulfides composed chiefly of some amount of iridium, cobalt & selenium. In addition, most of these specimens will contain nickel, iron, sperrylite and pentlandite as well as minor amounts of other metals, metallic & silicate minerals."
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is from Tanco mine, a beautiful combination of a nicely formed and colorless(white) Spodumene on top of Quartz matrix. This fabulous specimen is fluorescent under UV light.
Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral and is a source of lithium. It occurs as colorless to yellowish Triphane, purplish or lilac kunzite, yellowish-green or emerald-green hiddenite, prismatic crystals, often of great size with single crystals of up to 14.3 m (47 ft) in size being reported.
Kunzite is the best-known variety of the mineral spodumene. Kunzite gets its delicate color from trace amounts of manganese.
Product Type: Spodumene on Quartz Crystal

This is a very fine green Apophyllite with Stilbite from Parsboro, Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is one of the rare green specimens which was collected in the 2002, and is a quality specimen.
One of the distinguishing features of apophyllite is its ability to form well-defined crystals with a pyramid-like shape. These crystals often exhibit a prismatic or pseudo-cubic habit and have a vitreous luster. Apophyllite is transparent to translucent and is commonly found in colorless or white varieties, although it can also occur in shades of green, pink, yellow, or brown.
Stilbite is a zeolite mineral appreciated for its delicate crystal formations and pastel hues, ranging from colorless to white, yellow, pink, and peach. It forms distinctive tabular crystals with a bowtie or butterfly shape and exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Commonly found in cavities in volcanic rocks, stilbite is often associated with other zeolite minerals.
