This is a set of five chalcopyrite crystals displaying varying cubic formations.  Chalcopyrite is a brassy yellow copper iron sulfide mineral and the primary ore of copper worldwide. It has a metallic luster and often develops an iridescent tarnish in shades of purple, blue, and green. Chalcopyrite often forms alongside minerals like quartz, pyrite, and sphalerite.

Some believe chalcopyrite is a stone of abundance and transformation, helping to clear energy blockages and inspire creativity. Its vibrant tarnish colors are thought to symbolize change and new opportunities.

These top specimens are in very good condition and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a crystal combining Dolomite and Chalcopyrite.  The lovely, light pink blades of dolomite are will defined on this specimen and are covered in tiny chalcopyrite crystals.

Dolomite from the Joplin Mine in Joplin, Missouri, is well-known for its saddle-shaped crystal formations and association with other minerals like galena, sphalerite, marcasite and less frequently Chalcopyrite. The dolomite from this area typically forms in shades of white, beige, yellow, or pink, often with a pearly to slightly curved crystal habit.

Dolomite is often associated with stability, patience, and emotional balance. Some believe it encourages a sense of calm and centeredness.

This is very nice, showy material in excellent condition, a great addition to any collection.

This is a sculpted plate of Limonite after Pyrite.  Limonite after pyrite is a type of pseudomorph, meaning limonite has replaced the original pyrite crystal structure while keeping its shape. This occurs when pyrite oxidizes over time, often in the presence of water and oxygen, transforming into limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides. The result is a rusty brown to yellowish mineral that retains pyrite’s cubic or pyritohedral shape but with a softer, earthy texture.

It believed that limonite after pyrite combines pyrite’s energy of strength and manifestation with limonite’s grounding and protective qualities. It is sometimes associated with stability, resilience, and transformation, symbolizing the ability to adapt and grow through life’s changes.

This is a great thumbnail sized Limonite after Pyrite pseudomorph specimen from Spain.

This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine in Asbestos, Québec, Canada. The specimen is made up of a combination of green and mauve vesuvianite crystals also named violet manganoan vesuvianite. It is a large specimen in good condition. A great addition to any collection!

Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.

This is a fabulous specimen of bladed kyanite and quartz mined in Barra do Salinas district, Barra do Salinas, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Kyanite is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world, frequently found with lustrous blue bladed crystals, with the intensity of color varying by location of extraction. Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

Blue kyanite is often associated with clarity, communication, and energy alignment. Some believe it helps with self-expression and speaking one’s truth, making it a popular stone for those who want to improve communication or deepen their intuition.

Serpentinite is a rock composed of one or more serpentine group minerals and is named after the Latin word "serpens" meaning a serpent, alluding to the appearance of snake skin.  Minerals in this group are rich in magnesium and water and are light to dark green. They are formed by serpentinization, a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth's mantle. 

Serpentinite is thought to aid in grounding, protection, and clearing negative energy. It is believed to help with emotional resilience and spiritual transformation, making it a favored stone for balancing energy and navigating life changes.

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.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
