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.

Wavellite is best known for its radiating, spherical crystal formations, often appearing as green, yellow, brown, or even blue clusters on a host rock. The mineral typically forms in low-grade metamorphic rocks and phosphate-rich environments, often associated with minerals like quartz, variscite, and limonite.

Wavellite is found in several locations worldwide, with Arkansas, USA being one of the most famous sources, producing well-formed green botryoidal specimens. Other notable locations include England, Bolivia, Brazil, Germany, and Australia.

It is believe wavellite is linked to clarity, insight, and emotional balance, helping to provide a broader perspective on situations. It is sometimes associated with the heart chakra, thought to encourage compassion and emotional healing. Due to its radiating crystal structure, it is also seen as a symbol of energy expansion and awareness.

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. 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.

Vanadinite crystals are small, hexagonal prismatic crystals that are typically red to brownish-red in color. They have a bright luster and a transparent to translucent appearance. The crystals often form in aggregates, creating intricate and interesting formations.  Vanadinite would hardly be as famous if not for the outstanding locality of Mibladen, Morocco. This locality has by far produced the most outstanding crystals of beautiful color and form. 

Vanadinite is believed to enhance vitality, motivation, and manifestation, while also promoting clarity, focus, and protection from negativity.

This is a lovely pink Stilbite specimen from Parsboro, Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was collected in 2002 and is a miniature size group of well terminated crystals with nice sharp edges. 

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. 

Stilbite is believed to have soothing and spiritually uplifting qualities, often associated with promoting emotional healing, inner peace, and mental clarity. Many consider it helpful for enhancing spiritual connection, deepening meditation, and supporting dream recall or lucid dreaming. Often linked to the heart chakra, it is thought to encourage love, compassion, and the release of emotional wounds. Stilbite may assist in navigating transitions, amplifying the energy of other crystals, and fostering a calming environment by shifting negative energy into positive vibrations.

Peruvian pyrite is famous worldwide for its well-formed, highly lustrous crystals. The country is one of the top sources for high-quality pyrite specimens, particularly from the Huanzala Mine in the Áncash Region and the Quiruvilca Mine in La Libertad. These locations produce stunning pyritohedral crystals, often found in association with quartz, sphalerite, and galena.

The term “pyritohedral” refers to a specific crystal habit that pyrite (and occasionally other minerals) can form. In this structure, the crystal takes on a polyhedral shape with 12 faces. However, unlike a perfectly symmetrical shape with identical pentagonal faces, natural pyritohedral crystals often exhibit slight irregularities or distortions in their faces.

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This top Peruvian specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Specimen Size:  Cabinet-Sized
Dimensions: 66x47x34 mm / 2.6x1.8x1.3 inches

This specimen shows a group of well-shaped emerald-green dioptase crystals on pearly white calcite crystals . Dioptase is an uncommon copper mineral prized for its intense green colour. It is found in only a few copper mines world-wide, but the best examples come from Tsumeb, Namibia.

The Tsumeb Mine, one of the most famous mineral localities globally, produced dioptase with deep green hues, high clarity, and sharp crystal formations. Unlike dioptase from other locations, Tsumeb specimens often occur on a contrasting white calcite matrix, enhancing their visual appeal.

The Tsumeb Mine in Namibia is no longer actively producing dioptase. The mine, which was one of the world’s most famous mineral localities, ceased large-scale operations in the 1990s. While some minerals can still be found from old stockpiles, no new dioptase specimens are being extracted from the mine today.  This makes Tsumeb dioptase highly collectible, as no fresh supply is entering the market. Existing specimens, especially those with deep color, good transparency, and well-formed crystals on matrix, are increasingly rare and valuable among collectors

Dioptase is often associated with emotional healing, forgiveness, and heart chakra energy. Some believe it encourages letting go of past wounds and embracing compassion. It is also thought to promote inner clarity and transformation, making it popular for personal growth and emotional balance.
