1 Only

This rarely offered specimen shows a group of minerals and crystals from the Aris Querries in Namibia . The grouping includes multiples of well defined Makatite white hairs, brown to green fibers of tupperssautsiatite, black neptunite, bastneasite and pink villiaumite in a vug of a phonolite host rock matrix.  It also appears that small apophyllite crystals are present in this amazing specimen.

Makatite is a rare hydrated sodium silicate found in Namibia's unique intrusive phonolite deposits. These uncommon geological formations have produced some of the finest and most sought-after makatite crystals known. This piece is excellent for the species with groups of silky white tufts of hair-like crystals at the tip of the specimen. The sprays are well defined and easy to see. The white sprays make a great contrast with the gray phonolite.  Add the other visible variety of crystals and you have a unique and amazing specimen.  This is a rare and excellent cabinet sized piece from this locality.

Myanmar Ruby & Spessartine Garnet

I ordered a Myanmar ruby of 1.85 ct. and a 1.2 ct. garnet. They processed my order the same day and the package showed up at home only two business days later. Beautiful gems, beautifully presented and excellent service. The website is a joy to peruse. I immediately ordered half a dozen more for a birthstone project. The best source i found for stones in Canada. Thanks Laura & Jean!

Wow

It wasn't until I got a new UV light that I was able to see the amazing colour of this flourite. The specimen is very attractive in natural light, and crazy beautiful under 254nm UV! I love it!
