Crystals & Minerals

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

This piece has been cut to show the green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.  

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

A pseudomorph occurs when one mineral replaces another but retains the original mineral's crystal structure. In the case of turquoise after apatite pseudomorph, turquoise  replaces apatite, but it still retains apatite's crystal shape.

This process leads to a visually fascinating specimen where the exterior shape looks like apatite crystals, but the composition and color are distinctly turquoise, often with the bright blue or green shades typical of turquoise.

This is a stunning thumbnail sized specimen of Quartz and Hydroxylherderite.  There are many fully terminated quartz point, some of them surrounding the Hydroxylherderite.  Some crystallized pyrite is visible on the bottom of the cluster.

Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. It typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. Quartz is transparent to translucent. 

Hydroxylherderite is a relatively rare mineral that belongs to the phosphate mineral group. It is comes in a variety of colours: Colourless, gray, brown, pale yellow, greenish white, light blue, and purple.  Notable occurrences of Hydroxylherderite include Brazil, Afghanistan, and the United States.

This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
