This is an etched part slice of the Gibeon classified meteorite mounted on a Sterling Silver medallion, made by an artisan from Mexico. The Widmanstatten pattern on this Gibeon stands out remarkably, making for an eye catching pendant. The thin part slice measures 11x7 mm and is placed onto a silver medallion measuring 34x18x2mm.  The total weight of this pendant, including meteorite and silver, is 13 grams.  This Iron (IAV) classified meteorite was found in Great Nama Land Namibia in 1836.  So far approximately 26 T of this material have been recovered.

Gibeon pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.  Comes with a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

Labradorite is an unusual mineral. It can display a beautiful iridescent play of colors, caused by internal fractures in the mineral that reflect light back and forth, dispersing it into different colors. This effect, known as labradorescence, gives Labradorite its appeal and fame.

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.

Lapis lazuli is a vivid blue metamorphic rock and a gemstone that has been prized for its intense color and historical significance for thousands of years.  It's composed of lazurite (for the blue color), calcite, sodalite, and pyrite. It is the presence of pyrite that causes the gold-colored flecks or veins in the stone.  Lapis lazuli has a moderate hardness, typically ranging from 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale.  High-quality lapis lazuli has been historically sourced from mines in Afghanistan; however, other deposits are found in countries such as Russia, Chile, Italy, and the United States.

Lapis lazuli has been used for various purposes throughout history. It has been highly prized for ornamental and decorative purposes, including as a gemstone in jewelry and art. The ancient Egyptians used lapis lazuli in the creation of jewelry, amulets, and cosmetics. The pigment ultramarine, derived from lapis lazuli, was highly valued by Renaissance painters.

Lapis lazuli is believed to promote self-awareness and mental clarity.

The most distinctive feature of labradorite is its labradorescence, a play of colors that includes hues such as blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. This effect is caused by the interference of light within the layers of the stone, often likened to the shimmering of the Northern Lights.  In Inuit folklore, labradorite is believed to have fallen from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis, explaining its incredible play of color.

Labradorite is found in various locations around the world, including Canada, Finland, Madagascar, Norway, and Russia.

Labradorite is believed to enhance intuition, provide protection from negative energies, and promote a sense of balance and self-discovery.
