This is a nice fossilized Trilobite in host rock from Morocco.  Trilobites are the most diverse group of extinct animals preserved in the fossil record. Nine orders of trilobite are recognized, into which 15,000+ species are placed. Trilobites are remarkable, hard-shelled, segmented creatures that existed over 300 million years ago in the Earth's ancient seas. They went extinct before dinosaurs even came into existence, and are one of the key signature creatures of the Paleozoic Era, the first era to exhibit a proliferation of the complex life-forms that established the foundation of life as it is today. Although dinosaurs are the most well-known fossil life forms, trilobites are also a favorite among those familiar with Paleontology (the study of the development of life on Earth), and are found in the rocks of all continents.

The Trilobite itself measures 12x14 mm, the entire host rock is 58x53 mm.  This specimen is great as a teaching tool in the home or in the classroom, or as a gift.   It can also be used for science projects and other types craft displays.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Crackle quartz, also known as fire quartz or ice quartz, is a type of quartz that has been treated to create a distinctive cracked or shattered appearance within the crystal.  This treatment is done by heating the quartz crystals and then rapidly cooling them, which results in the development of internal fissures.  The cracks within the quartz can vary in size and pattern, creating a shattered or broken appearance. The fractures often resemble ice or fire, giving rise to the alternative names ice quartz and fire quartz.

Crackle quartz is available in various colors, and the treatment process can enhance or alter the natural color of the quartz. Common colors include clear, white, smoky, or even vibrant hues like pink, blue, or green.

Gaspeite is a rare nickel carbonate mineral discovered in the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, Canada, in 1966. It is known for its vibrant green color, ranging from pale to intense green. Found primarily in Western Australia and associated with nickel deposits, gaspeite is used in jewelry, typically cut into cabochons or beads. It is believed to aid with healing and balancing energies, particularly related to the heart and solar plexus chakras.

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.

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.
