This is a lovely thumbnail specimen of Pyrite from Nikitovka, Ukraine.  The pyrite found in this region typically occurs as metallic brassy masses, granular aggregates, and smaller crystal groupings. Unlike the sharp cubic pyrite crystals from Spain or Peru that collectors often recognize immediately, Nikitovka pyrite is more valued for its geological association with mercury minerals than for dramatic crystal form.

These are attractive and colourful specimens of calcite crystals from Mexico.  Calcite is one of the most common and varied minerals on Earth, prized for its wide range of colours and crystal formations.  Some of the most popular varieties include orange, blue, green, honey, red, black and pink mangano calcite.  In this lot, you have 4 of these colours.

Many people associate coloured calcites with cleansing, emotional balance, and energy amplification. Different colours are believed to carry different energetic qualities:

• Orange - creativity, confidence, and motivation.
• Blue - calm communication and emotional soothing.
• Green - growth, renewal, and heart-centered healing.
  
• Honey calcite - focus, personal power, and learning.

These are fragments of the Allende meteorite that fell in Pueblito de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico at 1:05 am on February 8, 1969. 

The Allende is a very rare type of meteorite CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite, Type III and is 1 of 592 approved meteorites classified as CV3.  These fragments weigh 0.05 grams.

The known total weight is approximately 2 Tons. The huge fireball lighted up thousands of square miles of Northern Mexico and Southwestern United States. The fireball travelled from south to north. A meteorite shower spread over 50 square kilometers area. There are several pits; the biggest one is 60 cm across and 15 cm deep. Search and preliminary investigation of the meteorites were carried out by Dr. E. King (NASA), Drs. B. Mason and R. Clarke (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, USA) and others. 

Would make a great addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come in a gem jar with a Canagem® Collection Specimen Cards.

It's a good quality NWA meteorite individual fragment. Some weathering shows the meteorite's time spent aging in the desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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.
