This is a 45.4 gram lot of beautiful tumbled Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan. There are 5 pieces that range in size from approximately 21-33x12-19 mm. This is the exact lot that you will receive.
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. It 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 is believed to promote self-awareness and mental clarity.

This is a superb looking part slice of Sahara Desert NWA 2663 meteorite. It weighs 5.1 grams and measures 28x24x3 mm. Although still considered unclassified, this meteorite was given the provisional class of CO3.1.
This is a great specimen with many multicolored chondrules and CAIs. It's a Ted Bunch meteorite but unfortunately this find was never fully submitted for analysis. It is a shame for this particular specimen, as it is just special.
This piece displays extremely well with its professionally finished cut face. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Thuathe Meteorite | 2.88 gr | Part Slice | H4-5 Chondrite | Observed Fall | Lesotho
This is a great looking complete slice of the Thuathe H4-5 classified meteorite. It weighs 2.88 grams and measures 26x14x3 mm.
A meteorite travelling east to west exploded over Lesotho producing an elliptical strewn field extending 7.4 by 1.9 km (bearing: ~276°) on the westernmost lobe of the Thuathe (or Berea) Plateau, ~12 km east of the capital city of Maseru.
The explosion was accompanied by an extraordinarily loud, 15 s long noise which was heard over a large (100 km radius) area of Lesotho; the fall was eye-witnessed by several people who reported sightings of dust trails of “sparkling objects” over Lesotho and the southern part of the Free State Province of South Africa. Many villagers of Ha Ralimo, Boqate Ha Majara, and Boqate Ha Sofonia reported falls of stones close to themselves and onto their homes. The estimated total mass of recovered material is ~30 kg, including 418 stones in the 2 g to 2.4 kg mass range for a total of 24.673 kg which were collected and catalogued by A. Ashworth and David P. Ambrose
Most freshly cut slices from several stones show a homogeneous beige to light-grey lithology speckled with abundant and heterogeneously distributed (20% to, in exceptional cases, >50 vol%) metal particles; some are crosscut by dark shock veinlets and show brecciated structure with light grey matrix surrounding lighter colored, well-rounded inclusions; chondrules distinctly recognizable.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a protective case, and includes a Baitylia Meteorite Collection and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.
