This premium specimen from Preissac Mine displays multiple perfect rosettes of metallic molybdenite and some greenish-gray flaky mica (likely muscovite or biotite) surrounding parts of the specimen crystals on feldspar matrix.  The rosettes measure approximately 15-23 mm in length.

Molybdenite is commonly found as foliated masses meaning the mineral forms folia or layers, like the mineral mica. It is metallic gray, has a greasy feel, and is very soft at only 1 on Mohs' hardness scale. Its softness, metallic luster and gray color led scientists to mistakenly believe it was a lead mineral. This specimen shows the typical hexagonal layered structure of the crystal.

Some believe molybdenite is linked to intuition, transformation, and problem-solving, helping with mental clarity and adaptability. It is sometimes associated with the third eye chakra, thought to enhance insight and creative thinking.

Unakite typically exhibits a mix of pink to salmon-colored feldspar, green epidote, and clear to milky quartz. The colors are often mottled or speckled, creating a unique and earthy appearance. Unakite is named after the Unaka Mountains in North Carolina, USA, where it was first discovered.

Unakite has a hardness ranging from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for use in jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures.

Unakite is associated with emotional healing, balance, and patience. It is believed to help release deep-seated emotions and promote a sense of tranquility and well-being.

This is a fantastic crusted 4.34 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 17x13x12 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

This is a beautiful and ultra rare Cosalite crystal from British Columbia, Canada.  Cosalite from the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine in Wells, BC's historic Cariboo Mining Division, is one of Canada’s most significant localities for this mineral.  Cosalite is a rare lead‑bismuth sulfosalt prized for its silvery‑grey metallic lathes, often associated with native gold, pyrite, and quartz.  This specimen comes from the collection of Alexander U. Falster and includes also a previous owner label.

This bright silvery cosalite crystals displays some pyrite and possibly minor gold specs in a contrasting white quartz matrix.  Many Cariboo Cosalite specimens are historical finds, reportedly collected in the 1940s and passed down through collectors.
