Pseudomorphs are mineral specimens that have the external shape of one mineral but are composed of another.  The pseudomorph goethite after marcasite forms when marcasite is exposed to oxidizing conditions and starts to oxidize and break down. As the marcasite breaks down, goethite replaces it in the crystal structure, preserving the shape of the original marcasite crystal. The resulting specimen appears as a marcasite crystal, but is actually composed of goethite.

The Farafra Oasis, in the White Desert, has been known for a number of years to deliver incredible pseudomorph specimens. The pseudomorphs occur within the Cretaceous Khoman Chalk, from which the White Desert derives its name.

These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition.  This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.

Emeralds are prized for their vibrant green color which is caused by trace amounts of chromium, vanadium, and iron in the crystal structure of the gemstone.  On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, emeralds have a rating of 7.5 to 8. This means that while they are relatively durable, they are not as hard as some other gemstones like diamonds or sapphires.  Colombia is a famous source of emeralds, along with Zambia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Zimbabwe.

Emerald is believed to enhance love, compassion, and emotional healing, as well as promote mental clarity, intuition, and problem-solving abilities. Emerald is associated with balance, healing, prosperity, and abundance. It is also believed to aid in spiritual growth, connection, and protection against negative energies.
