Product Type:  Akoya Pearl (South Sea Color)
Size: 7.7mm  (3.50ct)
Shape: Round Half Drilled (Imperfect)
Color: Black, Opaque, Natural Luster 
Origin:  Japan

Black Akoya pearls are a variety of cultured pearls grown in the Pinctada fucata oyster, primarily in Japan and China. Known for their deep, rich hues—ranging from charcoal and black to shades of blue, green, or silver—these pearls are not naturally dark but are treated through dyeing or irradiation to achieve their striking coloration.

Despite this enhancement, they retain the signature high luster and mirror-like shine that make Akoya pearls so prized. Typically ranging in size from 6 to 9 mm, with occasional specimens reaching 10 mm, black Akoya pearls offer a sophisticated twist on the classic pearl look. Their round shape and intense shine give them a dramatic edge.

Comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Aegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world, and this outstanding specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount Saint Hilaire, where it is often found in association with Microcline.

Aegirine is usually black, greenish-black, or brownish-black in color and has a glassy or vitreous luster. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively hard and durable. Aegirine is also known for its straight, needle-like crystals that can grow up to several centimeters in length.  

Microcline, a member of the feldspar mineral family, is known for its beautiful color variations and distinctive twinning patterns. When paired with Aegirine, the result is a striking and eye-catching contrast of colors.

Aegirine is believed to have properties associated with protection, energy balancing, and spiritual growth. Microcline, being a feldspar, is often linked to creativity and intuition. The combination of these minerals is thought to enhance their individual metaphysical properties.

This Aegirine on Microcline crystal is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!

This is a great looking complete slice of the Thuathe H4-5 classified meteorite.  It weighs 8.29 grams and measures 36x30x4 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 Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

Labradorite is an unusual mineral. It can display a beautiful iridescent play of colors, caused by internal fractures in the mineral that reflect light back and forth, dispersing it into different colors. This effect, known as labradorescence, gives Labradorite its appeal and fame.

Iceland Spar, also known as optical calcite, is a clear, transparent variety of calcite famous for its unique optical property called double refraction. When you place the crystal over text or an image, it appears doubled — a visual effect that occurs because light splits into two rays as it passes through the crystal. This fascinating trait made Iceland spar historically important in early optical instruments and scientific studies, including navigation and the development of polarizing microscopes.

It’s typically colorless or very lightly tinted and forms naturally in sharp, rhombohedral shapes. High-quality Iceland spar is most famously found in Iceland, though it also occurs in places like Mexico, the U.S., and China.

Iceland Spar (optical calcite) is often associated with clarity, insight, and truth. Because of its double refraction property, some see it as a symbol of seeing beyond surface appearances — helping to highlight different perspectives or reveal hidden aspects of a situation. It's thought to support clear thinking and honest communication, making it a favorite for meditation or decision-making spaces.

This is a great looking part slice of the Cole Creek H5 Chondrite classified meteorite.  The slice weighs 0.45 grams and measures 12x7x1 mm.  

A mass of 16.3 kg was found January 1, 1991 by Clay Fowler; it was exposed about two feet below the surface in an old road cut. The cavity from which the stone was removed is covered by a thin layer of undisturbed modern soil, inspection of the find site by V. L. Souders, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Olivine Fa18.5, analysis and classification, A. Brearly, Dept. of Geology and Institute of Meteoritics, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, USA. Information by A. W.

This is a great looking part slice of the Kabo H4 classified meteorite.  It weighs 0.75 grams and measures 11x9x2 mm. The Kabo meteorite fell on April 25, 1971, at about 4:30 p.m. local time (1530 GMT), in Kabo, Gwarzo District, Kano State, Nigeria.  The total known weight of the meteorite is 13.4 kg.

The shower occurred on a Sunday afternoon while farmers were in their fields. Sound directions and crater asymmetry indicated that the meteorite approached from the west. "Thunder-like sounds were heard consecutively and these were followed by the inclined descent of a reddish object with trails of cloudy smoke following it". During the following week the District Head collected the specimens and forwarded them to the Emir of Kano. One specimen was recovered in two pieces of about 3 kg each, one stone weighed over 5 kg, one almost 3 kg, and the smallest 0.9 kg.

The specimen comes with a Michael Cottingham Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
