This is a rare and fantastic 6 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 40x14x14 mm. 

Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites​. Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.

Moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds for jewelry.  Moissanites have a similar appearance to diamonds and often look nearly identical to the untrained eye. They share the brilliance, sparkle, and fire that diamonds are known for, making them an attractive choice. With moissanite, it is possible to have a beautiful gemstone for a fraction of the price of a diamond.  Moissanites are primarily produced in laboratories, offering a controlled and consistent quality. This aspect appeals to those who prefer gemstones with known origins and minimal environmental impact.

Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, Moissanite is well known worldwide as the world’s most brilliant gemstone, better than diamonds. Moissanite is incredibly rare in its natural form; however, lab created moissanite is identical to the original with hardness second only to diamond.  Moissanites have a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while  diamonds are a 10.  This makes moissanite suitable for everyday wear and less prone to scratching or damage.

This sparkling round cut green moissanite is a great choice for any jewelry project.

Specimen Size:  Miniature-Sized
Dimensions:  55x42x28 mm / 2.2x1.6x1.1 inches
Weight:  71.3 Grams / 2.5 ounces
Origin: Mined in Minas Gerais, Brazil

This is a specimen of Star Mica or Muscovite and Quartz cluster.  These clusters show crystals that grow in sheets or book formations.  It is silvery gold with good transparency when held up to the light.  The name Muscovite comes from the term Muscovy Glass which was a name for the thick sheets of Mica used as a substitute for glass Russia. The name Mica is derived from the Greek word that means to split.

On this nice specimen, the matrix faces are covered with beautiful golden yellow point stars of muscovite mica, a typical shape for this rare mica formation. The stars are the result of twinning; the points show a bit of wear but this does not detract from the beauty of such a piece.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It is one of the most popular gemstones due to its beautiful color.  Amethyst ranges in color from light purple to deep violet. The color is caused by impurities of iron within the quartz crystal.  Amethyst can be found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia, and the United States.

Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness, ward off negative energies, promote balance and relaxation, and improve intuitive and psychic abilities. Amethyst is also thought to enhance mental clarity and focus.

Henbury fell 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, Australia almost 10,000 years ago. RA Alderman investigated the site in May 1931 based upon Aborigine stories. He found 13 craters, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Few meteorites were found in the largest three craters indicating an explosive impact. Some of the Henbury meteorites are shrapnel shaped indicating this explosive ending and some have smooth edges indicating abrasion by an atmospheric passage.
