This is a beautiful piece of natural Agate from Uruguay.  It is finely polished on both sides and features finely banded shades of beige turning to blue depending on the angle of the light.  The banded patterns and color variations in Agate make each piece unique and visually striking.  To see the true beauty of this slice of Agate, it should be displayed with a light source behind it.

Agate is formed within cavities of volcanic rocks through a process of mineral deposition over time. As silica-rich water flows through these cavities, it gradually deposits layers of microcrystalline quartz, which give rise to the characteristic banded appearance. The colors and patterns in Agate can vary depending on the types of minerals present during the formation process.  Uruguay is known for producing high-quality Agate specimens, and the country has a rich history of Agate mining and craftsmanship.

Agate is renowned for its calming energies, making it a perfect addition to spaces meant for relaxation and rejuvenation. Placing Agate slices or decor in areas like bedrooms, meditation corners, or living spaces can help create an atmosphere of tranquility, fostering a sense of peace and balance.  Agate is said to promote emotional stability, enhance mental clarity, and encourage a positive outlook.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

This piece has been cut to show the green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.

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.

This is a superb specimen of a Nantan meteorite individual, directly from Guangxi, China. Its dimensions are 62x39x38 mm. 

The Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

This is a fragment of Meteoritic shale (highly oxidized piece) of a Mundrabilla classified meteorite.  It weighs 5.68 Grams and measuring 24x15x10 mm.  This Iron IAB-ung classified meteorite was found in the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia in 1911 with so far approximately 24 tons of this material having been recovered.

The meteorites were found  by geologists R. B. Wilson and A. M. Cooney while engaged on a geological survey. Both masses are lying within only very slight depressions in clayey soil, some 180 m apart. The larger mass tends to have a crude conical to hemispherical shape with the nose partially buried in the soil. The axis is inclined at an angle of approximately 60°. Evidence of fragmentation of a larger mass is afforded by a sharp, angular, vertical face on the larger mass, which matches both in size and shape, a similar sharp face on the smaller mass. Preliminary study indicates that the meteorite came from the west at relatively low velocity and high angle. The larger mass has been presented to the Western Australian Museum, while the smaller mass is in Geosurveys possession (Adelaide, South Australia).

The state of this meteorite happened when large pieces that are oxidized, dropped pieces off once the iron rusted away. All of these shale pieces are from the main crater (of the 12 ton specimen) meaning that they came from the largest piece of this meteorite known.  This particular specimen is from the Michael Farmer Meteorite Collection.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem specimen card and a Michael Farmer Meteorites card.
