Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.

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.

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that are commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Apatite is named after the Greek word "apate," which means deceit, as it can be easily confused with other minerals due to its wide range of colors and forms. It can occur in various colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, and violet. 

Apatite is believed to possess healing properties and is associated with creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. It is thought to enhance communication skills, stimulate intellect, and promote clarity of thought.

This is a stunning Boxhole classified meteorite weighing 8.80 grams. Its dimensions are 21x15x9 mm. The Boxhole Meteorite fell according to E.M Shoemaker about 30,000 years ago. The Meteorite Crater is located approx. 290 km north east of Alice Springs, and about 300 m from the Homestead of Dneiper (Boxhole) Cattle Station. The meteorite crater was recognized during a geological survey of that area in June, 1937.

A number of iron fragments and shale balls were found then. Later, several larger masses were found, including one of 82 kg. The material is very similar to the Henbury meteorite. Prior to its fall, the Boxhole Meteorite would have been in one piece and perhaps the size of a 200 l drum. It would have accelerated to over 50,000 km/h, before entering the Earth's atmosphere. Travelling at such velocity, the atmosphere would not have appreciable reduced it's speed. Such a huge body, travelling so fast, slams into the ground with enough energy to produce an explosion like a nuclear bomb. This is what caused the huge crater at Boxhole, in front of a quarzite ridge, bowl-shaped, with a diameter of 178 m and a depth of approx. 16 m. More than 500 kilograms of meteorite fragments have since been collected at the site, the largest amount on record being in the South Australian Museum in Adelaide and weighing a total of 178 kilograms. The Natural History Museum in London counts for 84.7 kg.

Boxhole is classified as an iron meteorite, since it consists principally of metal, and is called a Medium Octahedrite, since it falls into about the middle range of nickel-iron alloy composition. It shows a partly recrystallised kamacite structure. Radiometric dating of the meteorite itself suggests an age of about 4.5 billion years, suggesting it was formed at the very beginning of the Solar System, and which makes it among the oldest material known to exist ( the oldest rocks being only half its age!). The metal of the meteorite is crystallised internally in a beautiful crisscross array, known as the Widmanstätten Pattern which is unique to iron meteorites, and develops because the meteorite has cooled from a molten state in zero gravity at a rate of only a few degrees per million years.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with 2 specimen cards.

Turquoise is known for its distinctive blue to greenish-blue color, often with veins or matrix patterns of other minerals like black or brown. The color can vary based on the presence of copper and iron.  It has been treasured for centuries by various cultures, including the Native American tribes, Tibetans, Egyptians and Persians.

Turquoise has a moderate hardness ranging from 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale. While it's durable enough for jewelry, it can be susceptible to scratches and damage from chemicals.

Turquoise is associated with protection, communication, and emotional balance. It is believed to have a calming effect and promote spiritual growth.
