Astrophyllite is a striking and rare mineral known for its bronze to golden-bladed crystals that radiate like starbursts, often embedded in a dark matrix of other minerals. The name comes from Greek, meaning “star leaf,” referring to its star-like crystal formations. It is found in locations such as Russia, Norway, Greenland, and Canada. This specimen of Astrophyllite crystals originates from the world famous site of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec.
Astrophyllite is often seen as a stone of inner illumination and self-discovery. Some believe it helps reveal hidden potential and encourages personal truth, making it a supportive companion during times of change or reflection. It’s sometimes associated with letting go of the past and embracing a more authentic path forward.
This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well. Make this a special specimen in your collection.

Polylithionite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, represent a classic mineral association from one of the world's most important alkaline intrusive complexes. Polylithionite is a rare lithium-rich mica that typically forms thin, lustrous hexagonal plates or rosettes with a silvery, pearly, or pale bronze appearance. It commonly occurs alongside Aegirine, which develops as long, dark green to black prismatic crystals Aegirine crystals that are often sharply terminated and may occur individually or in radiating spray. The contrasting crystal habits and colors create an attractive natural association that is characteristic of Mont Saint-Hilaire.
Specimens containing Polylithionite and Aegirine are valued for illustrating the unique mineral-forming environment of this geologically significant Canadian locality. It is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!

Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral contained in nacre, with a microstructure inherited from the shell. It is one of few biogenic gemstones; others include amber and pearl. In 1981, the year commercial mining of ammolite began, ammolite was given official gemstone status by the World Jewellery Confederation.

These are perfect rosettes of metallic molybdenite, almost completely exposed in a glassy quartz matrix crystals from Moly Hill, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Québec, Canada. The pair of rosettes measure 17mm in length.
Molybdenite is commonly found as foliated masses meaning the mineral forms folia or layers, like the mineral mica. It is metallic gray, has a greasy feel, and is very soft at only 1 on Mohs' hardness scale. Its softness, metallic luster and gray color led scientists to mistakenly believe it was a lead mineral. This specimen shows the typical hexagonal layered structure of the crystal.
Some believe molybdenite is linked to intuition, transformation, and problem-solving, helping with mental clarity and adaptability. It is sometimes associated with the third eye chakra, thought to enhance insight and creative thinking.

This is a must have 59.5 gram Metal Ore Copper rich Impact Breccia from the famous Sudbury Astrobleme Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 52x31x13 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own.
Mark Bostick wrote "About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space nine kilometers in diameter slammed into Canada, a little north of Sudbury, Ontario creating the second largest impact structure on the earth. This impact was equivalent to a billion tons of TNT. An impact so big it cracked the earth, and in fact there are still earthquakes because of that event today! The many mineral rich deposits and strange rock formations in such close proximity has attracted attention for 100's of years, long before its impact origin was known.
Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by the impact of a very large meteorite. This came from the ring of the impact and is the harder to find gold-copper-bronze colored impactite described as a metal-rich breccia and sulfides composed chiefly of some amount of iridium, cobalt & selenium. In addition, most of these specimens will contain nickel, iron, sperrylite and pentlandite as well as minor amounts of other metals, metallic & silicate minerals."
Note that this is a very fragile material so it will be packed with attention. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a copy of a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
