The distinctive "cat's eye" effect in this Chrysoberyl is caused by the reflection of light off parallel needle-like inclusions within the crystal. When the gem is cut en cabochon, a concentrated, bright band of light appears to move across the surface as the stone is rotated.

Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl comes in various colors, such as green, yellow, and golden-brown.  It is a durable gemstone, scoring 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it suitable for various types of jewelry.  Significant sources of Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl include Sri Lanka, Brazil, India, Myanmar, and Madagascar.

On March 4^th, 1960 at 1:06 a.m., a bright fireball, now know as the Bruderheim Meteorite, tore through Earth's atmosphere above Central Alberta. The meteorite travelled at 42 kilometres per second, its flash witnessed by hundreds of people as far away as the Rocky Mountain region of British Columbia. The giant meteorite detonated, creating a sound shock wave audible over 5,000 square kilometres. The sonic boom rattled windows, shook the foundations of homes, and startled families from their sleep. Shards of the stone rained down just north of Bruderheim, some forming pits as deep as 30 centimetres, many rebounding off the frozen ground and landing on the snow.

Based on eye-witness reports, it is believed that the Bruderheim Meteorite was first observed by Alexis Simon, a resident of the Paul’s Band Indian Reserve at Duffield, Alberta. He noted the north-easterly direction of the rock, its swift speed, and that it looked like it was giving off ‘flashes of fire’. He also described a rushing sound that resembled a high wind and lasted about 5 seconds after the fireball passed.

Hundreds of grit- and pebble-sized fragments of the meteorite were collected from the  river ice. Undoubtedly many thousands of small fragments were not seen against the black earth of fields and were plowed under as farmers prepared to seed their crops.

Nearly 700 meteorite fragments were found with a total weight of over 660 pounds—making it the largest recovered fall in Canadian history.  

This hard to acquire Bruderheim meteorite piece is a high quality crusted part slice specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Jensen Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is an excellent specimen from the world renowned location that is Mount Saint Hilaire. This beautiful crystal would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a beautiful, black Biotite crystal book from Córdoba. Spain. This biotite has a classic crystal shape and attractive dark coloration. 

Biotite is rarely considered a valuable mineral specimen, but it can accompany other minerals and compliment them. In Bancroft, Ontario Biotite forms large crystals with green apatite and hornblende. Single large plates or "books" of biotite can grow to considerable size and can make impressive mineral specimens.

This is a beautiful combination of Calcite and Stilbite on Apophyllite crystal cluster.

Calcite is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a "ubiquitous mineral" - one that is found everywhere. Calcite is the principal constituent of limestone and marble. Stilbite is perhaps the most popular zeolite mineral for collectors. Stilbite is a handsome specimen with its pearly luster and sometimes colorful pink tints.  Apophyllite is transparent to translucent and is commonly found in colorless or white varieties, although it can also occur in shades of green, pink, yellow, or brown.

This nice crystal specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
