These are perfectly fossilized and highly polished natural Ammonites from Morocco, which are perfect for gift giving to a new fossil collector. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. It is probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. These are perfect if you make jewelry and similar crafts or as a fossil collection item.

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.
Calcite is said to be a powerful amplifier and cleanser of energy. It is believed that having calcite is a room cleans negative energies from the environment. It is also said that Calcite alleviates emotional stress and replaces it with serenity. It is believed to be aa stabilizing stone, enhancing trust in oneself and strengthening the ability to overcome setbacks.

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. Laumontite is a member of the zeolite group, and occurs in many of the zeolite deposits.
Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. Quartz is transparent to translucent.

Heulandite is one of the most common and well known members of the Zeolite Group. It has a nice pearly luster and lovely colored hues. It forms wonderfully complex and quite unique crystals and is often associated with other rare and beautiful minerals.
Green heulandite is a naturally occurring and is prized for its vibrant green color, glassy luster and well-formed tabular crystals. Found primarily in the basalt cavities of the Deccan Traps in Maharashtra, its distinctive green hue is typically caused by microscopic inclusions of the mineral celadonite rather than the heulandite itself. It commonly occurs alongside minerals such as apophyllite and stilbite.

This is a great looking 4.474 kg (9.9 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 15.7x12.5x9.9 cm (6.2x4.9x3.9 inches).
This 4.474-kg Meteorite Oxide originates from the renowned Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. Its natural oxidation process offers a unique, rugged texture and appearance, providing an authentic sample of extraterrestrial iron altered by Earth’s atmosphere over time. Ideal for collectors and researchers, this specimen exemplifies the scientific and geological significance of meteorite weathering. This piece was obtained in 2005 from a retiring Meteor Crater employee. It is highly magnetic and very heavy for its size.
-
Formation:As meteorites fall through the atmosphere and land on Earth, the iron and other metallic components can oxidize, forming rust-like coatings.
-
Impact on Appearance:The fusion crust of a meteorite can weather over time, transforming from a black, shiny surface to a rusty brown color due to oxidation.
-
Not all Meteorites Oxidize:While most meteorites have some degree of oxidation, the extent can vary based on factors like the meteorite's composition, the duration of exposure to the atmosphere, and the local environment.
Right now if you want to acquire something like this, the nice folks at the Crater will ask for $1.50 to $2.00 USD per gram. Here you get it for substantially less in the best shape possible. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.
This is a Selenite sphere from Morocco. The sphere comes from a selenite mass of Satin Spar, and is partially clear (the rest is translucent), with a lovely Chatoyancy.
Selenite, also known as Gypsum, is one of the more common minerals in sedimentary environments. It is a major rock forming mineral that produces massive beds, usually from precipitation out of highly saline waters. Since it forms easily from saline water, gypsum can have many inclusions of other minerals and even trapped bubbles of air and water.
Gypsum has several variety names that are widely used in the mineral trade. "Selenite" is the colorless and transparent variety that shows a pearl like luster and has been described as having a moon like glow. The word selenite comes from the Greek for Moon and means moon rock. Another variety is a compact fibrous aggregate called "satin spar" . This variety has a very satin like look that gives a play of light up and down the fibrous crystals. A fine grained massive material is called "alabaster" and is an ornamental stone used in fine carvings for centuries, even eons.
Selenite is believed to be a calming stone that instills deep peace and is excellent for meditation. Selenite has an ethereal quality and is said to inhabit the place between light and matter. Although an ancient stone, it is still one of the most powerful crystals.
It is thought that Selenite can be used to form a protective grid around a house, creating a safe and quiet space that does not allow outside influences in. A large piece of Selenite placed in the house ensures a peaceful atmosphere.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Pseudomorphs are mineral specimens that have the external shape of one mineral but are composed of another. The pseudomorph goethite after marcasite forms when marcasite is exposed to oxidizing conditions and starts to oxidize and break down. As the marcasite breaks down, goethite replaces it in the crystal structure, preserving the shape of the original marcasite crystal. The resulting specimen appears as a marcasite crystal, but is actually composed of goethite.
The Farafra Oasis, in the White Desert, has been known for a number of years to deliver incredible pseudomorph specimens. The pseudomorphs occur within the Cretaceous Khoman Chalk, from which the White Desert derives its name.
These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition. This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.
