Prehnite is a green to yellowish-green colored mineral that belongs to the phyllosilicate family. It is composed of calcium, aluminum, and silicate, with traces of iron, magnesium, and other elements. Prehnite crystals have a unique pearly luster and can form in a variety of shapes, including tabular, prismatic, and stalactitic formations.
Prehnite is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and emotions, promoting relaxation and inner peace. It is also said to be a stone of unconditional love, compassion, and healing.

This Calcite Crystal sphere has a very desirable golden color with great definition and an outstanding pattern. The Septarians were formed during the Cretaceous period, 50 to 70 million years ago when the Gulf of Mexico reached what is now Southern Utah.
Decomposing sea life killed by volcanic eruptions were chemically attracted to the sediment around them and formed mud balls. As the ocean receded, the balls were left to dry and crack, trapping decomposed calcite from the shells and crystals formed. A thin wall of calcite was transformed into aragonite separating the bentonite heavy clay exteriors from the calcite centers.
Because of this phenomenon, the nodules are called septarians. The name Septarian is derived from the Latin name, Septem, meaning seven. The fact is that the mud balls cracked with 7 points in every direction, thereby creating this beautiful design. Septarians are composed of Calcite (The Yellow Centers), Aragonite (The Brown Lines) and the Outer Grey Rock is Limestone. Occasionally the fossil or some of the fossils which started the formation of the rock is noticeable in the rock.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a great looking 2.278 kg (5 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 9.9x9.4x8.5 cm (3.9x3.7x3.3 inches).
This 2.278-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.

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.

Prehnite can form prismatic, tabular, or pyramidal crystals, but usually occurs in botryoidal, reniform, stalactitic, granular, or compact habits. It is usually green in colour, but may be white, colourless, yellow, or gray. It has a colourless streak. Prehnite is transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster. Prehnite forms in cavities in basaltic lavas.
Apophyllite is a mineral known for its distinctive crystal formations, often occurring in clusters with a unique beauty. Its crystals are usually colorless or white, allowing them to be transparent or translucent. Although, some specimens may exhibit a greenish, yellowish, or pinkish tint due to the presence of impurities.
Apophyllite is believed to have a calming effect, and to effectively reduce stress, releasing mental blockages and negative thought patterns. Apophyllite is also said to release suppressed emotion, to overcome anxiety, worries and fears. It calms apprehensions and allows uncertainty to be tolerated.
Prehnite is said to be a stone of unconditional love and the crystal to heal the healer. Placing it in the garden is believed to help make a home into a healing sanctuary and teach one how to be in harmony with nature. A good Fung Shui stone, prehnite is said to be helpful for decluttering, helping one let go of possessions no longer needed.

Color-change fluorite can exhibit a range of colors, including shades of blue, violet, green, and purple. The color change is often triggered by different light sources, such as natural daylight, incandescent light, or fluorescent light. The color change in fluorite is typically attributed to the presence of certain trace elements and the stone's response to specific wavelengths of light. The intensity of the color change can vary among individual fluorite specimens. Some may display a subtle shift, while others exhibit a more dramatic and noticeable change.
This a beautiful green Fluorite cluster from China's Donghai Mine in Jiangsu Province - a location that's well known for producing stunning fluorite with exceptional clarity and a vibrant green colour.
Donghai Mine, Jiangsu Province, China, is located within the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt, one of the world's most geologically significant regions. Formed during the collision of two ancient continental plates hundreds of millions of years ago, the area contains rocks that were buried deep within the Earth before being uplifted to the surface. Later hydrothermal activity deposited mineral-rich veins throughout the region, creating exceptional crystals of quartz, fluorite, calcite, and other minerals.
Today, Donghai is internationally recognized as one of China's premier mineral-producing districts. In addition to quartz, the district is well known for its beautifully crystallized fluorite and calcite, valued for their vibrant colors, transparency, and excellent crystal form. Specimens from Donghai are prized not only for their beauty but also for the remarkable geological history they represent.
This is a lovely piece that would make a great addition to any collection.

Mordenite was first described in 1864 by Henry How. He named it after the small community of Morden, Nova Scotia, Canada, along the Bay of Fundy, where it was first found. It is one of the most abundant zeolites and is found in volcanic rock such as rhyolite, andesite, and basalt. It is associated with other zeolites such as stilbite and heulandite.
Mordenite is thought to foster genuine serenity by dispelling negative thoughts and energies, liberating individuals from anxiety and fear to unlock their full potential. Stilbite is recognized as a highly creative stone that enhances intuition, carrying a supportive vibration. It grounds spiritual energy and helps transform intuitive thoughts into actions.
