This is a superb whole specimen of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite weighing 50.46 grams. This is a beautiful specimen from the Thomas Phillips Meteorite Collection.
Its dimensions are 42x40x20 mm. This North West Africa was classified originally as an Enstatite EL6/7, then later as an EL3 and finally an EL-Melt Rock meteorite which was found along with the rest of the total mass of more than 100 Kilograms in the Algerian Desert in August 2005. This is one of the oldest meteorites on our planet in terms of terrestrial age and has been referred to as a fossil meteorite.
This Enstatite chondrite shock level is minimal and weathering varies from 2 to 5. This piece displays extremely well and if cut would show a completely recrystallized enstatite chondrite with polygonal to irregular grain outlines. The grain size varies from 0.02 to 0.7 mm. Round, curved, blocky objects contain coarser-grained orthopyroxene than in the matrix. No relict chondrules were observed.
This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its prehistoric look and this rare and quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with specimen card.

Andalusite is a mineral that belongs to the silicate family. It is named after the region of Andalusia in Spain, where it was first discovered. One of the distinguishing features of andalusite is its ability to display pleochroism, which means that it can exhibit different colors when viewed from different angles. Common colors of andalusite include green, brown, and red-brown. This property makes andalusite a popular gemstone for use in jewelry.
Andalusite is believed to be grounding, stabilizing, and protective, creating a shield against negative energies. It is associated with spiritual growth, enhancing intuition and connecting with higher realms. Andalusite promotes balance, harmony, self-discovery, and inner strength.

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 occur in different variations, such as Chevron Amethyst (which exhibits distinct chevron-like patterns), Cape Amethyst (a lighter purple variety), and Uruguayan Amethyst (known for its deep and intense color).
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.

Lepidolite is a lilac-gray or rose-colored member of the mica group of minerals. Because lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica, it is often wrongly assumed that lithium is what causes the pink hues that are so characteristic of this mineral. Instead, it is trace amounts of manganese that cause the pink, purple, and red colors. The most notable and certainly the most studied of these deposits is the Brown Derby #1 Pegmatite, located in the Ohio City/Quartz Creek District, approximately 18 miles northeast of Gunnison in the high mountains of Central Colorado.
This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Ulexite, also known as "TV rock" due to its unique optical properties, is a mineral that belongs to the borate mineral group. Its most distinctive characteristic is its natural fiber optic behavior, which allows it to transmit light along its crystal structure's long axis. When placed over an image or text, ulexite can create a captivating effect resembling a projection or reflection. This property has led to its popular moniker, as it evokes the appearance of a television screen. Ulexite is primarily composed of boron, sodium, calcium, and oxygen, and its crystals are often found in sedimentary environments, typically forming in arid regions where evaporation and concentration of boron-rich solutions occur.
Ulexite is often associated with enhancing one's intuition, psychic abilities, and inner vision. It is believed to act as a conduit for receiving insights from higher realms and promoting clarity of thought. Ulexite is thought to stimulate the third eye and crown chakras, facilitating a stronger connection to higher consciousness and spiritual realms. Devotees of ulexite also believe that its gentle energy can help individuals access hidden truths and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
You will receive 1 Ulexite crystal. Each Ulexite is beautiful and unique, variations in size and shape should be expected. Note the specimen shown in the photos represent a small selection of what we have in stock, the size and shape of the specimen we send will vary.

This is a crystal combining Dolomite and Chalcopyrite. The lovely, light pink blades of dolomite are will defined on this specimen and are covered in tiny chalcopyrite crystals.
Dolomite from the Joplin Mine in Joplin, Missouri, is well-known for its saddle-shaped crystal formations and association with other minerals like galena, sphalerite, marcasite and less frequently Chalcopyrite. The dolomite from this area typically forms in shades of white, beige, yellow, or pink, often with a pearly to slightly curved crystal habit.
Dolomite is often associated with stability, patience, and emotional balance. Some believe it encourages a sense of calm and centeredness.
This is very nice, showy material in excellent condition, a great addition to any collection.

Sunstone is a type of feldspar, its color is often attributed to the presence of tiny copper platelets or hematite inclusions within the stone. The most common color of sunstone is a warm and vibrant orange or reddish-brown, often referred to as "Heliolite" due to its association with the sun. However, it can also occur in shades of yellow, pink, peach, and even green.
Sunstone is renowned for its unique optical phenomenon called adularescence. This effect creates a shimmering or glowing appearance on the surface of the stone, caused by the reflection of light from within the inclusions. It is relatively durable, with a hardness ranging from 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. While it's suitable for jewelry, care should be taken to avoid rough handling and exposure to extreme conditions.
Sunstone is associated with warmth, positive energy, and leadership qualities. It's thought to bring joy, vitality, and encourage independence and originality.
