Thysania agrippina is a species of moth in the family Erebidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1776.
The most commonly accepted English name is the "White witch". Thysania agrippina is a competitor for title of "largest insect". This may be true by the measure of wingspan—a Brazilian specimen with a wingspan of almost 30 cm (12 in) appears to hold the record. The "White witch" occurs from Uruguay to Mexico. One story of the derivation of the common name: early naturalists collected specimens of birds and bats with shotguns. An enormous darting flyer high in the canopy was a tempting target. Firing a cloud of pellets at a "White witch" moth did not necessarily bring it down, however, because the body is small relative to the wing area.

Derived from the Greek 'apophyllízo,' meaning 'it flakes off,' the name reflects this group's tendency to flake apart when heated due to water loss. Typically found as secondary minerals in vesicles in basalt or volcanic rocks, apophyllites', though not widely known, are fairly prevalent globally. Specimens are sourced from some of the world's most renowned mineral localities, including Jalgaon, India, home to the famous Poona District deposits.
Apophyllite carries a potent energy for spiritual healing on a profound soul level. It proves beneficial in alleviating depression, anxiety, and stress-related issues. Beyond its therapeutic qualities, it stands as a superb example of a remarkably fine and beautiful crystal cluster, making it highly desirable for both decor and serious collectors alike. Presented in a dark brown handmade brass base.

Bismuth Cathedral crystals that truly command attention. Bismuth, a fragile yet crystalline material, finds itself within the realm of semi-precious semi-metals, naturally adopting captivating geometric forms that are utterly distinctive. Infused with refractive properties, it dazzles with an opulent, iridescent sheen reminiscent of an enchanting oil-slick spectrum. Historically sourced as a by-product from the depths of copper, lead, and tin mines, it once confounded ancient observers, often being mistaken for lead or tin due to its beguiling appearance.
When ignited in the presence of oxygen, bismuth dances with a sapphire-blue flame, releasing ethereal yellow fumes as its oxide is formed—an intriguing testament to its chemical nature. As rare as precious silver and possessing the heftiness akin to lead, a cubic foot of bismuth would staggeringly weigh over 600 pounds, attesting to its density.
These extraordinary Bismuth crystals, nurtured within laboratory environments in the United Kingdom, emerge as a rarity, as their naturally occurring counterparts remain elusive treasures. Their unique kaleidoscope of hues and mesmerizing contours positions them as sought-after ornamental pieces, gracing spaces with unparalleled allure. Beyond their aesthetic significance, these crystals also find pragmatic roles in medicines, cosmetics, inks, paints, and even fire sprinkler systems—a testament to their versatile utility.
