Vanadinite, a truly extraordinary and rare mineral that emerges through the fascinating process of chemical transformations from pre-existing materials. As a secondary mineral, its formation occurs in arid climates through the oxidation of primary lead minerals. Notably, Vanadinite is often discovered in the presence of the lead sulfide known as galena, creating a captivating mineral association.
Our remarkable specimen hails from the renowned locality of Mibladen in Morocco, widely acknowledged as the premier source of Vanadinite specimens. Within this exceptional piece, the perfect hexagonal crystals in deep, captivating shades of red showcase their inherent beauty. Each crystal is a testament to the intricate wonders of nature.

Kyanite, an aluminosilicate mineral, typically graces us with its mesmerizing blue hues. This mineral is often derived from the Greek words 'kyanos' or 'kuanos,' both meaning 'dark blue,' which aptly describes its captivating coloration.
Kyanite finds its origins in aluminum-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock formations. Beyond its inherent beauty, this mineral serves as a valuable resource, playing a pivotal role in the creation of ceramics and abrasives. Geologists treasure Kyanite as an essential index mineral, using it to delineate metamorphic zones and unravel the Earth's geological history.
In addition to its industrial applications, Kyanite reveals its softer, more enchanting side in the world of jewelry. Exceptional specimens yield exquisite gemstones that adorn the finest jewelry pieces, adding a touch of natural elegance to the wearer's style.
This particular specimen boasts oversized and flawless Kyanite crystals set within a matrix of quartz. It hails from the enchanting region of S. José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, known for producing some of the world's most remarkable mineral treasures. Whether admired for its geological significance, its potential as a gemstone, or simply its sheer beauty, this large Kyanite crystal cluster mounted in a handmade brass base, is a testament to the wonders of our natural world.
This misterious giant Septarian Natural nodule, from Madagascar, in a black lacquered wood base.
Septarias are prehistoric marine nodules of bio sedimentary origin followed by dehydration during diagenesis, which today are found as large pebbles in clay soil. The creation of a Septaria is a succession of events along millions years, they form around a core of organic matter (plant or animal). Sediments continue to settle on the nodule, compacting it under their weight, which will flatten it and expel water, while inside microcracks begin to form, amplified by tectonic movements. It is in these shrinkage slots that over time dissolved minerals will crystallize.
Its name comes from the Latin "septum" which means partition, barrier, indeed, when polishing of the nodule reveals and sublimates its elegant marbling of black calcite, millions of years that offer these sumptuous minerals, each piece is unique!
