Heulandite Crystal Cluster – This exquisite cluster showcases perfect rhombic monoclinic crystals of Heulandite in a matrix, boasting a beautiful caramel coloration. Heulandite, belonging to the Zeolite group, can manifest in various colors depending on its composition. Typically found alongside stilbite and other zeolites in the amygdaloidal cavities of basaltic volcanic rocks, as well as occasionally in gneiss and hydrothermal veins. It forms at temperatures below about 100°C, indicating shallow diagenesis in sedimentary rocks where it is present. This particular specimen hails from the Deccan Traps of the Sahyadri Mountains in Maharashtra, Poona – India. Mounted in a handmade dark brass base.

Gabbro is a phaneritic (coarse-grained), mafic intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling of magnesium-rich and iron-rich magma into a holocrystalline mass deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Slow-cooling, coarse-grained gabbro is chemically equivalent to rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt. Much of the Earth's oceanic crust is made of gabbro, formed at mid-ocean ridges. Gabbro is also found as plutons associated with continental volcanism. By rough analogy, gabbro is to basalt as granite is to rhyolite.
These superb patterned and grained specimen came from central Madagascar. The polishing work is made by local people.

Marvel at this exquisite Geode, a natural wonder that reveals an array of vibrant Amethyst crystals alongside a stunning pinecone formation of Calcite crystals. The formation of Amethyst unfolds through a fascinating two-step process, offering a glimpse into the intricate workings of nature.
First, a hollow rock or magmatic geode emerges, shaped by the cooling of lava in conjunction with air and temperature fluctuations. Then, the second stage commences—the creation of the crystal cavity. Amethyst, known for its captivating violet hues, materializes at temperatures lower than 100°C, possibly as low as 60°C. This remarkable transformation begins as porous igneous rocks intersect with groundwater, which is rich in silicates.
As water permeates these hollow rocks, it carries dissolved silica and other minerals, eventually depositing them. The mineral-rich water flows through natural tunnels and gas bubbles within volcanic rocks, forming cavities. The initial layer that adorns the inner walls of volcanic rock is Agate, serving as the foundation for subsequent Quartz formation.

This mysterious septaria nodule from Madagascar show its “septum” formation.
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 of which is unique!
In this case you have the nodule as its found.
These freeform handmade bowls hail from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and bear many traces of Lamellibranch shells from the Cretaceous period. Each piece is exceptionally unique, crafted from red limestone dating back approximately 100 million years.
