Description

Science and beauty are rarely in conflict. Here they converge. Four carefully chosen specimens that exemplify what makes Earth’s mineral kingdom extraordinary: one fluorite octahedron (perfect cubic cleavage), one labradorite freeform (labradorescence), one pyrite cube (geometric perfection), one rose quartz sphere (the most popular pink mineral). Arrives in a gift box with geological notes for each specimen. An ideal introduction to the mineral kingdom.

This specimen originates from Global, one of the world’s most significant localities for this type of material. Collectors and scientists have drawn from this region for generations, and for good reason: the combination of geological conditions here produces specimens of exceptional quality and clarity.

Every specimen is unique. Photographs approximate the visual experience, but the real thing — its weight, its luster under a raking light, the way it catches the corner of your eye — can only be experienced directly.

Formation

Each specimen in this collection was individually selected for quality and scientific interest. The combination has been chosen to illustrate a specific geological or mineralogical theme, with each piece complementing the others.
