Description
The universe has 13.8 billion years of history. Some of it fits in your hand. Seven specimens, seven continents: Gibeon meteorite (Africa/Namibia), Mount Erebus obsidian (Antarctica), Burmese ruby (Asia/Myanmar), Cornish kaolinite (Europe/England), Michigan native copper (North America), Inca rose rhodochrosite (South America/Argentina), Lightning Ridge opal (Australia). The world’s mineralogical diversity in one collection.
This specimen originates from Global — one per continent, 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.
