Labradorite Sculptures
Labradorite, the large, color-changing, affordable gemstone, is without doubt one of our most popular stones. A rainbow range of colors that alter with changing angles of light can be seen in its shimmering, translucent faces--like opal, only bigger, we say. Available in free form sculptures, pebbles, spheres, and other polished varieties, it also has many lapidary uses in jewelry making.
Polychrome Sculptures
Ocean Jasper and Polychrome jasper are two more stones endemic to Madagascar. Both are also multi-colored stones, very hard and durable. Ocean jasper is the more famous of the two, being found in one small area and now mined out! Natural spherules formed in translucent agate/chalcedony material, leading to absolutely unique formations. Polychrome jasper is completely opaque frequently forms earth and sky "scenes" on its polished sides. To those who appreciate jasper for its energy, these are particularly beautiful, and also available in small carved hearts and pebbles.
Fossils, including petrified wood, are another important component of Madagascar offerings. We have fossilized ammonites in many forms: the rough and natural in various sizes; to those with polished exteriors and shimmering reds and purples; to cut open, butterflied, and polished interiors, some with calcite and/or other mineral surprises. Each fossil is beautiful and unique, and all types play a role in geology education as well. Petrified wood also comes in many sizes, shapes, and colors! Our pieces range from chunks of tree trunks large enough to serve as sitting stools, to smaller than a person's little finger. Now a silicate, petrified wood tends to take a good polish, and displays a variety of colors, from brown, to cream, to reds and purples. Frequently crystal-lined cavities are found in the process of cutting the wood, and are featured in spheres and polished limbs.
Septarian nodules are another favorite from Madagascar. Brown-gray on the outside, but cheery yellow on the inside, sometimes with golden aragonite crystals, these are soft enough to be easy to cut, carve and polish. Many items are carved for these, intended for children's toys, collectors' shelves, and homes' decor.
Other semi-precious gemstones from Madagascar include rose quartz, girasol quartz, celestine, and rock crystal (high-grade quartz). In order, rose quartz is well-known in its own right, but the rose quartz from Madagascar is famous for displaying asterism, better known as "stars." Girasol quartz, a translucent but slightly milky rare variety of quartz, also displays this asterism, which is much more rare in the rest of the world. Celestine, a sky-blue mineral named for its color, forms as many-shaped crystals inside geodes. Usually very gemmy and translucent, these soft crystals are best wire-wrapped in jewelry or left in their natural geodes to display their beauty.

Lastly, quartz crystals need little description, but the quartz from Madagascar is famous for its many unique mineral inclusions, including rutile, tourmaline, and others. It is used in jewelry, for energy, and as decor.

Shungite
Russia is the home of another of our famous specialties: Shungite. Shungite is a unique rock consisting of up to 98% pure carbon and named for Shun'ga, the village near its main occurrence in Karelia, Russia. Located in far northern Russia, the world's most significant deposit can only be mined a few months out of the year. Our travels there have made us well acquainted with the stone varieties, as well as the processes necessary to work them.

Our travels there have made us well acquainted with the stone varieties, as well as the processes necessary to work them.
One of the very few natural Earth sources of fullerenes, a rare hollow carbon molecule, it is capable of neutralizing electromagnetic emissions, waterborne contaminants, free radicals, and negative energy. Due to these sorbent properties, shungite has been used in spas and therapy for hundreds of years, and more recently in commercial water filters in Russia, proving its worth as a detoxifier and healer.
To utilize those properties on a personal, daily basis, we offer Shungite made in small decorative objects for the home and office and in jewelry. We offer polished pyramids, spheres, and cubes in various sizes, as well as other shapes, for home decor. We also offer bracelets, necklaces, and many pendants for personal use; even a disk with adhesive meant for cellphone radiation absorption. For finding out its qualities, and finding more creative uses, we even supply the rough stones: sizes ranging from powder, to pea gravel, to >1 inch, to 1-3 inches, and above.
Elite Shungite
Our most popular seller is the elite Shungite, so named for being the highest quality available. Shiny and silvery/black, it is amorphous, and tends to display conchoidal fractures and blocky edges. As it is a very brittle stone, the mining process is difficult, and large pieces are rare. The smallest pieces are sold by the pound. It is wire-wrapped into pendants, used for water filtration, and is a very unique addition to any serious rock collection.
Tiger Eye
A famous gemstone, known to the great and small alike. We personally travel to South Africa, home of the most famous world deposits of tiger eye, to various mines to obtain many kinds of tiger eye, including:
A famous gemstone, known to the great and small alike. We personally travel to South Africa, home of the most famous world deposits of tiger eye, to various mines to obtain many kinds of tiger eye, including:
- pure blue tiger eye (also known as hawk eye),
- blue and golden mixed tiger eye,
- scenic tiger eye, which has stratified bands of silvery hematite making layers and imaginary pictures,
- various grades of translucent, gem-grade tiger eye, with few visible lines and a 3-D golden color, and
- Nellite, a variety of hawk eye more similar to pietersite, which utilizes trace amounts of silicified crocidolite for its blue color. This highly silicified material is also very chatoyant and translucent, giving a blue-gold effect most similar to that of labradorite.
All of these are available in different vein heights, from .5 up to 6 inches thick! We offer even more information regarding size, qualities, and bulk purchasing/shipping information on another of our websites about tiger eye: www.tigereye-mine.com.
Midnight Lace Obsidian
Midnight Lace Obsidian
High in the Caucasian Mountains of Europe, in a remote corner of Armenia, lies an important deposit of banded obsidian. The obsidian looks like smoked glass, being translucent but with a darkened appearance, and containing straight, black, parallel lines called lamellae. These run straight for several feet at a time in the rough rock, and lead to marvelous effects in jewelry, objects of decor, beads, pebbles, art tiles, and much more. A "smoky" stone, it serves well as jewelry, since it matches everything, and can be worn even with black, as its lighter color is illuminated above it.

As our partner was the first company to mine any and send it to the American market, this stone is less well-known, but is now carried, courtesy of us, in stores all over the United States. We also sell the rough material, by the piece or in bulk, to lapidaries who have even more creative ideas. Read more about its history and formation at www.midnight-lace-obsidian.com.
