Carbonados are strange black diamonds that are only found in a small handful of localities in South America and Africa.  Scientists are still debating the origins of these unusual diamonds, but one of the leading theories is that they originate from a very ancient and massive meteorite impact when the continents of Africa and South America were still connected approx. 2.3 billion years ago.  Carbonados are harder than normal diamonds and they are one of the hardest materials on Earth....]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2011 20:15:41 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/faux-turquoise--lot-of-unusual-and-unidenitifed-mineral-rocks-polished $12.99
I received these unusual rocks as part of a large mineral purchase several months ago.  I put these pieces into a tumbler and polished them.  They are very unusual and resemble a form of turquoise with a greenish color.  There are also veins of a weird metallic material running through some the stones.  It may be lead or tin.  It does not stick to a magnet.  These pieces are very hard and could be worked into jewelry. Refer to the photos.  You get all of the p....]]> Mon, 04 Jul 2011 08:36:30 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/sudbury-crater-mine-ore-rich-in-rare-metals-iridium $8.99
Sudbury is an "astrobleme" or impact crater structure located in northern Ontario Canada.  It is the result of a catastrophic meteorite impact that occurred 1.8 billion years ago.  The impactor was several kilometers wide and the massive explosion injected large volumes of material into the Earth at the Sudbury site.  This event was so destructive, that it punctured the Earth's crust and material from deep inside the Earth's mantle erupted through the wound and mixed with exotic m....]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:51:39 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/canyon-diablo-shocked-coconino-sand-from-meteor-crater $8.00
When a massive iron meteorite slammed into the remote Arizona desert, it blasted out a mile-wide crater that is one of the world's most recognizable impact structures.  The impact was so violent, that it pulverized the native sandstone into a powdery-fine sand that is like flour.  This shocked sand was collected at the crater many years ago before the site was closed to collectors.  I only have a limited quantity of this material.  Don't miss your chance to own a unique impac....]]> Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:41:46 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/scarabs-semi-precious-scarab-beetles-tiger-eye-lapis-agate-more $5.99

Moqui Marbles, also known as Shaman Stones, are naturally-formed spheres of hematite, sandstone, and goethite.  They are formed when the soft sandstone erodes away, leaving behind these hard hematite-bound concretions.  These spheres are littered across certain areas of the desert in the US southwest.  The Hopi indians believed that Moqui Marbles were used by their deceased ancestors to play games on Earth, and the ancestors left behind the marbles to let their living descendents ....]]> Sat, 29 May 2010 10:34:37 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/peridot-crystals-large-handpicked-brilliant-green-olivine-crystals $5.00

This lot of sand and tiny pebbles comes from the Saharan desert.  Recently I acquired this material so I could have some NWA desert sand to go with my NWA meteorites.  This sand comes from where meteorites and Libyan Desert Glass are found in the Saharan desert that stretches across Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Egypt.  I bought this from a European dealer who gathered it during his North African travels back in the 1990's.  Refer to the photos.  This offer is for a glas....]]> Sat, 05 Sep 2009 10:42:09 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/tumble-polished-petrified-wood-glossy-ready-for-cabbing $5.99

Black Tourmaline is highly prized for it's rare and unearthly beauty.  Many practitioners of the magickal arts believe that Black Tourmaline possesses great power and energies.  Black tourmaline is one of the rarest forms of tourmaline, which naturally occurs in several colors and forms.  (I have tri-colored "watermelon" tourmaline for sale elsewhere on this site) ...

Moldavite is a beautiful green translucent glass that originates from the Ries Crater area of Germany.  Moldavite was created when a giant meteorite slammed into the Earth and the catastrophic impact fused local minerals (and some of the meteorite) into a green, gemmy material.  Over the centuries, Moldavite has been prized for it's beauty in jewelry making.  The highest quality Moldavite is cut into faceted gemstones.  This Moldavite is high quality, but not gem grade. ....]]> Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:26:46 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/watermelon-tourmaline-cabochons $5.00
These are very nice tourmaline stones that have been shaped into cabochons and then polished.  These tourmalines are called "watermelon" because the predominate colors are green, pink, red and black.  Some of the stones have all 3 or 4 colors.  These cabochons would make great jewelry as-is, but they could also be dopped and shaped further.   This tourmaline hails from Sri Lanka and comes from an old gemstore stock.  The larger stones are multicarat, while the small....]]> Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:07:22 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/raw-petrified-wood-hand-selected-specimens $5.00

New! - very nice N48 rare earth Neodymium magnets.  N48 is a very strong industrial grade and much stronger than some similar magnets sold on eBay and elsewhere.  There are only 2 stronger grades than N48 - N50 and N52.  N50 and N52 magnets are harder to find, more expensive, and somewhat dangerous in larger sizes.  These N48 magnets are a great compromise of strength and value. These are many times stronger than the best ceramic magnets and will attract the tiniest amounts o....]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:13:12 GMT http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/lapis-lazuli-cabs $10.00

I secured a very good price on these Lapis stones, so I can pass along some of the savings.

These little quartz crystals are perfect for jewelry, crafts, and giveaways. Each crystal is elongated and well-terminated. This is also called "water quartz" by some because of it's total transparency - it has no color at all. The size and appearance of each individual crystal is different, so no two are alike. Each lot in this offer contains at least 20 crystals.  These crystals originate from Madagascar and they are 100% natural. ....]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:10:48 GMT
