BLACK JADE SPHERE
A beautiful highly polished Black Jade Sphere. With a reflective surface like a mirror, you can see my reflection taking the photos. This is a Nephrite Black Jade Sphere from Western Australia. Jade is one of the many mineral treasures found in this vast land of Australia. These are not readily available and we never know if we can source more. It is iron impurities that adds the intense blackness to this jade. An essential for any jade or Aussie mineral collection. Great properties all round. Difficult to photograph with its highly reflective surface. Due to the very fine tight knit grain it takes one of the highest polishes of any stone. This sphere has a few characteristic white marks often visible in nephrite jade.

TOP GALENA SPECIMEN
Stunning Top Galena Specimen, very well formed and shiny. This is a really aesthetic piece with great shape, well formed crystals and glossy wet surfaces. The Crystals have formed Cubic shape with the corners missing forming a Cuboctahedron or Octacube. There is a small section of Truncated (stepped) Crystal Galena and a few small Quartz Crystals.
