Notes specific to this specimen:
You’ve never seen this before! Why? Because we are the only source for it. These striking Sudbury specimens are cut to reveal the lustrous nickel and copper ore crystals scattered across its dark magmatic matrix. The flashy metallic patches catch the light beautifully, highlighting this classic mega-impact site whose resulting nickel–copper ore made Sudbury world-famous. A rare and powerful authentic piece of Canadian geology from 1.8 billion years ago.

We are offering only a very limited number of specimens of this material. Most will be in the form of obelisks because they show off the mineralization patterns very clearly. At present we are offering only two different size obelisks. This is the smaller one. The photos here are typical of this size. But you may not get this exact piece! Please keep in mind there is variation from piece to piece and the one you get may differ slightly from what is seen here. However, these photos are a good representation of what you can expect. Of course, as always, we guarantee your satisfaction or your money back
