Petrified Wood Oh you better knock, knock on wood! LuxeRox is lucky to announce the offerings of a rare Petrified Wood specimen from the city of Ambilobe in Madagascar. These fossils are from the Araucaria tree, a type of extinct conifer. Psss…LuxeRoxjoke! How does a coniferous tree get ready for a date? They SPRUCE themselves up! Ok, that was acorn-y joke but we had to do it! On a more serious note, Petrified Wood from this region of Madagascar dates back to 220 million years ago. This was the beginning of the Triassic period when the supercontinent of Pangea started to break apart into modern day continents along with the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Over the eons, the organic matter in these coniferous trees gets replaced by minerals (carbon, copper, iron, manganese) while most of the original structure like the tree rings stay intact. It’s no surprise that Petrified Wood is known as a calming and grounding stone that fills you with the feeling of security. Since it was once a living, breathing tree that has fossilized over millions of years ago, it’s believed to promote patience and increase perseverance. Gift this fossil for someone who is launching a new goal or taking a new path. Petrified wood is also an excellent stone for meditating.

  Aragonite Star Cluster Our Aragonite Star Cluster has repeated twinning which results in pseudo-hexagonal forms. HOLD ON…what’s “pseudo-hexagonal” you ask? No no, our Argonite is not fake or superficial. It’s also NOT to be confused with Phil Collins’1985 hit song, Sussudio. Pseudo-hexagonal refers to Aragonite’s crystal structure. The hexagonal shape is actually a result of intergrowth of 3 individual orthorhombic crystal structures that formed into a 6-sided crystal. With its distinctive hexagonal shape, it might as well be LuxeRox’s mineral mascot! If Aragonite’s aesthetics and color is not unique enough, some believe this mineral has the power to combat anger and promote patience and acceptance. Aragonite represents the ability to transform. Who can’t use some Aragonite on their office desk? PS: And now you have Phil Colllins stuck in your head. You’re welcome! Read more about Aragonite in our LuxeRox Mineral Library What’s included?

  Sky Blue Celestite Remember enjoying the sugary goodness of a rock candy as a kid? Well, this is what the crystal matrix reminds us of in our Celestite specimen. Named for its “celestial,” sky-blue color, Celestite can display pyramidal or tabular nodules of gossamer crystals. In addition to its divine connotations, did you know that Celestite contains the element, strontium? Strontium is used to create red-colored fireworks. While we don’t recommend making your own firework at home, this Celestite would add “sparkle” into any living space! Associated with celestial beings, Celestite is strongly connected to divine energy and cosmic supernatural forces. Celestite is thought to encourage inner peace, friendship and love.
