Nebula Stone
"This Gem conveys a sense of astronomical
expanse
that qualifies it to be called the first outer
space scenic stone."

A
Unique New Discovery
"You've got a great stone there...
they are absolutely beautiful. The
orbs remind me of Van Gogh’s starry sky paintings."

Colored Stone Magazine
Nebula Stone is a recent geologic
mineralogical discovery, with a unique combination of minerals, named
for it's Cosmological resemblance.

"It is unlike anything any of us
have ever seen!”
“I cannot find anything like it in the literature.”
“This rock is obviously something New or at least Unusual.”

"Your specimen is nephrite, a variety of jade. To determine
this I looked at a thin section. What makes it unusual is the fact
that it has orbicular structure. “Orbicular” implies that the rock
contains “concentric shells of different texture and/or mineralogy
about a central core.”
...and
afterwards by phone they said their conclusion of Nephrite was in
error and then said “We have never seen this type stone and cannot
figure out what it is and where it came from.”

"Jadeite, a
member of the pyroxene group has the formula: (NA, AL, FE) SI2 06.
This is a much better fit to your X-ray energy dispersive analysis (EDX)
results.
In conclusion I think it is Jadeite, and perhaps the special version
Chloromelanite."

"It is a fresh and Unusual
alkalik volcanic rock predominantly composed of the four minerals
Quartz, Anorthoclase,
Riebeckite and Aegirine. The light green spherules
you see in the stone composed of radiating
fibers are Riebeckite needles mantled with fine grained Aegirine. The
darker matrix is richer in Riebeckite and also contains
more Quartz.”

Is It Just Lovely and
Mesmerizing, or Mystical Too?
"You may have seen a new
lapidary material being offered for sale recently. It's called "Nebula
Stone TM",
and is a dark-green, nearly black, shiny material with fascinating, light-green,
swirling orbicules scattered through the dark matrix. These inclusions make the
rock look like the night sky viewed through
a telescope, wherein you see
galaxies, nebulae and individual stars scattered against a dark
background- hence, the name Nebula Stone."
"What makes Nebula Stone
so unusual is that it has been analyzed by several noted scientists without
anyone coming up with a definitive answer as to what type of rock it actually
is. Using a variety of recognized techniques, scientists have studied the rock
carefully, yet cannot come to a final, similar conclusion."
"It is highly regarded as an energy stone and healing stone by people
who are metaphysically attuned."

A note to Mineral Collectors
We have pages for those interested in the Scientific, the
Geologic, the Mineralogical and the Esoteric for our many customers of varied
interests.
Webster's dictionary:
Esoteric/Metaphysical: Other than Physical. Relating to the transcendent or
to a reality beyond what is perceptible to the senses.
I received a call from a gruff
sounding gentleman that wanted to know about Nebula Stone. I didn't know what
his interests were so I mentioned that he could read some of the stuff on
the pages on our web site. I mentioned that there was scientific,
Geological, Mineralogical, Rock hounding and esoteric/metaphysical writings.
He then said (real loud)
"Oh, I don't
believe in that metaphysical
Crap"
whereupon I asked
"Well...
then... tell me this.
What...
is... more...
metaphysical... than the... belief...
in God...?"
....silence on the other
end of the phone.
Then he said
"hmm... I see".... then he laughed and said..."Thank you for that."
We sell to all Mineral collectors no matter their
belief systems. We are happy to help everyone in obtaining a fine mineral
specimen for their collections. Nebula Stone is
a recent geologic mineralogical discovery, with a unique combination of minerals, named
for it's Cosmological resemblance.
(the gentleman did acquire a fine Specimen for his collection.)
STARDUST TO STARDUST
Every atom in your body is billions of years old. Hydrogen, the most
common element in the universe and a major feature of your body, was
produced in the big bang 13.7bn years ago. Heavier atoms such as carbon and
oxygen were forged in stars between 7bn and 12bn years ago, and blasted
across space when the stars exploded. Some of these explosions were so
powerful that they also produced the elements heavier than iron, which stars
can't construct. This means that the components of your body are truly
ancient: You are stardust.

Carl Sagan
Soon after entering elementary
school, he began to express a strong inquisitiveness about
nature.
Sagan recalled taking his first trips to the public library
alone, at the age of five, when his mother got him a library
card.
He wanted to learn what stars were, since none of his friends or
their parents could give him a clear answer:
"I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars ...
And the answer was stunning.
It was that the Sun was a star but really close.
The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little
points of light ...
The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a
kind of religious experience.
There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has
never left me. Never ever left me."*

Thanks Jack and Carl for your inspiration to us all.
And for opening our minds.
Twinkle, Twinkle,
Little Star
Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics
in 1806.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro' my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

"The Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey" with Neil Degrasse Tyssen
!["Some of the Things That Molecules Do"[22] March 16, 2014 (2014-03-16) The story begins with Tyson sitting at a campfire, and telling how the wolf changed through artificial selection, and selective breeding into the dog breeds around today. He then enters the Ship of Imagination, and explains natural selection with the process that helped to create the polar bears. Along the way he talks about DNA, genes and mutation. Next he goes to a forest and describes the Tree of life, this leads him to discussing the evolution of the eye. He then discusses extinction, by going to a monument called the Halls of Extinction, dedicated to the broken branches of the tree of life. Explaining the five great Extinction events. He then tells how some life has survived, and then focuses on the tardigrade. From there he talks about what other kinds of life might have been created on other worlds. He then goes to Saturn's moon Titan. From there he speculates about life and how it first began. He then returns to Earth and tells about abiogenesis and how life changed and evolved. The show ends with an animated sequence from the original series of life's evolution from one cell to humans](Cosmos;%20A%20Spacetime%20Odessey.jpg)
