Prophecy Stone D (44g)

Prophecy Stone D (44g)

Small does not mean simple. Prophecy Stone D (44g) weighs just 44g, yet its compact surface is packed with the angular, knobbly detail that makes Egyptian Prophecy Stones so unusual. At approximately 4x3cm, it is a wonderful piece to hold close and study rather than simply admire from across a room.

A pseudomorph is one of mineralogy’s best ‘wow’ concepts: one mineral takes the place of another but keeps the original shape. Egyptian specimens of this type are documented as iron minerals after marcasite, which helps explain the surprisingly structured form packed into this little stone.

If this kind of untouched formation appeals to you, our selected rough crystals are a wonderful place to explore other stones where texture and natural growth are the main attraction.
