Meteorite HENBURY etched slice with nice structure

pyrrhotite iron sulfide blende mineral

A polished slab of rare Khibiny tinguaite showcasing a dramatic starburst-like texture formed by rhythmic crystallization. Light green and dark grey zones create flowing, contrasting bands, while scattered lilac fluorite specks add vivid color accents. Fine white mineral seams and subtle rust-toned troilite crystals enhance the stone’s natural complexity. This unique alkaline igneous rock is valued for its striking patterns, durability, and excellent polish, making it a distinctive decorative material from Russia’s Kola Peninsula

Macro image of polished thin section of tinguaite — rare alkaline vein rock, subvolcanic analogue of aegirine-nepheline syenite, mined in Khibiny Massif (Kola Peninsula, Russia). The image shows characteristic textures: dark violet and purple zones corresponding to aegirine, and light green areas representing nepheline or glassy groundmass. Small lilac spots are overgrown fluorite, typical for banded tinguaite varieties. Black dots and veins are inclusions of iron oxides (magnetite, ilmenite), and rare yellow troilite crystals. White rims and boundaries are albite zones formed by rhythmic crystallization from sodium-potassium-rich melts . Color palette enhanced by optical anisotropy under polarized light or digital processing for scientific visualization. Field of view 15 mm reveals microstructure: mineral distribution, grain shape, phase boundaries, and inclusions. Tinguaite from Khibiny is unique for its variety of textures — from massive to intricate “tortoise-shell”, “dactyloscopic” and dendritic patterns, caused by melt flow direction and rhythmic crystallization. The rock has high strength and toughness, comparable to jade, polishes well, and is safe for use no harmful impurities or radioactive minerals detected. Intended for educational materials in petrography, mineralogy, geology, and rare earth mining history, as well as scientific publications, lectures, presentations, and museum displays. High detail supports analysis of mineral composition and textural features. No distortion, but color correction may be applied for scientific visualization. Meets standards for scientific visualization on stock platforms.

Macro image of a polished thin section of tinguaite — a rare alkaline vein rock and subvolcanic analogue of aegirine-nepheline syenite, sourced from the Khibiny Massif (Kola Peninsula, Russia). The image reveals characteristic textural features: dark violet to purple domains corresponding to aegirine, and light green areas representing nepheline or glassy groundmass. Small lilac spots are overgrown fluorite, typical of banded tinguaite varieties. Black dots and veinlets consist of iron oxide inclusions (magnetite, ilmenite), alongside rare yellow troilite crystals. White rims and grain boundaries are albite zones formed by rhythmic crystallization from sodium- and potassium-rich melts, with compositional variations reflected in the contrasting shades. The color palette is enhanced by optical anisotropy under polarized light or digital processing for scientific visualization.
The field of view of 15 mm captures microstructural details: mineral distribution, crystal morphology, phase boundaries, and included phases. Tinguaite from Khibiny is notable for its diverse textural patterns — ranging from massive to intricate
