Campo Del Cielo was a very large meteorite fall, it is theorized to be a large piece that broke up when entering the atmosphere, some 4000 to 6000 years ago. Campo del cielo means field of the sky or heaven, which is a very appropriate name.
As this meteorite is composed mostly of iron, care must be taken to prevent the piece from rusting. Oil the piece regularly with mineral oil. Do not leave the ring laying around on wet sinks or wear in the shower.
Translated to "field of heaven", Campo del Cielo is perfect for the dreamers, space enthusiasts and armchair philosophers.
Green amethyst is where the amethyst mineral has a higher than normal iron content within the stone. This iron content causes some of the stones to be green when found, although this is rare. More often, the natural amethyst is heat treated to produce the green color. Only certain amethyst stones from mines with a higher iron mineral content in the amethyst will produce the green color change.
In the Middle Ages it was believed that amethyst would protect crops from evil spirits, blight and locusts. Some believe that amethyst has calming and protective qualities and that wearing amethyst will increase inspiration and intuition.
Smoky quartz is a variety of quartz, always black or brown in colour. Smoky quartz is often found in beautiful black crystals. It can be cut into beautiful brilliant gemstones and it makes an equally beautiful crystal specimen.
Smoky quartz is the most often sought after for its healing or crystal properties. It is said to increase endurance and to amplify energy. Some believe that it may give you an energy boost, and that it can help you clear your thoughts to better make decisions. Smoky Quartz is an excellent grounding stone. It gently neutralizes negative vibrations and is detoxifying on all levels.
