Description
Haumea, the fast-spinning dwarf planet, is shaped like an elongated egg due to its rapid rotation, completing a full spin in four hours. Its surface is covered in crystalline water ice, sparkling in distant sunlight. It also has mysterious dark red spots hinting at unknown organic compounds. Orbiting far beyond Neptune, Haumea even has its moons and a faint ring system, making it one of the most unusual and intriguing objects in the Kuiper Belt. Continue your learning about Haumea with this inspirational kit! 


Each display includes a rock/mineral sample, a two-sided information card, an elevated display platform with the planet (or item) 's name, and a storage box. 

The Dwarf Planet Haumea display is designed to open the door to learning and discovery about Haumea—and what Calcite is all about! It is a great showcase and inspirational item to place on a desk, in a display case, or anywhere you can pass by and be reminded of our amazing universe. 

Additionally, this item was created to dig deeper into our solar system's what, how, and why. Whether the choice is to understand more about the planet itself or the rock and mineral sample itself, each product provides multiple directions for the owner to explore further. If you or the person you gift this to is inquisitive and curious and likes to follow paths to new knowledge, this is definitely for you or them!

Orchid calcite is a vibrant variety of calcite (CaCO₃) with rich orange or red tones due to iron or manganese inclusions. With a Mohs hardness of 3, calcite is soft but energetically potent, often used in metaphysical circles to inspire creativity and confidence. Its name comes from its beautiful floral coloration, reminiscent of an orchid's bloom, making it a visually striking and energetically uplifting mineral. Found in sedimentary rock, this stone bridges the gap between geology and the natural beauty of floral hues.

Each sample mineral/rock is hand-picked for its size, color, consistency, and how well it represents the planet. For this reason, each one is unique in its properties and will vary from sample to sample. We've lovingly ensured that each one is an excellent example of its geological classification and the planet it represents.

The two-sided cards contain visually complementing front information about the planet, planet, or other celestial object... including an "area of interest" that begs to look further into where this unique location on the planet/planetoid. If it's a gas-giant planet, we've selected a moon that is orbiting the planet and an exciting location on that moon!

The back of the card has a quick link and QR code to our website with information about the planet/planetoid, the mineral rock, links to the latest news for that celestial object you have, and more. This landing page is specific to the planetary kit you own! It is also DYNAMIC, which means that as new and exciting information becomes available, we will update it to include the latest and greatest information!
