Leptolepides sprattiformis (Latin: “sprat-like soft scaler”) was a species of fish in the European Jurassic Sea about 150 million years ago.

Leptolepides sprattiformis was only about four to six centimeters long and is similar in size and shape to today's sprats. It belongs to the true bony fish (Telostei), so it had a firmly ossified spine. The fish probably joined together in schools to have better protection from their enemies.

The Star Galaxy Gold from India exudes a sparkling and luxurious ambience. It is particularly impressive due to its gold and bronze-colored inclusions that sparkle on its deep black background. When polished, its full radiance comes into its own. The stone fits into any living environment that relies on strong contrasts. Simply elegant and timeless. The reflective minerals are bronzites embedded in a dark matrix. The Star Galaxy Gold is a gabbro and not granite. A gabbro is a fine-grained igneous rock that was formed deep in the earth's interior. It consists mainly of dark minerals such as pyroxene, hornblende and olives; quartz is absent or only occurs in trace amounts.
