A colourful deep-water habitat off Canada's west coast, where a scapolite stone stands in for the moon. Two at-risk species, the humpback whale (Megaptera navaeangliae) and Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) move through waters illuminated by black light technology.

Comment
The latest exclusive from Club des Maîtres celebrates our oceans and shows that nature's colors don't end where the waves begin. But it's the rare gemstone scapolite that makes this coin unique. Another first for the Mint!We spared no effort to find the right stones to incorporate into this design. Our gemologist traveled to Kimmirut, Nunavut, to extract this rough stone, which will add a precious sample of Canada's North to your collection. To illuminate the night scene on the piece, we matched the scapolite with photoluminescent coloring to give it a milky glow, making it the perfect replica of the moon.
