MIN#DENVER2007-165 SOLD!

AESTHETIC! Tabular and very gemmy crystals of Beryl var. Aquamarine on Albite and Muscovite!

MIN#DENVER2007-166 NEW!

RARE COMBO!! Lustrous crystals of Acanthite with Rhodochrosite, Dolomite, and Fluorite!
I think there were only two of these very rare combination specimens in Denver and this one
really stood out. The Rhodos aren't perfect and exhibit some stress fracturing but still provide
a beautiful backdrop for the clusters of stacked Acanthite crystals! The Acanthites cover the
surface well and the association between Rhodochrosite and Acanthite is always a great find!
