New Mineral Specimens for the SUMMER UPDATE!
Re-Updated 10/13/2007!

MIN#SUMMER2007-1 NEW!

Gorgeous Beryl var. Aquamarine with Muscovite blades!
This specimen is a stunner with super glassy faces and a blue, gemmy interior!
The crystals literally "step" their way up towards the main termination at top,
giving the specimen a structured appearance that is both impressive and visually
aesthetic! Every termination is complete and smooth with modifications. The top
termination has a small area of lines on the very backside where Muscovite blades
were plucked away but this is not damage and does not detract from the specimen.
From Nagar, Hunza Valley, Northern Pakistan.
Measures 11.3 cm by 9 cm by 9 cm in size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled stand.
Price $8750

MIN#SUMMER2007-10 NEW!

CLASSIC! Tremendous specimen of rootbeer-brown Fluorite cubes atop Celestite blades!
This is old material from the find of 30 or so years ago and the color is somewhat different
from the new find specimens. I describe it as a deeper, rootbeerish variety of brown and I think
that's fairly accurate. The slightly modified cubes measure 5.2 cm and 4.5 cm in size. I'm really
glad I have this specimen to offer to show the color variation between the old and new finds!
From Clay Center, Ottawa County, Ohio.
Measures 12 cm by 10.5 cm in size.
Ex. Edward David Collection

MIN#SUMMER2007-11 NEW!

Native Copper nugget-halfbreed with Native Silver crystals!
Bizarre specimen which at first glance appears to be a typical Copper-Silver halfbreed.
When you turn the specimen around, however, a Silver crystal lined vug appears! I count
about a dozen freestanding crystals filling the Copper vug. I've never seen another like it!
From the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan.
Measures 5.5 cm by 7 cm in size.
