RARE!! Fine crystals of Boleite with Calcite on hand matrix!
This is the first Boleite with Calcite specimen that I've seen and also one of only a handful
of hard rock matrix Boleites that I've come across. This is important because it means the specimen
required no stabilization. If you're looking for a great Boleite combo, I highly recommend this one!

Fine specimen of Roselite with Conichalcite on Albite matrix

Fine cluster of Golden Barite tabs atop orange Orpiment crystals!
This specimen came from a small portion of the recent find at the Meikle Mine where the
Barite and Orpiment ran into one another. Believe it or not, this is the first of these combos
that I've offered on the website so they aren't common at all. This example is in great shape
with only normal trim zone incompleteness. The crystals display a great deal of gloss and luster.
From the Twin Creeks Mine, Humboldt County, Nevada.
Measures 7.6 cm by 13.1 cm by 8 cm in size.
Price $2850

Stunning specimen featuring a crystal-clear Selenite blade on Quartz covered Chrysocolla!
What an incredible combo piece! This specimen received so many looks in Tucson that I figured it
might not make it to the update. The Selenite is pristine and the surfaces are sparkling with drusy.
From the Lily Mine, Inca Department, Peru.
Measures 6.5 cm by 4 cm in size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled base
Price $1250

MIN#Tucson2010-59 NEW!

NEW FIND!! Rare specimen of Green Selenite with frosted tips!
Impressive specimen with full tips and wonderful color. I haven't seen another like it
from Naica so I'm not sure how many have been found. The sudden change from deep
green to white frosting at the crystal tips must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!
I suspect that a Copper component is responsible for the coloration.
