We are expecting a lot of small native
iron pieces from the famous locality on Disko Island, Greenland. Since most
native iron found is in the form of meteorites, these pieces are often called
Terrestrial iron in order to differentiate them. These are about 15mm in size,
and have oxidized to the rusty red-brown color we might expect to see, but if we
were to polish off the oxidation, we would see the silver-white native metal
underneath. The cubes are $3.50 each or 2 for $6
We also have specular hematite, as
you read about in the write-up, from northern Michigan. We have slabs up to
4" by 4" for $12. In lieu of polishing, these have been coated with
acrylic to show of their beauty. We also have a couple of large, thick slabs,
about one foot across and over an inch think for $80. These show the shiny grey-black
color specular hematite is known for. This material has been selling like hot
cakes for us at our wholesale show in Tucson the last couple of years!
And we didn’t get a chance to offer
these in April like we wanted to, but we do have lovely eudialyte in a
couple of other forms you might enjoy. We have cabochons as follows:
Freeform 12mm x 8mm
$13.50 Rectangle 12mm x 8mm with high dome
$13.50 Trillion 10mm x 10mm with high dome
$45
Rectangle 18mm x 11mm with high dome $30 Large rounded
triangle 65mm x 27mm $54 Large rounded triangle
hand-held piece 44mm x 30mm $60
We also received 4 thin eudialyte
slabs up to 2½" by 2" with an acrylic coating so they shine. Each
has some of the white feldspar and other associated minerals for a beautiful
contrast. They are priced by size, $22 for the smallest, $30 for the next
larger, $35 for the next, and $40 for the largest. Check out our web page for
scans!
GEMMY CELESTITE FROM TURKMENISTAN
We’re delighted to say we received another lot of the wonderful gemmy pale
blue celestite crystals on massive orange celestite from Turkmenistan. These are
quite beautiful! We have pieces up to about 3" by 3" with lots of
lovely light blue crystals for $36 and larger pieces up to 4" by 3"
for $60. These are quite exceptional!
NEW LOT OF STIBNITE FROM HUNAN PROVINCE CHINA
Our February 1998 featured Mineral of the Month in excellent, high quality
pieces. We have small sprays and shafts of highly lustrous metallic gray
crystals up to 2½" long for $12, please specify spray of thin crystals or
one long crystal, plus a couple of V-shaped growths 3½" long for $36.
Outstanding!
"TANGERINE" QUARTZ FROM
BRAZIL These are neat crystals
with a light tangerine color caused by a fine layer of hematite needles in the
crystal, from Minas Gerais, Brazil. We have individual crystals up to 2½ long
by 1" wide for $5 and a few 4" by 2" clusters of small crystals
for $16. We hadn’t seen these before– they’re really neat.
AMMONITE FOSSILS REPLACED BY PYRITE FROM MICHAILOV, RUSSIA
We
just received a new batch of these beauties– the inside has been cut and
polished to show off the shiny pyrite and some of the details of the shell.
These pieces are up to 1" high and ¾" wide. Typical pieces are $12
each and show a good amount of detail– the best of the lot are $18. These also
look wonderful as pendants, and Cheryl can set one in one of her fabulous wire
designs for $35 more.
RARE & UNUSUAL– LIBYAN DESERT GLASS
And for those who interest in
tektites was stimulated by December’s moldavite specimens, we picked up a
small lot of Libyan Desert Glass from the Great Sand Sea of southern
Libya, Egypt, and northern Sudan. These rare tektites are glassy yellow in
color, and the characteristic tektite pitting has all been worn away by millions
of years of natural "polishing" by sand. We have fascinating pieces
about 1" by ½" for $14, to 1" by ¾" for $16 to 1" by
1" for $22.
LARGE APATITE CRYSTALS From the Yates Mine, Otter Lake, Quebec,
Canada, we brought home some nice, large single crystals of apatite. They are an
opaque dark green in color with a vitreous (glassy) luster– very nice! Small
crystals up to 2½" long and 1½" wide are available for $12, and
larger crystals up to about 4" long and 2" wide are $24. Very nice!
COPROLITE (FOSSILIZED ANIMAL DROPPINGS) FROM MADAGASCAR
This is a new
find, as far as we know, from the Tulear region of southwestern Madagascar. We
could not find out what kind animal left its droppings to be immortalized as
fossils, but they look like the siderite replacements we have seen offered from
Washington state and are reddish brown in color. Coprolite is the scientific
name for fossilized feces. Size: about 2"-3" by 1"-2", $6
each
LAVA FROM la PLAINE DES SABLES, LA REUNION ISLAND
These brown-colored
pieces resemble the coprolite, but are much lighter in weight, evidence of gas
pockets trapped inside! A lava flow in 1986 enlarged this volcanic island east
of Madagascar. We have a few nice pieces about 2½" by 1½" for $5.
