MINERALS FROM MY PRIVATE COLLECTION

In my early days I collected large minerals. Now I no longer have the space for large minerals. So I am offering them here on this site for sale. I hate to see the large mineral specimens go. Many are extraordinary size for their occurrence. Many have excellent history. A few are one-of-a-kind. But I see no sense in keeping them in boxes in a closet, where nobody can en joy them. So they are being sold.

#75623, Bixbyite with Hausmannite, N'Chwaning II Mine, South Africa (m) $85

#75635, Dravite-Uvite Tourmaline on Quartz, Bower Power's Farm, Pierrepont, New York (m) $225

#75632, Fluorite (with phantom-growth zoning) with Calcite, Xianghuapu Mine, Xianghualing, China (t) $325

FLUORESCENT AND PHOSPHORESCENT DIAMOND CRYSTALS

The diamonds shown below fluoresce under 365 nm longwave ultraviolet illumination. Ultraviolet illumination is invisible to the human eye. These diamonds absorb the energy of the invisible ultraviolet illumination, then emit visible light in various colors. The result is that these diamond crystals appear to glow in the dark. Some, as noted in the individual descriptions, phosphoresce when all illumination is extinguished -- truly glowing in the dark.
