My Collection

(Small Cabinet specimens)

The largest dimension of all of these specimens is typically less than 3 inches.  They were mostly acquired from local dealers and collectors in the 1990’s and early 2000’s.  Most are crystalline, and were chosen primarily for their aesthetics, as opposed to perfection or rarity.  (please note – this page is currently under construction, and probably contains some errors; specimens will be added sporadically, as I have the time and energy to do the photography and edits…)
