My Collection

(Large Cabinet Specimens)

The largest dimension of all of these specimens is typically larger than 4-5 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.
