WORLDWIDE MINERALS
Worldwide Minerals: We offer a large and varied selection of worldwide minerals, particularly at the gem and mineral shows that we attend. For those of you who can’t see us at the shows, we’ll also be placing some of the more unusual or aesthetic pieces and newly acquired pieces online. Most specimens come from former collections and where possible, I’ve indicated who collected them as well as other source information. Some we have acquired through trade with the miners or directly from the miners. In some cases we have done additional lab work on them, particularly in re-cleaning.
