JC8975. Aragonite. Diamond mine?, Berryman tunnel, Prospect ridge, Eureka district, Eureka county, Nevada. 6 x 9 cm Tall. 288g $30.00. Bright white and sparkly aragonite which looks nice all around. I photographed it from front, back, and sides. Not sure exactly which mine the Berryman tunnel is in. It has been suggested that they came from new work in the Diamond mine on Prospect ridge, however Prospect ridge has several mines on it, and they have been undergoing active exploration up until 2024. There have been several cave type areas in these mines that produced aragonite. This is a fine example. Collected prior to 2016 when I acquired it. RESERVED |

JC7696. Epidote. Nausherwani mine, Raskoh mountains, Kharan, Pakistan. 5 x 5 cm 103g $25.00. Sort of flattish crystals composing the entire specimen. Color is a dark green, almost blackish green. These are said to have a magnetic mineral (magnetite?) included within them, so they are a bit magnetic. Specimen did not photograph well. Looks better in person. Collected in 2013, as a new find. |

JC13430. Pyromorphite.
Guangdong province, China. 10 x 5 x 2 cm 192g $270.00
These are a new find from China. I have tried to find the exact
location, but at least on the internet, there has been no definitive
location given. Three different locations are given so far. One
that sounds the most reasonable, lists the location as a small artisanal
mine near the main Daoping mine. One location given is "Yangjiang
city"; another is just Guangxi province; others
list them as from the Daoping mine, which so far appears to be wrong.
They are described as "matcha green"...had to look that one up. Its a
type of green tea, and these are described as being that color. Of the
ones I have here, they are a sort of olive green, reminds me of some of the
La Farges mine, France, pyromorphites color. Some of the
smaller crystals have a slightly more orangish tint to them.
