Mixed Minerals!

A selection of minerals from around the world, including a selection of higher quality “grape agate” specimens from recent discoveries in Indonesia.  These first started to appear around two years ago and the production has been somewhat varied in quality, with the majority having significant damage, weak color and orbs that seem too tightly packed.  This group has somewhat more saturated color, are relatively clean, and most have a very pleasing secondary crystallization of microscopic quartz that gives them a wonderful sparkle.  A few examples also have celadonite inclusions that turn the orbs green— the most interesting combine both purple and green orbs on a single specimen, making for a rather aesthetic contrast.
