Were some of these specimens featured in past editions of What’s Hot in Tucson? I believe I remember seeing the aquamarine on the second shelf to the far left (if I remember it was called the “Peaks of Pakistan”) and the large Chinese calcite and Realgar on the top shelf in the middle were two specimens featured in the video...
Though, all of these specimens are wonderful. |
I think so, Jamison, although I cannot quote the chapter and verse. The Realgar/Calcite specimen is from the Jiepaiyu Mine (Shimen Mine), Shimen As-(Au) deposit (Huangchang As-(Au) deposit), Shimen Co., Changde Prefecture, Hunan Province, China.
Thanks for writing.
Regards,
Don

The Amethyst on schorl is my favourite specimen. One of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Just fabulous this combo!
Of course, there are some more pretty nice rocks in this case;))

It was great to finally meet Bob. He doesn't look much like the FMF picture ;-)
