Here is a really cool Smokey Quartz from a more recent find. It's a floater with no point of attachment, is a reverse scepter & has irregular, and some even curved, crystal faces.

Since several peope seemed to like the PA Rutiles that were previously posted, I figured that people may also like this Reticulated Twin. This is the best PA Rutile that we have in our collection, and one of my favorite PA specimens.

The Botryoidal Wavellite from National Limestone Quarry which is usually green or yellow like the specimem posted earlier in the thread are fairly well known. Here is an example of a large & unusual Stalactitic Wavellite with white color & pearly luster along the cross sections from a more obscure locale that primarily operated towards the end of the 1900's. The individual stalactites appear to have formed after another mineral, possibly Goethite, as shown by the remnants of a black mineral in the center of the cross sections.
