I will get some high quality shots after I get some labelling in the case. I am very satisfied with the results!

I see quite an emphasis on Calcite. Are you prioritizing or specializing in Calcite for your species ?. Are they also self-collected or simply acquired?
Thanks for posting pictures.

I specialize in USA calcite. These are all acquired through various dealers or collectors. None of these are self collected.

Three at a time. It doesn't seem to like me posting too many at once.

The Homestake mine piece seemed unusual. I haven't seen any other calcites from Homestake so far. The Annabel Lee specimen is a "bottle cap" variety.

I love large Linwood pieces. I could fill a whole cabinet with them if I could find enough haha. The Large Sweetwater in this set of photos is one of my favorites.

There's the Shullsburg calcite again. The York specimens are from the 1993 find by Eric Meier, Bill Longacre, and Joe Hoffman.

The Berry calcite twin in the middle is the one Reo Pickens regarded as the best one he collected at the quarry.
