Quartz on feldpsar from the Organ Mountains. Miarolitic cavities in the intrusions there produce some really wild UXTs as well

Thanks Mark. Yes, the photos are mine. I'm getting close to finishing photos of every specimen in my collection. Big job, but enjoyable way to spend time.

Here are a few things from New Mexico that are in my collection. Some are self-collected, some were acquired in trade, a few others I bought. Your comments or suggestions are much appreciated.

I will post more specimens later this afternoon.

Thanks,

Ed in Kingman



Kelly Smithsonite-2.jpg
 Description:
Smithsonite, Kelly Mine, Magdalena District, near Magdalena, New Mexico. 5.5cm X 5.0 cm. From Tony Otero, who ran the rock shop in Magdalena, New Mexico, in 1977. The specimen features a single "Rice Grain" crystal growing off one of the spheres. The splotch of brown is where the "Rice Grain" contacted the other side of the little pocket. My friend Mike refers to this piece as "Right off the cover of Sinkankas".

Kelly Smithsonite--3.jpg

Same specimen, side view to show the crystal's point of attachment across the pocket.

Tony's CaF2 2.JPG

Fluorite, Mex Tex Mine, Socorro County, New Mexico. 6.5 X 3.5 cm. From Tony Potucek, 1971.
 Viewed:  45699 Time(s)

Tony's CaF2 2.JPG



Tony's CaF2,1.JPG
 Description:
Same specimen, close up. The fluorite is actually a pale lilac colour. The greenish tinge to the modified crystals is due to underlying copper oxides. Tony collected this specimen in 1969 or 1970.
