PostPosted: Feb 19, 2019 17:48    Post subject: Re: Collection of Michael Shaw  

One of the things that I was looking forward to this year in Tucson was visiting JTI at the former La Fuente restaurant on Oracle. Renovations to the building are still underway, but there was a large tent set up in the parking lot which held a very small portion of Rock Currier's personal collection. As a dealer who imported many tons of Indian zeolite specimens, it was interesting to browse through some of the pieces that he kept for his personal collection. I picked up this little piece more for the mineral association and label than anything else. Rock was a big proponent of affixing a "lifesaver" label to each specimen, identifying the mineral and location permanently, and the second photo shows that he practiced what he preached. His very detailed description notes that he obtained this piece in a shipment of zeolites from Hussein Tyebjee in 1975.

Nice find crosstimber, this last one almost looks like it's been worked on by a machine! These minerals which naturally take geometrical shapes have always been my favourites.

Thanks Tobi,
I love the heavily striated prism faces and water clear transparency throughout the entire crystal.

What a wonderful little sculpture, a perfect miniature of a great German classic, ... well, THE German classic ;-)
Great structure and a very saturated green colour, even many German collectors would like to have such a specimen in their collection.

A great one, Michael :-)

Thank you Tobi. I now have three pyromorphites from Bad Ems and each one is from a different mine and is a different color. When I found this little green gem, I knew it must join the other two :>)

I understand that. A beautiful mineral specimen should never be alone, that's why we all allow them to exist in large crowds ;-)
