Lakewood update...
I picked more mineral specimens this afternoon. Just in time for the upcoming show. So, in addition to Meteorites, Paragenesis Minerals will have:
Beautiful crystalline Smithsonite from the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia.
Ojuela Mine Hemimorphite and porcelain Dolomite crystals. Durango, Mexico.
Very unusual botryoidal Fluorite from the Santa Eulalia Mining District in Chihuahua, Mexico. Good cabinet size specimens.
Some fascinating pieces of Willemite on Limonite - also from Santa Eulalia in Chihuahua. These should fluoresce.
Several nice "Volcanic Bomb" Olivine & Peridot crystal clusters on Basalt. Classic New Mexico pieces!
Fluorite pieces from the White Rock Quarry in NW Ohio. Fabulous UV reaction!
A couple amazing Dog-tooth Calcite pieces with 2 growth phases. Chihuahua again. And LOTS of sparkle!
And a few others. Definitely be one of the first to cherry-pick some of the most choice pieces in the mix.
Smithsonite - Fluorite - Willemite photos below. Photos don't show the color and sparkle very well. You have to see them in person! Booth B-56 & 57.
