SUMMER SPECIALS– PART I– (PART II NEXT MONTH)
As longtime Club members know, we usually try to obtain some
nice specimens of minerals related to the monthly mineral for those whose
interest has been especially piqued. Because of circumstances this month, we are
not able to provide as extensive a list as we were hoping to– we’ll make
such a list to go with the July write-up and newsletter. We’ll mention a few
here, and though we don’t have details on some of these now, feel free to call
for details, as we should know in the beginning of July.
REVERSE SCEPTERS FROM THE LILIANA MINE We
thought that some members might like to have samples of these, where the
secondary crystal growth is quite a bit smaller than the original crystal
growth, but we were only able to get them in small crystals and clusters. We
have small groups, usually with one thin prominent crystal up to about 1"
long with a reverse scepter, for $6; and clusters of small crystals about
½" long on 1" matrix with some scepters for $7, or will send one of
each for $12.
TRANSLUCENT FLUORAPATITE CRYSTALS FROM SLYUDYANKA One
of our Russian connections supplied us with some near-gemmy, highly translucent,
blue-green fluorapatite crystals from Slyudyanka, as a complement to last month’s
crystals. We have small crystals between about 1" by ½" and 1¼"
by ¾" for $6 and bigger crystals up to about 2" by 1" for $14.
All have sharp edges and the rather melted-appearing terminations typical of
fluorapatite from this locality.
NEW LOT OF STAUROLITE FROM RUSSIA, OUR MAY 2000 FEATURED
MINERAL Also, we received a nice new
batch of the X-shaped staurolite twins frozen in mica schist matrix from the
Kola Peninsula, Russia. We have matrix specimens up to about 2½" by
2" for $18, and larger specimens up to about 4" by 3" for $25. We
also received a few pieces with cross-shaped twins on matrix about half-dollar
size for $18.
MORE MAGNETITE, OUR APRIL 2003 FEATURED MINERAL We
haven’t had enough time to open the shipment yet, so please call us if
you’re interested. These are supposed to be a little larger than what we sent
to Club members in April. We have also received new shipments of the new find
of "Cactus" Quartz from South Africa; Anhydrite from Mexico, our June
1998 featured mineral; And Moldavite, our December 2001 featured
natural-glass-caused-by-meteorite-impact. We’ll send details next month, but
feel free to call if you just can’t wait!
