AA Mineral Specimens Update
13th May 2009
Hi Everyone,
This week we have a number of great Aussie specimens.
From the Range Mine in the Northern Territory, we have a couple of crystalline Saleeite specimens encased in radiation-resistant acrylic, which are part of a small set produced for VIPs at the mine's opening in 1979.
We also have a number of Azurite Suns typical of the Northern Territory's Malbunka Copper Mine. Some feature malachite pseudomorphs.
And from Broken Hill, a complex cluster of Cerussite crystals.
Our single Jeremejevite crystal graduates from a striking blue to an almost clear complex termination.
From the Pacific nation of Papua New Guinea - a beautiful specimen of crystalline gold.
And finally, from the classic location of Sweet Home Mine, Colorado, USA, a number of Rhodochrosite thumbnails featuring that unmistakable gemmy Sweet Home translucence and colouring.
Enjoy!
