I'm looking for mid to high grade display quality specimens from PA to build out the PA part of my collection. I'm particularly interested in the following, but would possibly be interested in other interesting specimens.
Celestite - Meckley Quarry, Mandata
Rutile (preferably twinned) - Any PA locale
Amethyst - York cty, Delaware cty, or elsewhere
Chrome antigorite (Kammemerite) - woods chrome mine
Blue Quartz (Actinolite included) - Blue Hill, Media, PA
Botryoidal Malachite - Jones Mine, Morgantown
Calcite - York Cty or elsewhere
Wavellite - National Limestone Quarry, Mt Pleasant Mills
Wavellite - General Trimble Mine
Matualite - Bachmann Hellertown Mine
If you have any of the above, or anything else interesting and usual, please let me know.
I'm also always up for any field collecting as well, should you want a collecting partner.
Thanks,
John

I have a small cabinet specimen of wavellite from the Mount Pleasant Mills locality. I also have several examples of pyromorphite on quartz (single crystal to nice clusters) from the Brookdale Mine in Phoenixville, a thumbnail of Garnierite from Cedar Hill quarry in Lancaster Co., as well as a cabinet specimen of deweylite from the same locality. I also have a nice boxed set of minerals from French Creek that was collected in the 60's; but at the top of my PA collection is specimen #45 from Arthur L. Flagg's collection: a clinochlore crystal from Brinton's Quarry.
Would be happy to offer you the wavellite. I may have more PA specimens around as well.

I am also interested in the box set if available. I have many PA specimens including Wavellite, Celestite, interesting Calcites, Sphalerite and Galena, Brookdale, French Creek and Ecton material. I also have some rutile you may be interested in. I would be happy to talk rocks with you. Maybe we could connect on a better platform such as Facebook?
