Clearance lots: Minerals

Clearance lots of minerals

Mixed lots of rocks and minerals for collectors. These are often damaged, unidentified, or.. well, I just can't be bothered to sort them out. At least I'm honest.

Please pay careful attention to the description below, as well as the numbered photographs.

Our current stock includes.

• #1 - Five varied pieces of Quartz including
  • 1x emma egg/window pebble, Brazil, white-pink Quartz
  • 1x tumblestone, Ametrine, Bolivia
  • 1x Smoky Amethyst with inclusions
  • 1x Smoky Quartz with inclusions
  • 1x clear Quartz point with inclusions.

• #2 - Six minerals, mostly tourmaline group. These are labelled in German - I can't guarantee the accuracy of the labels.
  • Schorl, possibly labelled 'Dehhi' or 'Delhi', 'Indien'.
  • Hardystonite and Augite, no locale.
  • Chalkosin from Mina Angina, Chile.
  • Dravite from Leutenbach, Germany.
  • Magnesiofoitite from Andros, South Aegean, Greece
  • Dravite from Pucher Shaft, Wolfgangmaßen mines (Wolfgangmaaßen mines), Wolfgangmaßen, Neustädtel, Schneeberg, Erzgebirgskreis, Saxony, Germany

• #3 - Four uncommon minerals from odd locales - Labelled in German and I can't confirm the accuracy of the labels, but the other 100+ items in the collection have been correct.
  

• • UM 2 - unidentified/unknown mineral - possibly Fehrite or Ramazzoite, both found at this locale (Lichtloch 26 S (of the Schlüssel-Stollen), Mansfeld, Mansfeld-Südharz, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany)
  • Tourmaline var Darrellhenryite from 'Tautania'.
  • Elbaite from Madagascar
  • Schorl from Kozhim River Basin, Komi Republic, Russia (I am not convinced by this ID and believe this may be something else, possibly Chloritoid).

• #4 - A badly photographed mix, in which John attempts to shoot brown on brown. From top L to bottom R:
  

• • Chalcopyrite
  • Garnet
  • Optical Calcite / iceland spar
  • Obsidian, apache tear
  • Smoky Quartz
  • Carnelian
  • Purpurite, low grade

• #5A/5B - British Fluorite - 3.8KG available. 5A = 1KG bag, 5B = 3.8KG.
  Mixed British fluorite, mainly from the Weardale area. Mostly iron stained/colourless with the odd bit of purple or yellow.
• #6 - 800 grams of Topaz with Rhyolite (and it is mostly rhyolite) from Thomas Mountains, Utah, USA.
  There's the odd bit showing some gemmy-ish clear or imperial topaz but very low grade material that could perhaps be considered halfway or more to rhyolite replaced.
• #7 - mixed lot including Schorl, Fluor-dravite, Malachite, Verdelite, Garnet, and a Zeolite group mineral.
• #8 - mixed lot including including Dravite, Foitite, Devilline, Chrome-dravite, Chrysocolla
• #9 - mixed lot including Stilbite, Fluorite, Zeolites, Galena and Calcite.
• #10 - Mixed lot of fairly low grade Amethyst, mostly 30-50MM pieces. Brazil, or Uruguay. 380 grams in total.

This clearance section is new, and runs on the 'dutch auction' principle - the price will be reduced until someone purchases the lot. If you're on the fence, hit buy now - it could be reduced tomorrow but it could equally be sold by then.
