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.

These may include several specimens I do not agree with the ID of (*) or am unsure about the locale of, or don't think are especially worth photographing/retailing individually. Sometimes its just because I've got way too much stock in the way and need to clear some! 

By the nature of unidentified and untested specimens, its reasonable to say that some of these specimens could be toxic. I would recommend careful handling.

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.

• #5A/5B - British Fluorite - 3.8KG available. 5A = 1KG bag
  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.
• #11 - Mixed lot of unanalysed ore minerals. Came in a collection poorly labelled, most of which were antimony ores; I took the pieces I wanted and have decided to clear the rest due to a lack of locale. Possibly toxic.
• #12 - Mixed lot of unanalysed ore minerals. Came in a collection poorly labelled, most of which were antimony ores; I took the pieces I wanted and have decided to clear the rest due to a lack of locale. These ones seem to be labelled W Caradon but the bag is too faded to make much out. Possibly toxic.
• #13 - Mixed lot, unidentified, no locale. Possibly toxic.
• #14 - Mixed lot of unanalysed ore minerals. Labelled as from Tresungers Mine. Possibly toxic.
• #15 - Mixed lot of unanalysed ore minerals. Labelled as from Tresungers Mine. Possibly toxic.
• #16 - Mixed lot of unanalysed ore minerals. Came in a collection poorly labelled, most of which were antimony ores; I took the pieces I wanted and have decided to clear the rest due to a lack of locale. Possibly toxic.
• #17 - Mixed lot of ten boxes of minerals - poorly labelled with no locales. Includes anatase, atacamite, azurite, stibnite, schmiederite, arkose, coal, chalcopyrite. Some will make good specimens, albeit without locales. Schmiederite especially is rather uncommon! Toxic minerals included.
• #18 - Mixed lot of ten boxes of minerals. Unidentified and unlabelled. One labelled as clinozoisite and does look to be. One larger box contains 4-5 specimens. Could well be toxic, as I don't know what they are.
• #19 - Mixed lot of ten boxes of minerals. Labelled, I don't agree with some.  Includes - Elyite*, Chalcopyrite (does contain Chalcopyrite but is primarily another unidentified copper mineral), Cerussite, Antlerite*, Apophyllite, Acanthite*, Hemimorphite, Olivenite, Brochanthite and one just labelled 'Cornwall'.
• #20 - Mixed lot of eight boxes of minerals. Labelled, I don't agree with some.  Beudantite, Bismuthinite*, Annabergite, Atacamite*, Beudantite, Antlerite, Metazeunerite* (not radioactive, two specimens), unknown.
• #21 - Mixed lot of eight boxes of minerals. They are labelled but I don't agree with some, and not all have locales. Galena, Dickite, Tyrolite, Braunite, Bismuthite*, Zincolivenite, Atacamite*, Alstonite.
• #22 - Mixed lot of eight boxes of minerals. Includes Beudantite, Erythrite*, Atacamite*, Palygorskite, Scorodite, Antlerite, Atacamite*, Unknown.
• #23 - Mixed lot of four boxes of minerals. I do not agree with the ID of these, despite their labelling. Includes Connellite*, Elyite*, Ceruleite*, Acanthite (maybe).
• #24 - mixed lot from Franklin and Sterling Mine, NJ, USA. Supplied bagged. Various species, 10-15 micros.

#11-16 are all from the same collection, which were almost entirely from trips to Cornish mines. It is possible all of them are, but no info was available.

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.
