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. I will try to specify when minerals are toxic or radioactive, though.

Our current stock includes:

Quite a few slag minerals in these lots, so I have labelled them as *. Many unlabelled so I have given some very quick observations. These were bought alongside a huge collection of quality micromounts and there are likely to be some good specimens in there, unfortunately, some were poorly labelled or unlabelled.

• #1 - 6 boxed minerals
  • Boxes labelled as 'blue xls'*, Variscite/Mitridatite from Iron Monarch, Australia, Cerussite, 'blue acicular'*, Paralaurionite*, Friedlerite(?)*. I have not checked these.
• #2 - 8 boxed minerals, primarily unlabelled. 
  • 'colourless rhombohedral'*, unlabelled (very gemmy blue micro crystals), unlabelled bright green mineral, 'blue detached xls in phial', actinolite from Thurstaston Beach, unlabelled but lead/copper minerals*, unlabelled excellent black 'rainbow coated' crystals on matrix (likely quartz), several fragments of unknown possibly lead minerals.
• #3 - 8 boxed minerals, primarily unlabelled. 
  • Friedlerite(?)*, unknown (various vugs of green mineral), unlabelled but likely lead minerals*, cerussite/linarite/etc, dark octahedral mineral, linarite&galena/etc, 'glassy columnar xls in vug', two small unknown specimens.
• #4 - 8 boxed minerals, primarily unlabelled.
  • Friedlerite(? - very nice this one)*, unknown bright green mineral, 'pale blue coating' unknown, unknown bright orange fibrous mineral in vug (very nice!), unknown metallic dust specimen - sulphide? from Batopilas, Mexico, unknown bladed green mineral coating matrix, unknown bright blue gemmy crystal on matrix, fantastic blue gemmy crystals on matrix

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.
