Welcome! These are all mineral specimens that I own. Most I purchased at various gem & mineral shows. Enjoy!

NOTE: For purposes of online presentation colors of specimens may be a bit more saturated than in reality.

Dave Englund > Dolomite close-up.

Note the very distinct Pyrite crystals growing on the Dolomite.

Dave Englund > Okenite crystal group close-up.

Of special note is the probable fluorite formation near the right edge of the rock about half way up.

Dave Englund > Fluorite construction that displays beautiful translucence and a "phantom crystal" in the inner region; 6.8x 5x 4.8 cm.

Dave Englund > The same fluorite, but lighting from below (inside), which provides a more clear view of the octahedra cubic shapes.

Dave Englund > A close-up of the previous image, again highlighting the cubic shapes that make up many fluorites.

Dave Englund > Another fluorite, with lighting from below (inside), which provides a more clear view of the cubic crystal shapes (I call this my "small block" as it reminds me of the shape of a small block engine); 7.7x 4.5x 4.8 cm.

Dave Englund > Fluorite. It's interesting how cubic shapes can cluster to form this beautiful pyramid-like shape. The light source was from below and produced the appearance of coming from inside; 8.7x 5.3x 6.3 cm.

Dolomite close-up.

Note the very distinct Pyrite crystals growing on the Dolomite.
