Mineral specimen lot #1

(Seasonal Drawing 9/22/16 treasure picked by Renee in Missouri )

A beautifully white and sparkly clean microcline/albite in combination with smokey quartz crystals all around (shown center right in picture) is the show piece of this lot. Size of the show piece is a miniature at just under 2.5" and is a micromount delight!
Also included for this lot, another smokey quartz crystal that at first glance appears to be broken which it was.....but mother nature has tried to fix the broken end over time and the broken end now has been "mended" naturally with many small terminations. The other pieces are, geothite (micromount), a nice pale amazonite crystal with good form, a pseudomorph hematite after siderite (awesome sheen and form), and another light tan colored microcline/albite formation with awesome shape and sheen too!

Next is a very colorful hunk of Arizona petrified wood - weight is right at 2 lbs or maybe just a little over.
Size approximately 3" tall x 3.5" deep front to back x 3" wide.

This piece is a CP website icon so to speak as it's been used in several topics for the forum and in the kid's page puzzles for many educational purposes. Could be carved or sculpted, cut for cabbing and and ....
Or even left as is for your collection. Image shown with surface wet to show colors.
