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!

Todays addition to the stash compartment is a really nice set of 3 thundereggs. All 3 have been cut and polished by Denise and myself.
Two double thundereggs are from the Priday ranch in Oregon and the center one is from the Baker pit New Mexico. Both Oregon eggs are very nice blues with the lower double having great plumes inside. The center NM egg didn't really form a large "pocket" of agate in this piece but rather spread through out the entire egg structure. There is a small bright orange/red pocket and it polished out so nicely with vivid red, whites, and blues. Picture is full size, click on the image for a larger view with more details on all of them. This set of 3 thundereggs will make a nice addition to your collection.
Sizes are approximately (from top to bottom) 3 inches by 2 inches, 2.75 inches by 2 inches, and 3 inches by 2.25 inches.
