I'm currently listing a batch of rare earth minerals from Colorado (allanite, aeschynite, columbite, ilmenorutile, polycrase, samarskite, xenotime, zircon v. cyrtolite), as well as some new, very dark scepter amethysts from Little Giant Basin and some new clear barites from the Book Cliffs near Grand Junction. I'll be continuing to add miscellaneous new specimens every few days.
I am in the process of cutting and polishing ore specimens from dozens of mines in the San Juans. These will include classic famous mines like the Camp Bird and the Sunnyside, but also lesser known mines like the Atlas, Sydney, Alaska, and the Spotted Pup (Dives mine). I also have a large selection of micro mineral specimens from Colorado, and if you'll let me know your wants, I'll let you know what I have on hand.
Minerals listed on the web site will include those from old classic localities in the state, and also rarer locality pieces. We will attempt to have a broad range of specimens for almost every budget.
Ordering
To simplify ordering, I've decided to ship everything for free in the U.S., over a $50 minumum purchase. Under $50, please send $5.00 for shipping. Customers outside of the U.S., please email which specimens you want and I'll package them and get back to you with shipping charges. If you are a Colorado resident, and do not have a resale number, you will need to include 2.9% sales tax. Customers outside of Colorado do not pay sales tax as of now.
Showroom
If you would like to see these minerals in person, you can visit our showroom in beautiful Ouray, Colorado, by appointment. Please give us as much lead time as possible to schedule your visit, and we will help arrange reservations for lodging, meals, and whatever other activities you would like to participate in while you are here. Use the link to the right for Ouray, Colorado, to see what the area looks like, and the activities available. The mineral showroom is moving in Ouray from an off-Main Street location to a room in my house, so I will be more able to have visitors come and view the minerals there.
