New pictures are added to replace those of
minerals sold. Please take the time to look at the various pages; you
will see 'old stuff' as well as newly updated material. Do not
miss the later pages...it is where new minerals are added to as
inventory increases.
If you are a collector without big money to
spend on minerals please do not get discouraged at the phenomenal
prices of some minerals! You may be just starting, studying, or
simply have to stay within strict budget limits; be assured we care
about you too. One of the nice things about the mineral hobby is that
one can get quite a nice collection on modest means. If you do not
seek to beat others in competition, you can build a very nice
collection without spending too much. It may not be the best in
the world but it is yours!
Scientifically it can be just
as significant.

Platinum crystals covered with
Gold: all natural!
Kendyar Massif, Khabarovskiy Kray,
Russia.
Small but very sharp crystals to 3 mm
party gold "plated" in nature.; to most of us this was a
stunning occurrence but one theory is that the Pt crystals
formed deep underground (in rock which got uplifted and
eventually eroded releasing them) and got plated
geologically much later by tumbling with gold in streams.
Apparently only this deposit produces these.
