Hi every one,

Well seeing that gas pricesare so high I bought me some new minerals from locations that I can't get to.


Rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home Mine Alma, Co 5.7 crts


Sapphire - Cowee Valley - Macon Co, North Carolina 7/16 X 5/16 X 3/16 INCHES


SHERRY TOPAZ CLUSTER Topaz Mtn. Utah


RICH GOLD ORE, QUEEN MARY (SWEET HOME) MINE, ALMA CO NICE MASS SULFIDE SPECIMEN WITH VUGGY QUARTZ LASERS!!



This one is from the Buckskin Joe Mine Near by to the Sweet Home Mine


This is from the same are but I don't know what mine it came from yet It is an aggregate of Vuggy Quartz Lasers that also hold some rather large subhedral sulfide crystals. There appears to be a splay of acanthite on one side, it's quite nice.

You can go here to see the rest of the pictures for these are to big for Mikes web site: My Minerals 08
