Hello all-
While the vast majority of you are strictly down with the space rocks, there
many equally addicted to terran minerals as well. I had the opportunity to
cherry pick some really nice amethyst cathedrals on Friday and though I
would make them available here. These are the deepest, royal purple I have
ever seen and have the tiniest crystals you can find. The big advantage
there is the combination of maximum interior surface and light catching
ability. From a collector standpoint, that is what I prefer, as opposed to
the larger, more washed out, crystals. I have two pieces that were of the
same whole. One is pictured below, the other is quite similar but for a
single cluster of pure white calcite and a base that is much deeper. There
is thready calcite veining in both. They are ~20 inches tall and weigh about
25 pounds. They don't get any better. Price: $350 each or $650 for the pair
plus actual shipping and insurance to be paid in a second payment once I
send. Now, for your viewing pleasure:

I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy tomorrow's Leonids, looks bad here
in Oregon.
