Crystal collection # 1

Well the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived. As I mentioned before, my crystal collection is quite extensive. It involves at least four shelf displays and some free standing pieces, (way too many to show them all, even though I would love to do that)

A large quartz crystal compliments our living room.

It is 8" and weighs about 5 lbs

An amethyst bloom sits in a shadow box, also in the living room .

This fibrous specimen is natural asbestos

Don't worry. Limited exposure won't cause cancer.

This colorful piece is Apophylite on Stilbite.

This pic came out much better than I expected

Another stilbite is one that Andrea got me for a birthday present when I first started collecting.

For obvious reasons, It is one of my favorites.

A favorite among collectors is the Selenite rose.

This cluster is large at 10" x 6". One of those had to have pieces.

This is a selenite point from "Cave Of Swords " in Chihuahua Mexico

These Selenites are the hardest in the world.

Here is a Chromium Quartz point with inclusions.

I may have mentioned it before, I'm not a green fan. But how do you say no to this cutie?

Citrine is a very pretty crystal.

This is dark citrine. Citrine is the result of Amethyst being exposed to extreme heat, like volcanic activity.

Here is an Ametrine cluster

A cousin to Citrine, it is Amethyst that has been exposed to extreme heat for a limited amount of time.

Well I have plenty more crystals to show, but Ill have to do them in segments if ya'll are interested. Let me know.
