Beautiful Crocoite from Australia
Polished Emerald Crystals in Matrix-Brazil
Giant Rutile in Quartz-$20,000+
We did not get out much today; Just an hour or two at the Hotel Tucson City Center. I had to grab just a few things and back to the RV for a day of rest.
Nice Oak Slab
The table in front $90,000; The one in the rear $40,000
Today you can enjoy a few pictures from the recesses of that show.
The Emerald plates shown are commonly referred to as “mine run”. This quality used to be discarded. The ones pictured have fully polished crystal faces.
I found myself purchasing more Catseye Jade from a Russian. Some of the jade has very distinct Cats Eye phenomenon, but most of the ones I got, have more of a Schiller effect (adularescence) similar to Moonstone. These may need a little re-shaping, but I’m good with that.
The largest Petrified Wood Table we’ve seen is pictured here. This one was a giant slab of colorful Arizona Wood.
