Affordable Mineral Specimens From Around the World

Featured Item: Native Gold

Location: Round Mountain Mine Nye County, Nevada

Size: 0.6x0.4x0.2cm

Item #: #Gold11

Comments: This specimen displays excellent color, luster and an intricate and complicated crystalline structure. It is made up of flattened octahedra; contains hoppered crystal faces; and displays a type of deposition or growth that I call parallel deposition of extremely thin layers. Being a forester, it reminds me of topographic or contour lines on a map.

The historic Adelaide Mine located near Dundas in Tasmania, world famous for its beautiful crocoite specimens, has now been purchased from its owner of over 30 years, Frank Mihajlowits, by recently established enterprise, The Adelaide Mining Company Pty Ltd (TAMC for short). TAMC was created with the main aim of mining Tasmanian mineral specimens and then marketing these internationally. As well as the crocoite for which the mine is most renowned, TAMC will also be searching for the other related minerals which can be found at this location, these include dundasite, cerussite (plain and chrome), phosgenite and embolite, just to name a few.

A large number of good crocoite specimens have already been recovered during the early work carried out. These specimens have been comprised of a wide assortment of varying types, with crocoite found in many different colours, crystal habits and formations. One type of particular note being specimens that feature crocoite along with gibbsite, exhibiting multiple generations of growth in intricate tree like structures.

In addition to those minerals mined by itself, TAMC is also actively seeking out fine Tasmanian (and other Australian) mineral specimens, by either trade, purchase or to sell on consignment, in order to market them to the rest of the mineral collecting world.

What do I collect? Chinese Minerals, which you can see on display at the University of Arizona, Tucson campus, on display until December 2013

What do we do in "real life?" In mid-2000, I finished (FINALLY!) my thesis to complete graduate studies for a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. Dealing with the mechanisms of control of gene expression by nuclear receptors (estrogen, vitamin A, vitamin D, thyroid hormone receptors, etc...). I earned my doctoral degree at the University of California-San Diego, which is what brought an Ohio boy this far West in the first place. Despite conflict between rocks and biology, biology won out at some point and I decided to pursue the PhD and perhaps go into academia.

With the advent of the internet, however, I changed my mind and, given the chance, I am now pursuing the minerals FULLtime and then some(obviously!).

I was one of the first websites to begin selling minerals on the net, and I think that the internet has lent new life and excitement to this hobby that I have loved since childhood. It is a pleasure to have taken part in this change, and I thank my friends and customers for their support!

Featured Item: Smithsonite

Location: Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia

Item: TSU12-08

Comments: Two stacked crystals, the larger one being doubly terminated and 2.1 cm across, of lustrous and translucent, golden yellow, cadmium rich smithsonite, form a competition quality miniature here. The back side one one lower face/edge has been contacted but it is of little significance as you would display the specimen for aesthetics anyhow. A beautiful cluster of this very rare, saturated yellow-amber color.

Arrowwood Minerals is a "no frills" website developed to offer the best value in quality mineral specimens from my personal collection. I am downsizing my collection and have several hundred fine specimens, as well as several hundred additional specimens acquired at major shows and from exchanges and purchases from other collectors and dealer friends.

I don't have fancy graphics or a neat shopping cart / checkout feature, but I do have many minerals from locales no longer producing, in quality that is often very difficult to find anymore. Compare the aesthetics, quality and price to those of some of the high priced, big name dealers, and you will find that my offerings are second to none.

This is a new website and is pretty much unknown, so I plan on adding specimens every few weeks to get things up and running. I do not plan on leaving "SOLD" minerals on the site for more than a few days after they are sold. There are plenty of folks that do not have high speed connections and downloading a lot of sold specimens irks people. If you are looking for anything in particular, send me an email with your wants and I'll see if I have anything for you. Most of my collection consists of display quality miniatures and small cab specimens. I am a collector of high quality cerussite, and will trade or purchase if you have anything I need.

Featured Item: Ferberite

Fluorite (Elmwood Mine, Smith Co., Tennessee) on a matrix of Russ Rizzo (Sparks, Nevada)

Spodumene var. Triphane
Darre Pech, Afghanistan

Welcome to Cal Neva Mineral Company. My name is Russell Rizzo. I have been collecting minerals for 17 years and selling them for the past 12. I relocated from San Diego, CA to Sparks, NV in 2002, which gave me the time to fulfill my dream of selling minerals via the internet. In case you are wondering about the name, because of our close proximity to the California-Nevada border quite a few things in this area are named Cal Neva. Also, it seemed natural to name the company Cal Neva since I was born in California and now reside in Nevada.

You are invited to come in and have a look around. You will find a global assortment of quality minerals for the intermediate and advanced collector. No slick graphics or other flashy stuff at Cal Neva, just good minerals at reasonable prices. After all you are just here for the rocks, so please come and visit us. I think you'll like what you see.

Featured Item: Pyrite

Location: Quiruvilca Mine, La Libertad Department, Peru

Size: 5.5 x 5 x 4.5 cm

Item #: P-069

Comments: This specimen of Pyrite possesses a great brilliance and complex crystallography. In addition to its great form, the terminations of the crystals have triangle-shaped modifications. This specimen also has curious forms of growth patterns that are present on all the faces of the Pyrite. It is complete all around except for an area of contact on the rear\bottom. Pyrite does not often form in crystals of this habit and although not rare, are very hard to come by.

I founded ChucksRocks.com in 2007 as an extension of my love for rocks and minerals.

Early in 2007, I purchased a small piece of property in Teller County, Colorado. The property is known as the Sleeping Princess Mine and has produced beautiful amazonite and smoky quartz specimens, along with several other pegmatite minerals. The property is near Crystal Peak, and is located in an area known for producing very fine specimens.

I am a geologist and mining engineer, and I work at a mine in Virginia. This online business is really just a way to help pay for my hobby and give me an avenue to "share" some of the great finds from the Sleeping Princess property.

You will find some great Colorado minerals on this site as well as several other specimens. I've picked up here and there.

Browse and enjoy!

It started out simply as a hobby for John Steenbergen. The great outdoors always seemed to get the better of him, so whenever there were days to spare, he would pack the old faithful Commer van with camping gear, fishing rods, picks, shovel and, of course, the gold pan, setting off to any stream, river, or lake to catch that elusive trout, or pan for the lovely yellow stuff - Gold! As time went by a wife, Cecile, and four children shared the same interest, picking up pretty pebbles, or curious and interesting looking rocks and crystals. At he end of the day the campfire would be lit by Cecile and and the freshly caught rainbow trout placed in the pan for evening meal, while John would set up the tent for the night ahead. Exploring these mountains, rivers and lakes was a time to be treasured forever. Now, over forty something fossicking and collecting years later, they are the proud owners of one of Australia's largest rock shops, situated on the Bruce Highway, linking Queensland's major cities, as well as Australia's premier rock, mineral, crystal, gemstone and fossil websites.

Alpine Mineral Company

Like a lot of people who got interested in rocks at an early age, I completely forgot about them for many years, first when I discovered girls, and after rediscovering rocks, when I discovered I couldn't afford the ones I wanted. After a few years of college and chasing the Grateful Dead, in 1989 I married a Jane of my own (nice name, Jane...) and actually got her halfway up Mount Antero on our honeymoon (until she reminded me that Aquamarine was not what that trip was about).
Around 1990, I began gathering specimens for resale in the retail store I owned. I made a number of connections through ads, the internet, and going to shows, many of whom have become friends over the years. As time has progressed, I've narrowed my focus to Alpine and Gem Pegmatite minerals - the rocks that I find the most fascinating and the ones I could never afford as a kid.

I've been continuing the visits to rock shows ever since,and I've enjoyed getting to know many talented rock delaers and miners. And that leads to today I'm ready to start cutting loose some of the collection.

Benitoite Gem Mine

If you have spent any time viewing any of my websites you know that I have a passion for BaTiSi3O9 also known as Benitoite. This is the focus of my personal collection - benitoite from any global locality and mineral species from the Benitoite Gem mine. You can see some of the specimens in my collection by clicking the JV's Collection link above or below.

I created this website, not only to offer specimens for sale, but also as an information source for benitoite and the minerals that are found at Benitoite Gem mine. When I dream at night I dream of blue triangles! I really like this mineral a lot!

I do not deal in cut gemstones so if you are looking for that kind of benitoite you'll have to go elsewhere. The thought of flaking a crystal of this rare species off matrix and chopping it up is, to me at least, the equivalent of crashing a porsche into a tree for kicks. You can go to my pal's site Steve Perry Gem's - I refer to him as Steve's Chop Shop - for faceted benitoite.

Brazilian Minerals

For 30 years I taught mineralogy in several Brazilian universities, always seeking to give a practical vision. I passed from laboratories classes to field classes leading the students to the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia and Espirito Santo, showing them the largest Brazilian minerals resources. I created a circle of friendship among the miners, prospectors and small regional merchants and I formed my private collection, nowadays my collection consist of some thousands pieces. Upon a visit several websites I realize that many interesting samples are not offered to the public. I learned from my studies that the old collectors can be interested on these minerals and the beginners can find materials at low cost with a great esthetic value. Thinking about that I organized this web-site to offer you pieces that are not available in any other web-site.

Chuck's Rocks

I founded ChucksRocks.com in 2007 as an extension of my love for rocks and minerals. Early in 2007, I purchased a small piece of property in Teller County, Colorado. The property is known as the Sleeping Princess Mine and has produced beautiful amazonite and smoky quartz specimens, along with several other pegmatite minerals. The property is near Crystal Peak, and is located in an area known for producing very fine specimens. I am a geologist and mining engineer, and I work at a mine in Virginia. This online business is really just a way to help pay for my hobby and give me an avenue to ?share? some of the great finds from the Sleeping Princess property. You will find some great Colorado minerals on this site as well as several other specimens I?ve picked up here and there. Browse and enjoy!

Clean Rocks

WHAT IS MINERAL CURATION?
Mineral curation is the removal of unwanted stains, films, or coatings, unwanted matrix and broken crystals. The two principal ways of accomplishing this is with chemicals and by mechanical means.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
The advantages are two fold. One, you end up with a specimen that is more esthetically pleasing to the eye and two, you increase the saleability of the piece.
