Featured Item:
Pyrargyrite
 |
Location: San Luis Shaft, Proano Mine, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico
Size: 5.8 x 4.7 cm
Item #: S13628
Comments: It has been said that Fresnillo pyrargyrites qualify as the nicest of their kind ever found. This highly unusual purplish red
group of pyrargyrites is like none I have ever seen before, with a single flaring from one end. I like this specimen very much
for this reason - its first and second order generation growth. Rarely do you see such an elongated prismatic habit
associated with stout hexagonal prisms. This specimen's incredible 3 dimensional upright prism to 3.4 cm in length is
its highlight. This is not only totally unique but makes the piece. When held under a strong light it pops an exotic red color.
Superb silver mineral in my book. It also forms a set of bright pristine damage free faces full of fire.

My name is Giuseppe Passarino, I was born in 1962 in La Spezia, in Liguria, the city where I reside.
I became interested in mineralogy in 1978 and since then, except for brief periods, I always tried in the territory of my province, in Genoa and the Apuan Alps. From this point of living in a city that within a hundred kilometers has mineralogical localities such as Val Graveglia with its manganese mines and quarries of Carrara marble is a real fortune.
Particularly important in my training was and is friendship and collaboration with local experts find, is both the Val di Carrara Graveglia.
I tried mineral in Sicily, Campania, Island of Elba, Trentino Alto Adige, Lombardy, Piedmont, Val d'Aosta and especially in Sardinia, a region that I love deeply in relation to its large mining history. I tried mineral abroad in Austria, Switzerland, France and Madagascar.
For some time I have resided in the vicinity of Carrara, a situation that has given me the opportunity to follow the work of the local marble quarries in particular perseverance and to attend and study the archival documents of the former Mining District focusing my attention to mining events have occurred in the break and mines copper and manganese Libiola Graveglia Valley (both in the territory of Genoa) understood as "interpretations" of the whole mining history of Liguria.
In 1990, following my discovery of some samples of halloysite (first found in the cavities of the marble of the Apuan Alps), I wrote my first article for the Italian Mineralogical Magazine then followed by many others.
In 1998 I started working with Paul De Nevi, owner of Luna Editore, passionate lover of stories and indefatigable editor of Lunigiana.
"Marconi" job, for now the inevitable evolution of my work is done primarily through the use of computer systems, will inevitably be a hobby "would end in" a personal computer.

Minerals and
geology
form the bedrock of our lives. For many years we have sifted through
Poland, Europe and, indeed, the whole world, in search of interesting
geological phenomena, such as volcanoes and glaciers. The discovery of
minerals is of prime importance to us.
Last year was
particularly active, with voyages to the Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria,
Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, India, Russia, Turkey,
Mongolia, China, Tajikistan and Madagascar. The resulting science
articles, exhibitions and specimens are the provenance of our
Geological Society, known as ?Spirifer?. Between voyages for Spirifer,
we are students passionate about our work. Spirifer is a non-profit
organization based solely on volunteerism. Its main purpose is Earth
science education. We compose and publish the only periodical in Poland
for minerals collectors; it is called ?Otoczak?
(www.spirifer.most.org.pl/otoczak/). We also organize minerals
exchanges, exhibitions, shows (www.mineraly.waw.pl), as well as provide
organized weekly educational lessons to children
(www.pracownia.spirifer.org).

My mineral collecting
interests are pretty broad, but I try to focus on aesthetic examples of
rare and unusual specimens in the thumbnail to micromount sizes. I
particularly love radioactive minerals. It is no surprise that the
contents of this website reflect those interests.
My philosophy for
this site is to offer interesting minerals at fair prices. I travel a
lot buying and trading, and many dealers save unusual specimens for me.
If you have special requests, let me know, I just might be able to find
you one!

special, in my
opinion. |

Welcome to the
web
site of Earlene and John Schooler! Even though we are
primarily a mineral dealer, we are a fossil dealer and a meteorite
dealer
as well. We have been providing collectors, museums, schools, and
universities
(both within and outside the USA) with above average quality specimens
of
minerals, fossils, and meteorites at reasonable prices, for more years
than
seems possible. While many people think of rocks and minerals as being
the
same thing, they are not. Minerals have a solid crystalline structure
with a specific chemical composition, whereas rocks are a mass of
broken
particles of minerals. We have mineral specimens for sale! Most
everyone
is familiar with calcite, tourmaline, and gold specimens. We carry
those
along with a wide variety of other minerals for sale. Over the years,
tektites, fulgurites, and carvings have been added to our basic
"mineral store."

The
Sunnywood Collection
The notion of
mounted
minerals began in the fall of 1984 when Bill and Elsie Stone,
owners of the Sunnywood Collection wanted to display several large
specimens from
their mineral collection in the living room. The specimens were large
enough that
they might damage the furniture. They decided to construct a custom
base out of
hardwood to hold the specimens in a stable but artistic position. From
the first mounted specimens came The Sunnywood Collection, providing
museum quality mineral and fossil specimens from world-wide localities
and carvings from Brazil. All specimens from The Sunnywood Collection
are mounted on either exotic or domestic hardwoods or acrylic bases.

Trinity
Mineral Co.
In the past several
years I have seen too many new dealers enter the market who know little
to nothing about crystallography, petrology, chemistry or any of the
basic fundamentals of mineralogy. At shows more than half the dealers
simply put rocks out on a table or shelf with no pricing, no
identification, or locality information. I have seen other dealers
continue to push specimens to seemingly arbitrary pricing levels with
the belief that there is always someone out there who will think that a
high price is equal to high quality. This is an unhealthy trend in this
hobby and one that needs to be addressed in some way by the mineral
collecting community.
I have been a mineral
collector since the mid 1970s and have seen the pricing for minerals
expand at a rate that is unsupportable over the long term. My basic
philosophy for pricing specimens is to ensure that when you open the
box you feel as though you have received value for your purchase.
