Location: Minas Gerais, Brazil
Size: 6.6 x 4.1 x 2.6 cm
Ex Larry Krause Collection.
Comments: You usually think of lepidolite as a humble accenting mineral, in little blooms or microcrystals on tourmaline specimens, for example. But here is a striking example of lepidolite alone! It is an arrowhead-shaped, stepped-growth "book" of hundreds of thin layers of this pretty lavender-colored mica variety. Stunning translucency and color, when backlit! It glows!

Location: Darrah Pech (Pech Valley), Pegmatite Field, Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan Size: 6 cm by 7.4 cm by 5 cm
Item: MIN#Tucson2010-301
Ex. Weill Mineral Collection
Comments: These breathtaking combination specimens appeared in Tucson about eight years ago and I recall that they were from a very small find. Needless to say, they disappeared from the market very quickly and this is the first specimen I've been able to find in years. I count 9 Topaz crystals in total with the largest measuring just shy of 4 cm in size! Intense gemmy green Tourmalines with full terminations are scattered about the specimen adding a beautiful color contrast.

We are Karin and Wolli. Both of us have been collecting minerals since we are small children. So we also met on a mineral show, felt in love undergrounds in the old mines of the Lavrion district and married 1 year later-this was in 1997. Short time later we bought a big old farmers house to have plenty of space for our minerals. Our career as mineral dealers started in 1986. Our specialities are minerals from the Black Forest , the Lavrion district in Greece and at least worldwide old timed specimen and esthetic minerals.We?ve written several articles about the minerals of Lavrion and the Black Forest. So we are the onliest autors who have written two complete Lapis double issues. Also we are owners of one of the world?s best Lavrion collections. Several pecimen are self collected underground and also boght directly from the localpeople-that?s the secret of our good prices. So please test us, our seriousity and authenticity-you will be surprised.VISIT OUR SHOP

Minerals From around the World.
Since its inception in 1998, the Natural History department has conducted a series of seven auctions, firmly establishing the company as the forerunner in the field internationally.With consignments culled from private collections, paleontologists, fossil preparators, quarry and mine owners, the auctions are successful in providing specimens which are fresh to the market.
A wide range of categories are offered including: unmounted faceted and cabochon gemstones; cat's eye and other rare phenomenal gemstones; mineral specimens; amber, pearls, seashells, meteorites, archeological artifacts, petrified wood, ammonites, plant and animal fossils and dinosauria. Prices range from $500 to $200,000 with items of interest to both seasoned and novice collectors, enthusiasts and interior decorators.
With each category drawing significant numbers of new consignors and buyers, and achieving strong prices through international, competitive bidding, Bonhams & Butterfields is now a recognized leader in the sales of Natural History of all sorts.
Our auctions are fully illustrated online and through our catalogues and are viewable in person at our Los Angeles galleries.
It's been a while since I've updated my website. Between selling a house, work, and taking a trip out to the Denver show I didn't have much spare time. Anyway, an update has been posted, including minerals from new finds: epidote and prehnite from Mali, spessartines from Brazil and China, mordenite and cavansite from India, orpiment from Russia, and tourmaline from Brazil.Also, the mineral auction site I'm involved with is hosting the annual Rocks and Minerals magazine color fund benefit auction.
Regular auctions there will begin October 1st. We plan on having two per week from then on, ending on Monday and Thursday evenings at 8 PM Central Time. Please let me know if you have any questions.
After a great show here in Tucson and a hectic time both before and after the show, the "dust has finally settled". So, here's the latest update on www.douglassminerals.com, with new items I found and was able to buy at reasonable prices.I hope you will enjoy perusing the new arrivals and can find something of interest.
As I indicated last month, I'm now doing Ebay. There's a link on the homepage to get you there quickly.

Happy New Year! I am finally back from all of my holiday visits. Since I survived relatives, assembling my sons' presents, and holiday traffic, I thought I would celebrate with a 15% off sale! Everything, in all galleries, is reduced until January 21.
Also, I know many people in the countries that were hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Thailand and Sri Lanka are sources for many gemstones and minerals. 10% of all sales in January, including auctions and eBay, will be donated to reconstruction efforts in those countries
