HematiteThis is a nice representative thumbnail specimen from one of the most storied and well known districts in Colorado. This particular specimen features botryoidal Hematite groups forming a good, full sized thumbnail. The quality is nice for this particular kind of Hematite from the area, and the piece is crystallized all the way around save the bottom where it detached from the pocket. Specimen# CO712B192

The Sunnyside Mine was one of the most prolific localities in the history of San Juan mining

Specimen # CUNM72003

I must stress that the Wavellite crystals are also very gemmy

The piece is complete all the way around and damage free

Regardless

has provided collectors with impressive display specimens

The piece was collected by Robert Stoufer in 1992 and is one of the most unique and pleasing Quartz / Amethyst specimens that I know of

Specimen # BOL711B51

You can see a bit of a golden hue on the edges when the crystals are backlit

the locality had not produced specimens in MANY years

which is a highly desirable quality in crystallized Copper specimens
