Emerald

Schorl & Muscovite August 15th
Specimens from Herb Obodda - I visited with Herb and Monika Obodda recently and was able to secure a group of fine minerals to post in conjunction with their incredible displays at the East Coast Show.

Zircon August 15th
Red Zircon from Paksitan - Dudley Blauwet had a new find of reddish colored zircon specimens available. He had 20 or so specimens and of these I found 5 that were in pretty decent condition. These are very weakly fluorescent under SW UV light.

Adamite - Mexico

Rhodochrosite-N'Chwaning
August 15th
General East Coast Show Specimens - After three days of prowling the show floor I came up with this assortment of mineralogical wonders!

Gold - Nevada
August 15th
Gold from Nevada - Reno dealer Scott Werschky had a flat of pretty decent gold specimens from the Olinghouse mine near Reno, Nevada. This locality has been known for some time now but good specimens have become very scarce. They have a very pleasing filagree habit and have small leaves and wires mixed in there. 10 specimens in all.

Veszelyite - Montana August 15th
Specimens from the United States - I found a small group of specimens at the show to include here - all from the USA. There is also a large cabinet specimen of benitoite that I self collected at the mine in 2003.
