While they arent "pigeon blood", they are definitely very very clean for this locale, Ive heard that these bad boys turn deep red when heated. I personally like them unheated though because the only way you can obtain unheated material is from the natives who go out and mine it by hand. All the material that came out from the mining companies and operations was heated.
Not somthing you see often (if at all), was very fortunate to have picked this one up, the color is top notch! It was mined and cut all by the same gentleman I aquired it from, genuinely Greenlands finest!
Quite a large vein of the ever elusive species Hodgkinsonite, this piece is also coated in Willemite, size is 70mm x 37mm x 35mm
Heres a nicely saturated yellow hauyne from the newer find in the Sar-i-Sang region of Afghanistan. Its noticeably included with silk and other small inclusions, however over all its still fully transparent. Theres not many of these out there, let alone examples with transparent clarity or better. This is also rather large, most specimens tend to be around 0.15ct-0.2ct.

Heres a neat little specimen from my collection. Durangite is a pleasent orange to red mineral only found at 11 locales world wide, with only 3-4 of those bearing non-micro crystals. The main producer of nice material is the type locale, the Barranca Mine in Durango, Mexico, where this one is from. Unfortunately theres only a handful of faceted examples documented, I believe all being under 1ct.
I recently started selling, everything was going smoothly until this morning I woke up to a ton of notifications saying all my items where hidden and I couldnt access any pay outs. I went into it and it said I needed an ID verification, which was easy and I completed it, and I also need to add tracking to my orders. All of my orders automatically have tracking numbers associated with them already, but the warning wont go away, what is going on? Ebay ai has been just about 0 help
Heres a neat set, its a faceted chambersite gemstonr and a rough crystal. Chambersites are known for being exceptionally small, meaning facets are very hard to come by. The facet is about 1.3mm.

Heres a super neat specimen, its a Calcite stalactite that has Henmilite crystals forming on it. These are only coming out of 1 small section of the overall mine, specifically the 4th floor of the mine. For those who dont know, the Fuka Mine is the only place in the world thay Henmilite forms. A little bonus is the Calcite is phosphorescent, meaning it glows for a second or 2 after UV exposure (I have a vid, dm me and Ill send it over)

price is for all together as a bundle
This bad boys are from a very new and very small find of material that happened late 2024. This stuff isnt going to really hit the open market in abundance as only 60 grams of material was found. Each of these is about 5ct and they have insane etchings, 2 of which have naturally etche'd holes!β This price is very low for this stuff, (look at comps on ebay, search "virgem da Lapa Rhodochrosite " π).

Ive owned and seen a handful of matrix examples from this particular find and I have yet to see another Ludlamite matrix. Its a ~2mm thick crust of Ludlamite over top of the typical black rock matrix, definetly an odd ball piece.
I thought you couldn't equip a branded decal to a branded car?
Super cool Hackmanite from a new find, it starts as a soft orange and changes to a flowery pink after uv exposure, this gem is around .6ct.

This piece is a great example of the purple vivianites from the Blackbird Mine in Idaho. There's 4-5 small crystals on top that are notably purple, might be a few small ones I missed. The large crystals that form a "V" shape are dark green to blue, NOT purple, the only crystals that are purple are the small ones on top. Matrix specimens of any size or color from this locale are extremely rare as A. There just wasn't many collected on matrix and B. The matrix deteriorates causing the whole piece to crumble. This one shows signs of deterioration on the back, however over all the piece is stable. The matrix on this piece is also rather abnormal, its made up of quartz and clusters of micro siderite crystals.
These purple examples where only found 1 singular time 70+ years ago in the Blackbird Mine of Idaho, which has been closed for 40 years now. With that, please note this piece is faded a bit as vivianite is typically a semi unstable species in the first place. Ive included pictures that are backlit to show off its color, and Ive included pictures with ambient light to show it "unaided".

Origin: Blackbird Mine, Lamhi County, Idaho, USA
Note: Comes with many collection labels
Note: this is cheap due to the fact that its faded in color, the photo is backlit to showcase the purple area, there is also faded brown areas so the piece isnt pure purple
Heres a single crystal of purple vivianite from the one and only 1950's find from the Blackbird Mine of Idaho. This material practically dosnt exist on the open market, this is because the material is around 70 years old, and its highly desired, meaning most is hoarded.

Sad that these are a bit light sensitive, because they are fabulous when back lit π€
