This page features specimens from Nevada. 

	JC4463.  Andradite, quartz, epidote.  Cowboy mine, Wellington Hills, nr. Wellington, Lyon County, Nevada.  7 x 9 cm.  534g.  $35.00  Up to 18 mm dark brown andradite with somewhat poorly formed white quartz crystals and minor massive epidote.  I'm not sure when these were collected, but I'm guessing at least 10 years ago.  The Cowboy mine has been closed for many years.  Neat locality piece from a long closed locality.
	JC1267.  Andradite, calcite.  Alpine mine, Nightingale district, Pershing county, Nevada.  3.2 x 4.5 cm  33g.  $8.00.
	JC6089.  Andradite, adularia.  Richmond mine, Potosi district, Osgood Mountains, Humboldt County, Nevada.  4.4 x 5.6 cm tall x 6.2 cm wide.  189g.  $35.00.   A nice group of medium brown crystals nested in a vug of adularia crystals.  Sawn base.
	JC3305.  Andradite, quartz.  Richmond mine, Osgood Mountains, Potosi district, Humboldt county, Nevada.    3.5 x 4.5 cm.  91g.  $15.00.   The crystal is approximately  2.5 cm in size.   The back side has been broken off, and the other side of the crystals shows contact where another crystal used to grow against.   Displayable from the front as shown here in these two views.

	JC2373.  Andradite.  Cowboy mine (near), Wellington Hills, nr. Wellington, Lyon Co., Nevada.    3 x 4.9 cm     60g.  $15.00.   Glassy, gemmy in part crystals.  Although hard to tell in the photos, these crystals are partially transparent.  The luster is very bright, with lots of sparkle. Unless the specimen is turned to reflect the light off the crystal faces, it is hard to tell that you are looking at a complete crystal.  The outer layer of the crystals is completely transparent.  When you look at the photo closely, you can tell by looking at the reflected crystal angles that there is a complete crystal, and you are actually seeing into the crystal.  This is best seen by looking at the thumbnail crystal shown in JC2377.  Collected in 2000.
	JC2587.  Andradite, epidote.  Cowboy mine (near), Wellington Hills, nr. Wellington, Lyon Co., Nevada.   4.3 x 4.6 cm   142g.  $15.00.    Glassy, gemmy in part crystals.  Although hard to tell in the photos, these crystals are partially transparent.  The luster is very bright, with lots of sparkle.  Two views are shown.  Collected in 2000.   Sawn base.
