JC7560. Scheelite, epidote, andradite. Merrill prospect, Coyote ridge, Bishop Tungsten district, Inyo county, California. 4 x 8 cm 117g. $15.00 Several poorly formed scheelite crystals on poorly formed epidote and minor andradite. There were a couple of zones in this deposit, one zone being epidote rich, and the other zone andradite rich. I collected these in 2014. Bright white fluorescence on the scheelites. |

JC4489. Almandine. Pee Wee Gulch, Nr. Emerald creek, Latah county, Idaho. 2.5 x 3 cm 23g. $8.00 . Although Garnet Gulch is the most often seen location for these, the mica schists that these occur in are scattered over a fairly large area. Pee Wee gulch is a nearby location. They look very similar to Garnet gulch specimens, but tend to be a bit more rounded and often have a bit of schist clinging to them. RESERVED |

JC12306. Fluorite. Dixie mine, Mountain Wells district, Churchill county, Nevada 3.5 x 5 x 6 cm 127g $15.00 Collected in 2022. There are 3 zones of crystals at this mine, running approximately west to east. The left most zone has the honey color crystals, the central zone has the purple tinted, somewhat botryoidal looking material, and the east most zone has gray to light green crystals. This piece is from the eastern part of the deposit, with very pale green cubic crystals, quite transparent with good luster. |

JC12312. Fluorite. Dixie mine, Mountain Wells district, Churchill county, Nevada 6 x 8 x 13 cm 595g $35.00 Collected in 2022. There are 3 zones of crystals at this mine, running approximately west to east. The left most zone has the honey color crystals, the central zone has the purple tinted, somewhat botryoidal looking material, and the east most zone has gray to light green crystals. This piece is from the eastern part of the deposit, with very pale green cubic crystals, quite transparent with good luster. Of interest is the knob on top, when looked at vertically and sidewise appears octahedral, probably just a fluke of nature rather than a coating of fluorite over an octahedral mineral, still interesting though. Cabinet size piece. |
