I’ve added more gorgeous specimens in this latest update from the John S. White quartz collection.

I’ve posted the first in a series of updates with superb specimens from John White’s collection. These wonderful high-quality specimens from John’s collection are from a wide range of localities (classic to contemporary) and include a variety of minerals.

The Tucson Gem and Mineral show was great this year! This report includes photos of mineral specimens from many new finds.
