  • Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP14)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Cool combination of nice light smokey quartz crystals and deep amethyst crystals in the same vein. Nice healed fracturing evident on the edge. This piece has a cut-flat bottom so it stands up and displays very nicely. Take a look at the cut bottom and you’ll see the very graphic splitting of the matrix and the subsequent infilling with white quartz and citrine.

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Rare, beautifully-shaped double bomb. These unique specimens form when two magma projectiles run into each other in flight before they completely harden. Each had started to acquire it’s own individual character before they combined and fell to Earth.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is a distal manus digit (“finger”) bone of Edmontosaurus. In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

    NAME: Edmontosaurus
    AGE: Cretaceous Period – 68 million years

  • Agatized Algae (AA6)

    Notes specific to this specimen: A nearly complete round algal “egg” that retains some of its 3-D character. Very rare. This one has various sections to it which feature different textures and colors, including a nice blueish agate region which is unusual in these specimens.

     

    SIZE: 4″x 2″x 2″

     

    NAME: Undescribed species
    AGE: Jurassic Period- 165 million years

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB6)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Complex plump fusiform bomb with smooth aerodynamic striations. Apparently ran into another bomb during flight and part of that bomb is still attached but is not complete. Natural breaks reveal chalcedony interior which fluoresces a vibrant green. Unusual.

    SIZE: 7″ x 4″ x 4″

  • Gypsum, Variety Selenite (AG7)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Very complex large modified rhomboid crystal pattern with mirror-clean faces. Nice clear crystal selenite with no inclusions. The very edges of some of the crystals show some wear but this only accents the beauty of the overall piece.

  • Volcanic Bomb (EB4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Large classic plump fusiform bomb with great aerodynamic striations. It looks like it encountered another in flight but did not complete the merging with it. Natural breaks reveals chalcedony interior which fluoresces a vibrant green. A great specimen.

  • Crystalized Clam (OK10)

    Crystalized fossil clams like this are exceptionally rare. These clams lived in a shallow sea that covered most of Florida 2 million years ago. A sudden storm event buried the clams, trapping cavities inside. When the shells began to dissolve, it provided the material necessary to grow calcite crystals in the open spaces. These unusual fossils are known from only one site, an old quarry near Lake Okeechobee. The quarry played out and flooded in 2007. We excavated this in 2023. An attractive and informative display card accompanies the specimen.

     

    Notes specific to this specimen: Two excellent full clams trapped in matrix. Both are recrystallized calcite replaced with clear zones evident. NOTE: These clams do not have any of the honey calcite crystals. But they sure are very cool!
