  • Crystalized Welks (W2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Fossil welks are much rarer than the clams found at Rucks Pit and most of them have no crystals.  But, when you do find a nice crystal-line specimen, there’s nothing like it in the world!  This is a single welk with a natural opening on its dorsal (top) allowing you to see the crystal lining of the shell and the gray sparite “floor” that was the sediment which partially filled the shell after the animal had died.  Very unusual.

    SIZE: 4″

  • Cerdito Prospect Rift Crystals (CP11)

    Notes specific to this specimen: White druzy quartz with just a hint of purple dominates top of this specimen with some clear crystals as well. Sides show multiple healed fractures. Take a look at the cut bottom and you’ll see the very graphic splitting of the matrix and the subsequent infilling.

  • Kona Dolomite (KONA10)
