Minnesota Thomsonite (MNT001)
Notes specific to this specimen: Rare dense accumulation of nodules in matrix, from what was known as a “Bonanza” zone in the “Pink Pit”. Colors varied from pit to pit in the mine. The Pink Pit was the largest and most accessible pit and was right in the center of the Thomsonite Mine, adjacent to the parking area. On rare occasions we would mine into a “Bonanza” which was a zone especially dense with nodules. This piece has a sawn flat bottom with smoothed and polished front and natural rough back. It has a very bright, large single nodule on the top, sticking out of the matrix with a brilliant polish. It could be removed and cut for jewelry.

Rainbow Stromatolite (RS1)
Notes specific to this specimen: This is one of the original discovery pieces, collected by us in August 2025. It is characteristic of all the variety of colors found in this site. We’ve never seen such a variety of colors of stromatolite from a single site. It reminded us of all the colors of Arizona petrified wood – known as “Rainbow Wood” – and this became the source for our naming this new discovery “Rainbow Stromatolite”.
