[Music] [Laughter] once again it's Bo every year I say the same thing is this gorgeous so we have our miniatures and thumbnails collection have we do every year it's sort of become a popular item for a very lecture there's a lot of collectors so like the miniatures this is beautiful and you have thumbnails in there as well absolutely yeah fantastic and some rarities we have a little worth site over there an Allen a really nice alan a baron and i lasting one of those wheat she throw to crow sights everybody likes those cordilla light this is unbelievable oh wow that's a scepter yeah going through there so it's a yes a sight that has sort of pierced this other growth of calcite coated with amethyst and it's just sort of floating like a torch it's um a shape of us like somebody made it and just stuck it in there it's crazy it's fabulous yeah you got the accent and you know that the calcite grew probably is a tall scaly Nahid Rijn and then it has this hexagonal barrel that just grew on top of that and then this little peak like a smokestack and Nevison a super is totally unique yeah totally in the super seen and the wonderful color of the amethyst too as well yeah the juxta contrast of the two not the juxtapose the juxtaposition and the the contrast make it outstanding the the color is that I happen to like when the amethyst shows a little bit of white yo yeah exactly I like that better that look than just the solid dark purple never seen anything like that in the world now I've never seen it no super super cool ah beautiful thing and the opposite of a thumbnail then we have some more miniatures and thumbnails over here hey thanks I always have fabulous things yeah this is great it's not that gorgeous painting error that she's beautiful this crystal is probably nine inches see under 10 inches now and this one is totally transparent in gym on the courts it's a beautiful piece tastic and then we have a beautiful floor right here from sham bow and that's up now blue and purple in it yeah yeah put the calcite yeah calcite crystals there so we put a couple of larger pieces out so that people can get an idea of what it's like to have them in their home that's where in a bookcase or something like that correct yeah these are great dude you're fat and I grate the tree oh it's unbelievable absolutely fabulous you got this giant doubly terminated tourmaline look at the shape of that yeah perfect the way it tapers hmm it's reminiscent down a permit yes totally doubly terminates fabulous we never seen one so perfect it looks just like it was molded yeah yeah it's fabulous and then the quality of the matrix of the aquamarine is really mad at us you know stands out like a sore thumb the Muscovites are not always good from there sometimes it can be like white and chalky or a thin and yellow and these are like the glassy silvery ones with god thick books that's right they're just perfect backdrop for the blue aquas in this for a common mineral but this is not common look at the new happiness the color the zoning that color will knock you nama knock you out Elmwood that's and it's perfect never seen anything like that quality in some nice ones but that beats anything I remember see it yeah it's a stunning object absolutely stunning just unbelievable here you got a beautiful rhodochrosite Madeline re those things are hard to get you don't see them anymore oh yeah that must help me out of a collection ah it's just so hard to get and native silver no key went off goes on and on and on there were that cube cube on there that is a beautiful all right China at its best oh yeah there a lot of good stuff coming out of there it's amazing the big look we ladder down it the color colors the that pocket has the best color it's unbelievable yeah it's spectacular at UPenn law in courts there mm-hmm you don't see too many of those anymore they're hard to get yeah not great ones that's a good one in that in that size that's a bad fairly good killer there aren't many at all that's about it it's fun mineral the Hamburg I that I'd love because I've seen so rarity here shooting up like that with the tourmaline and what is that steel bite or something at the left sides muscovite oh no that's okay and some albeit on the lower right so it's nice as a good combination well they're big twin oh it's wonderful never seen one like that I've seen a few big ones but that's a killer it's the best one I've ever seen in the cherry red cinnabar oh yeah that's hard to get you get those gem like that mm-hmm years ago I saw a few of them but they haven't seen one sense till this one this is our entry case yeah you know the really nice big luck with a lot of fluoride on the top you it'll fall sitting on the calcite the Sun believe it just blanks by the tourmaline yes this thing I love because you do not get double terminated light color courses when you see them on matrix they're always cloudy foggy well I like that's a gem crystal house flaws behind it back in there but to get that double terminated on there that that's a very rare specimen yeah kind of some belated at this if that isn't a jewel but it looks like somebody had to make that exactly in the zoning of those floor rights it's absolutely gorgeous you don't see things like that no that's a wonderful piece in the electric color of the pyro excellent colors beautiful yeah jumps out at you look at nice as you're right up there yeah there's a full thing there's no sealer saturates they're hard to beat oh yeah very by the best ones there justice I think they set the bar now with the exception of a handful from tsumeb that still oh you see that there's still for you from tsumeb that cut the cake but yes there's I think more no pilis I think so true because I have some see not just in quantity right now but more outstanding that's correct that's correct as soon as I looked in this case I said holy cow look at that that's a beautiful thing I love the drusy white yeah everything got everything you want yeah absolutely yeah look at the shading all the different shading in that what would you say the five most important mineral species 20 years ago golds it gold certainly silver silver tourmaline is very high yeah pin yo certainly so rhodochrosite and we need one more aquamarine Murray okay so I agree with you wholeheartedly that those were the we call them the big five yes so silver has pretty much dropped out and fluorides taken its place oh we're interesting in my opinion yeah I humble okay well you're in business made that definitely you would know that so yeah yeah not that great Silver's aren't as coveted as they once were but there just aren't many great silver that's right and most people want one maybe two examples yeah they don't usually collect a hundred of them where fluorides also heirs I mean look at this case alone you have one down to three yeah we're going for five flaw rights in there every single one's different yeah that's what they're this has got me what an unusual thing which one this calcite cool yeah it's a while that the inclusion said yeah it has from where you're standing you probably see it really well yeah it's distill bike there's a still my crystal it's okay so you're getting the double refraction yes but its internal double refraction so it looks like almost like two blades I don't know if you get it Bryce yeah I see what you're talking about no it's beautiful super cool conversation piece yeah and that's one of the new mounts we're making - you see that Brian yeah you remember eyes in the mold mounts so we do the ones that go around the piece but this because this is a whole floater the crystal it's not it doesn't have anything but one little tiny point of attachment I didn't want to like bury it into the real like so right and normally I wouldn't know I wouldn't display it on another acrylic block but they did that to just raise it up right but you see that mount in between yes we call that a juicy mount because they're totally polished so it's taken the negative impression of the piece yes and then remove the block of acrylic around it and just leave the impression that's it that's what those are very it really works well on wonderful single crystals and the ings that you want to just have stand out yeah this is crazy just yeah in that a crazy surrender right yeah right yeah little bursts of earth right super fun something different now so you want to see some extra special things yeah oh yeah to see that I'll sit right you have a seat over here I'll get this open a couple of things to this is my fun part this is your fun part I love this and then this is classic now it's a know these she lights are said she liked the a yeah that's that's fabulous that's a gem type quality that is outstanding here bright color no retching on the surfaces top color I would die to have this when I was a youngster no you just did you're lucky to see a crystal of she life that ugly brown yeah you have some horrible Larkin thing you could see under my Korea the Korean ones and they were already Wow oh yeah remember some of my first shows what's right here you go here is one of my favorite minerals because it's an unusual thing it's it's a mineral that you expect to be the matrix to something but here it's the main event is this marcasite arsenopyrite are seen upon yeah you know that's one for an arsenal pyrite that's outstanding it's perfect such a great I can't remember seeing a better one I've never seen for me it's the best of species yeah never saw Arceneaux this is a small small thumbnail specimen that a beautiful thing lovely I love that thank you very much that's gorgeous now you know whether it's this big they really have problems with them and they try to belittle it this thing has no problems this is a killer the collar and everything so to get one that size with that type of quality is succeed ly hard to find a seedling her then with a little bit of black tourmaline with the matrix Charles that's a gorgeous thing yeah I like that they get that rich color like that but the little rock contact on the back yes and you have the albeit and the shawl in the front now is that look at the color Oh call you can't beat it color come up on the camera oh yeah like that get shows very well aquamarine color shows up real well look at this gorgeous like in this fabulous Swiss of course Swiss quartz it's AG Windell yep standing on one end that's right and then with this other guy popping out that's just got such a beautiful color ready for this thing the lustre is unbelievable color yeah hey and with the matrix and white contrasting matrix it's just that's awesome have to see this it has this crazy luster yeah look at that on the one side and then when you light it it's a little tight it yeah there we go this is a fabulous this was from Rhossili it was the one I kept for myself oh okay remember that name killer he had like a fluoride collection oh yeah the fluorite collection from anyways yeah here's another she lie to you like beautiful little thing perched up on the matrix their log of that thing it's all there - it's all complete complete actually has a little little quartz crystals grown all over the back here sure does yeah Jersey courts sad a Nazarite how does a Nazarite that's like look at this thing look at the color I'll see you guys later oh that thing that's what I'm saying about milk pls I mean this is Mexico some believe that were his stuff they really did have killer stuff oh yeah the finest of blue sized glassy luster sheath it's fabulous so that's the best one of these I've seen I haven't you know I've seen that nice small ones and all that but look at that thing that's wonderful fluoride chloride again Illinois and it has that these are all the preferentially etched so all the little buried balls were on the surface the late-stage hydrofluoric or other thermal in intrusions came in and eroded those away but these glassy phases were covered with hydrocarbons also prevents the the fluoride here from being corroded or eaten away but the beright is porous so it runs away so creates these crazy very interest modifications on the surface and here you included underneath the surface it sure is yeah it's below the surface oh it was protected on that side that is fun particularly along of that thing that's a fabulous thing I got it that has the crazy monster and crazy you want a good laugh yeah sure this thing has the same shape it's one-third as large is my glass custom-made art glass piece it's shaped like this yeah it goes this way that way this about a third the size except this is where thousands of times smaller that's a gorgeous thing to men yeah yeah only tsumeb did that unbelievable this is a beautiful fluorite from Jen waling who loved that thing looks like a bad yeah really you look into that see that scenery in there in that wonderful knows that China yeah yeah Shan walling yeah Phan is from Nam it's just amazing the stuff they're getting out of these other countries yeah they really came to the plate fantastic so if you guess the location of this I would say you'd take it so that's risky almost almost if I'm not good at locations that's a girl mmm-hmm that looks like from Russia looks like Russia yeah but it is but it isn't yeah isn't that cool Afghanistan nope yeah well Brazil nope hey we're Elsa get heated or yeah India oh it's an Indian one not impressive never seen anything that size I think I remember something small I remember seeing somewhere either in the museum but small a real small thing from India oh that comes from India I think it was Smithsonian many years ago no that's fantastic extremely unusual to get a thing that size it's got a great luster yeah the color so unusual kind of a slight grayish blue in here a little bit of bluish air and as it goes into Phantom and then it goes in yeah really so the hylia door yeah you can kind of call that hylia door mixed golden barrel hylia door I'm not sure but it's fun for you know it is oh I love that that's the best Hilux I've ever seen it is that what they call they call it a Hilux yeah Hilux it's a something a dislocation fracture whatever and however the whole dislocation fracture and something to do with the way it grows and what's really cool about it is that the you know it's it's going up yeah that's right like a corkscrew you know and then you actually can look down the top and you can see that I left the mud in purposely but it actually follows the right out to the tip even though it's internally yes it's Jemmy but you can understand that it's under that shoe pressure right to the end you got a super cool it's what it is fantastic but there's one in the book I don't know if it's a book I bought but it's a real small of this very nice fabulous thing but these are all big that's yeah that's hell that's the best one of there's never seen anything like that that's hundreds of years old would you believe this look at that you're seeing this and unbelieva it's Garvin it that girls garnets on there yeah and all by that is absolutely phenomenal look at look at how the furniture underneath that live exactly isn't that crazy it go right down into it's unbelievable that's super cool no Wilbur's on it no well versed yeah it's a total floater it grew in the pocket even here even natural right yeah absolutely even the bottom or just yeah it's complete that's all crystalline absolutely complete yeah that's all crystal faces that is phenomenal neck have a luscious don't call some waterfall yeah looks like it's just coming down okay that is Pakistan Oh Pakistan I'm very good boy they came up with the winner because I've seen a lot of aquamarine from Pakistan nothing nothing close to this you kill her the Lord of that thing not nice sense wonderful deep color super color so that's about a twenty five years old and it was in a cutters office see you see the Madagascar is considering cutting it up yeah they kind of considered cutting it but kind of just I will leave it see that I found out about it about six months ago oh and pretty sending someone over there to pick it up a fabulous yeah it's great great geometry all these modifications actually on these edges are all super cool yeah like these there are sharp triangles no Wilbur's on it no gorgeous as much as we like you Dave we don't like Wilbur right exactly this is an unusual piece because of its color okay not just its color but it has a particularly fine color it has this almost really pastel green yeah look at this from her coat oh my I said oh that's part of our site oh yeah I got it they don't doubt ping mine and don't tell her and that awesome that's sake I've never seen it it's that light the rich type of green he does I've seen the greens but they're more dead and subtle yeah see they have a lot of that little bit of brown in them no that's lively that's a fan from China from China fantast dal Peng mine this is good these have started coming out like two years ago uh-huh and you've probably seen a couple of them floating around this is one of the better ones they still don't know what has the include made the inclusion but they're Columbian quartzes with these yellow you know tips they're just they're beautiful no I would say has been checked for iron oxide coating see that its internal okay what about this right here see this there that line that line yeah it's also internal is it yeah yeah it is yeah it does go down it well even if it's internal but kind of it's always like yellow yeah they are they're yellow yeah super cool it could be some element mixed with iron or something like that some solution when they were forming and very unusual I don't look good on black oh yeah that really is good look it looks good on black yeah very different not pretty holy - you like your boroughs like I do I love pearls look at this yellow barrels - Pakistan Pakistan Nagar yeah they're great tea when I was going to pack a stand with her yeah I never saw things like this we know some nice was nothing close to these yeah anything you show me in girls if it's as good as I've seen no I haven't seen everything but though I'll tell you they weren't offered to us I can guarantee you that and I will say because the value of menos and the cost of minerals now it makes it much more worth than for them that worked their ass off to get this rife I'd like the round yeah absolutely not speaking of aquamarine oh you know you're like me I'd love aquamarine it never get terrible looking at look at this gorgeous thing if that isn't disgusting yeah I got to leave now I have to catch a bus you ever busted look at this thing are you ready for this isn't that crazy oh it's fabulous absolutely fabulous that's just crazy oh my god I can't believe how it has the one - yeah crazy color you know all these aquamarine see showed me were much better than anything I've ever owned aquamarine was very hard to get you know why Brazil cut the stones even if there were cabochons yeah they just cut out there they didn't save the stuff that was very hard to hold on to and say this stuff was going up in price we could sell it as a mineral specimen and that great it's fabulous and that coming up that way that's all natural even though some of the screw into it no that's a killer absolutely a killer dad outstanding thing well here I go and start saying what I think this for me is the best of species for a pie right I don't know another example that thank are you ready for this look at these and that crazy that the growth in isolation you probably have this was on the cover of the mr a long time ago this was the famous joe andre royo ended up getting the high right on courts yeah from spruce from washington so it's a uso the state of Washington okay first claim screw spy yeah that remember that name no that is fabulous isn't that great yeah it's a winner isn't that the wildest thing would you believe this yeah those modifications you know everything yeah you're gonna be proud of that you want a pie right on quartz here you go that's the one try to beat it yeah good luck this is what we used to cost big slugs this is fabulous I can't remember seeing one that colored this is that killer color and it's a big one yeah Afghanistan Afghanistan there are stamps look at the color yeah it's nurse tan Afghanistan it's got a craziest color I've ever seen cake that's what I was telling you about these things or solos that show up it's fat look crazy they look good with the light bad with the light when I would go to Pakistan I would die to see one about this big this is the largest one I've seen number one number two the pink is absolutely killer number three the green yeah I'm that good it's over an atrium is that are in campus it's a little thicker most of them are about 16 an inch no that's a killer I would have died to have this one I was trying to get I was trying to get one of these but I was in Pakistan at the wrong time and they weren't coming out there this is from absolute best things and the whole thing's a floater this is all it just must have came off in the pocket that's lodged in that's right there's a lot of natural no that's how fix that don't get rid of that that's a major special thing yeah that was an accident it is an axe I was right I said there's that an accident look at that thing isn't that us oh yeah this thing's fantastic because I've seen a man matrix but this is better it's not the biggest one I've got but it is by far the finest that because see you have small isolation in here you just don't have it just all over the thing and this blade is just totally pristine and has the transparency that's right light lavender color that's right this was in cause nurse collection Oh Richard Costner oh yeah and if you look for rich cos he put that on that's done with nail polish in a pen that's right he painted that then you see that it look like puts his head like I'm gonna drop it just in case he's getting the jitters isn't that cool that's fabulous I was 1995 he put I mean he got a lot of information on there oh he does he's got the Pharaoh ax a night and then he's got the what is it that we've of mine number 32 near near yoga mountain west slope polar your owls and then it's 4:00 at 1995 Vaughn Theresa what for for Theresa Brian and Brett is really something all right here's another one that you are challenged to know what it is but you might get it right away because you're know there's rare stuff I'm forgetting it's not super rare so you know the species you're just not used to seeing it like that yes not calcite it's twinned calcite no they didn't think so it's not spider-man no sorry it's from Bru motto in Brazil ooh it's not spider-man nope so hematite scum from their calcite scum from their and this dolomite scum Oh dolomite is it named dolomite I've ever said never guessed them yeah it's the finest oh my don't never see anything like yeah there's nothing close to it I mean you're lucky to get a any kind of jam Jimmy dolomite this bit yeah and then you'll see clusters with bigger opaque assure the okay this thing that just berries every though that would have never guessed it mmm-hmm and it's twin yeah that's fabulous wasn't it killer holy God that came out some Museum over there where that yeah I just got some old numbers that's been on a recent thing

of a cipher the for the color and the quality that's still for me the best pocket I was it came out Brian ladies mind those and that was the PC kept from this Brian he's fine yeah oh that's fantastic I was his logo piece on okay on his website for years oh I say oh that's fantastic because they're this what's his name Brian the guy we saw today horse yeah a very nice guy and they they found wonderful pieces like this yeah no that's fat for Brian yeah he did he did pick these out one year for the species I mean I don't know I've seen bigger ones and like the one I showed you a little while ago which is fabulous but oh yeah now this is the epitome of diabetes this is the type the large crystals and they're on that thin maze at a Dolomites yeah that's a don't lie it's a dolomite and I had one of these not as good as this but it was good but this one here with these giant crystals I had one kind of like this it was a little bigger specimen but I'd rather have this because of this yeah here no that's a major thing is that tsumeb yeah absolutely yeah that's outstanding this I love that's just so fun oh yeah these are a phantom in there would you believe this thing look at that thing oh it's coming in fine let's score it's just a cool Sparkle all those like little shimmers on the internal yeah it has all that little graining on it so that's what's very chance it's Nepal Nepal yeah old A+ I bought this got almost 20 years ago wow that's a lovely thing that had that on a heartbeat by collection no no that's what Madagascar Jonas oh that's a Jonas okay I mean I've seen very few Jon I've seen big Jonas is but I haven't seen the small ones too much very good gorgeous thing I'm gonna hold this because they're sensitive okay to look at that is a malachite yeah God look at that thing holy Toledo they're all complete look of that thing isn't that crazy it's fabulous now you see these there's always a problem when yet you know it's up yours okay this is a perfect piece it's the first time I've ever seen one that perfect it's a killer that's what I gotta seen can't believe this thing yeah for a Malaga and I love these little guys yeah with the eyes yeah look at that never see anything like it can you kind of turn it around just to sear it around I don't know you've Angela all the way around except for the bottom Oh fabulous no that ever see anything close to that holy this is a wonderful thing speaking of barrels yeah now that's the this type that it's so glassy these are very hard to get you know it's from India India no wonder yeah that glassy like this extremely rare that's super luster on there is unbelievable well that's all Indians coming around yeah they're getting to me that's serious fabulous well I knew it wasn't a certain type from Brazil wasn't that then I thought maybe shot from India that's fantastic very good thank you and then this is one of the most aesthetic court specimens it's one scepter and the other two scepters so they three even if there was like I said it's like yeah that's a killer let's go go go go Bubba said somebody glued it like a glue in here this is what's so neat the shaft goes right up into that okay see the way that is way that goes up in there and then it has all the little sparkles and the I think it's a hematite needles or yeah it could be calculate or something one of some yeah little specks of something oh that is wild that's a killer snake and they didn't repair it you know it is repaired actually how it is repairs report they did a good job yeah they did that beautiful the other day yeah Peruvian that's beautiful pulled that one pocket that had produced like five or six pieces that's right this is real rare pink color that's right with the green centers did I yell and has pyrites that's the giveaway that it's Peruvian yes and they are tough to get rare than hen's teeth doesn't company brighter than that you can't happen now you can have it thank you I'll take it home look at that thing and that a gorgeous thing ocular first swiss see you bright on the main central crystal it's got it all killer well I love that mm-hmm lovely thing uh lark of that what a gorgeous thing just nice the juxtaposition of the crystals in the nebula rutile and imitative dicing through typical Swiss not Swiss person wears her from Brazil her motto never seeing it with a hematite like that how interesting boy they rival the Swiss tight oh yeah yeah it's fabulous producer that's great yeah I'm glad you mentioned that I've never seen this type from Brazil finished I'm done very good
