New Street Finds/Old finds revisited

[carnelianpete]

I have not been out to much this year but here are some of my latest finds from New Street The first is a good size (10”) stilbite group . Not real pretty but big enough not to throw away. The next is a small stilbite cluster. Again not real pretty but no damage and it sits well. The next is a apophyllite specimen with small clusters of apophyllite xls covering the entire side of the piece (8”)





This next set of pics are of some previous finds but taken under different lighting and a better camera (meaning the operator is starting to know what he is doing) as well as being properly displayed in a lighted case.

And last but not least a nice tourmaline xl group. Got to love tourmaline. Not a big specimen 1 ½” but still nice.



Thanx for looking and enjoy. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a Happy New Year.

Great collection. I have a few New Street specimens from decommission collections. Although I enjoy more the specimens I found my self.

Great looking cabinet, Pete! Those new street finds are not bad at all! Thanks for posting!

The cabinets were FREE!!!!!!! I got them when my wifes uncle passed a few months back. They are the end pieces from a big hutch that he had. Couldn't take the whole thing just to big. And as for the specimens in the cabinet most are found by me but as with all collections there are a few trades and a few purchased items. I prefer found specimens obviously but something tells me that I am not going to get to India anytime soon to collect any of the great zeolites that come from there or afgan tourmalines for that matter.
