I have just acquired an enormous new mineral collection containing thousands of specimens, mostly of high caliber, and many world class pieces. It is now at my rock shop in Denton, NC and anyone wanting to come down and have first pick should do so soon. I will be bringing a lot of it to Grassy Creek this year, but a lot of the top pieces will no doubt be gone by then. There is stuff from ALL over the world, and a very large representation of US minerals. There are over 400 calcites alone, m any of them unique and superb. It contains an old European collection from the early 1900's with hundreds of rare pieces from all over Europe, many classic old localities closed for a century(with the old faded labels to boot). Every mineral class is well represented, included many rare species. I will slowly be adding some of these to my website at <theadamscollection.com>, but this will take awhile. Contact me if interested in viewing this amazing collection. Prices will be very reasonable, because I don't have room for it all! Laurie Adams. laurieadams@windstream.net

Dozens of Virginia pieces, mostly northern. A number of Maryland pieces also. I'm looking at a "sugar cube" clear fluorapophyllite on superb prehnite right now.
