Location: Flambeau Mine, Ladysmith, Rusk Co., Wisconsin, USA cm
Size: 4.1 x 3.1 x 2.4 cmComments Description:The Flambeau Mine produced some of the best Chalcocites in history, and I love them for their iridescence and beautiful coloration. This piece is a complex cluster of highly iridescent-blue Chalcocites, many reaching 1 cm across. This fine miniature is a classic from the brief mining here in the mid-1990s, and we do not see many good ones turn up on the market anymore now that the mine has been closed 20 years. The site is now reclaimed and totally dead for any future collecting, but for a few brief years it really excited the mineral collecting world.
Location: Franklin Mine, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey
Size: 5 cm by 5.3 cm by 4.2 sizeItem: Item #A12
Comments: Large, deep red crystal of Rhodonite with Franklinite and white Calcite matrix!
This large terminated crystal is full of gem material and displays a perfect termination at top.
The entire specimen lights up under UV and rarely do I come across such large Rhodonite
crystals of this quality. This is from an European collection which has been off the market
for years and I’ve very pleased to have such an impressive classic specimen on the website.
Specializing in live auctions of top quality mineral specimens. As a full-time professional mineral dealer I travel the world searching for the best specimens; there is almost always something new.brought to you by Dan & Diana Weinrich

We are Karin and Wolli. Both of us have been collecting minerals since we are small children. So we also met on a mineral show, felt in love undergrounds in the old mines of the Lavrion district and married 1 year later-this was in 1997. Short time later we bought a big old farmers house to have plenty of space for our minerals. Our career as mineral dealers started in 1986. Our specialities are minerals from the Black Forest , the Lavrion district in Greece and at least worldwide old timed specimen and esthetic minerals.We?ve written several articles about the minerals of Lavrion and the Black Forest. So we are the onliest autors who have written two complete Lapis double issues. Also we are owners of one of the world?s best Lavrion collections. Several pecimen are self collected underground and also boght directly from the localpeople-that?s the secret of our good prices. So please test us, our seriousity and authenticity-you will be surprised.

With 100% customer satisfaction and a customer list in the thousands we can meet the needs of any client. Our goals are to bring to you, our customer, outstanding specimens while generating a fair return for our consignors.
Since its inception in 1998, the Natural History department has conducted a series of seven auctions, firmly establishing the company as the forerunner in the field internationally.With consignments culled from private collections, paleontologists, fossil preparators, quarry and mine owners, the auctions are successful in providing specimens which are fresh to the market.
A wide range of categories are offered including: unmounted faceted and cabochon gemstones; cat’s eye and other rare phenomenal gemstones; mineral specimens; amber, pearls, seashells, meteorites, archeological artifacts, petrified wood, ammonites, plant and animal fossils and dinosauria. Prices range from $500 to $200,000 with items of interest to both seasoned and novice collectors, enthusiasts and interior decorators.
With each category drawing significant numbers of new consignors and buyers, and achieving strong prices through international, competitive bidding, Bonhams & Butterfields is now a recognized leader in the sales of Natural History of all sorts.
Our auctions are fully illustrated online and through our catalogues and are viewable in person at our Los Angeles galleries.
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my website. Between selling a house, work, and taking a trip out to the Denver show I didn’t have much spare time. Anyway, an update has been posted, including minerals from new finds: epidote and prehnite from Mali, spessartines from Brazil and China, mordenite and cavansite from India, orpiment from Russia, and tourmaline from Brazil.Also, the mineral auction site I’m involved with is hosting the annual Rocks and Minerals magazine color fund benefit auction.
Regular auctions there will begin October 1st. We plan on having two per week from then on, ending on Monday and Thursday evenings at 8 PM Central Time. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Happy New Year! I am finally back from all of my holiday visits. Since I survived relatives, assembling my sons’ presents, and holiday traffic, I thought I would celebrate with a 15% off sale! Everything, in all galleries, is reduced until January 21.
Also, I know many people in the countries that were hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Thailand and Sri Lanka are sources for many gemstones and minerals. 10% of all sales in January, including auctions and eBay, will be donated to reconstruction efforts in those countries
We participate in the auctions at John Veevaert’s website mineral-auctions.com Auctions are held twice a week. Check out the site for some bargains!
I am going to stop at 64 this week on this week’s auction. It includes a very nice selection with 16 fine Chinese specimens.I have also posted another page of pink octahedral fluorites from Mexico
