As requested, here is a closer look at most of the raw minerals in my collection. I do have a few others, they did not want to photograph well. I got quite a lot of these at a local gem and mineral show recently. I few pieces came from wholesalers, and a couple came from local shops. There isn’t much else to say about them, but I am happy to answer questions, if I can.
