"Very Rare" specimen Fluorite from the Okarusu. Crystals are aesthetic and large (up to 3 cm on edge), which have grown on an under layer of purple fluorite. Most Okarusu fluorite is purple, green and bluish green and few specimens of yellow, but the color of this specimen is unique and rare. It is light creamy-yellow, especially in natural light and
has an unusually distinctive slivery-grayish tone in artifical light (see last photo below).
Beautiful intergrown compound Elbaite crystals with fine terminations. Color transitions from light to darker green to very dark green to golden yellow at the terminations.
It helps those who are Earth conscious to continue on a path of helping our Mother Earth. It is a stone that many psychics use for it helps to open the third eye and brings revelations closer. It brings inner peace and is good for meditations as well.
Wavellite is a phosphate mineral, normally translucent green. It is found in fractures in aluminous metamorphic rock, in hydrothermal regions and in phosphate rock deposits. Named after William Wavell (?-1829) of England who discovered the mineral (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Apple green crystals of Wavellite forming a globular or botryoidal masse.
Numerous vitreous white blades of Barite richly cover this specimen with minor Quartz and Calcite. The name barite is derived from the Greek word βαρύς (heavy).
Nice plate of grey-silver Galena cubes with Sphalerite and minor Quartz.
Three major regions define the Bulgarian landscape. The northernmost is the Danubian Plain, a fertile area occupying one-third of the country. Immediately south lie the Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina). In the southwest and south lie the Rhodope Mountains, with the country's highest point, Musala Peak, rising 9,596 ft (2,925 m).
Durango is one of the constituent states of Mexico. Its population in 2005 census was about 1,509,117 people. It has Mexico's second-newest population density (after Baja California ). The city of Durango is the capital of the state of Durango. The Sierra Madre Occidental is a mountain range located in the western part of the state. This mountain range contains a good supply of minerals, including the silver that encouraged Spanish occupation of the territory after it was discovered. These mines extend north into Chihuahua and south into the state of Zacatecas

Greenish-yellow Adamite crystals covered with numerous glassy Calcite crystals. Showy cobination. Adamite was named after the French mineralogist Gilbert Joseph Adam (1795-1881).
Arkansas is the first state in the U.S. where diamonds were found naturally (near Murfreesboro, Arkansas).
The eastern border of most of Arkansas is the Mississippi River, except in Clay and Greene counties where the St. Francis River forms the western boundary of the Missouri Bootheel. Arkansas shares its southern border with Louisiana, its northern border with Missouri, its eastern border with Tennessee and Mississippi, and its western border with Texas and Oklahoma (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Barite (BaSO4) is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate. It is generally white or colorless, and is the main source of barium. Baryte is the British spelling, and the mineral is also called heavy spar (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Siderite is a mineral composed of iron carbonate FeCO3. It takes its name from the Greek word sideros, “iron”. It is a valuable iron mineral, since it is 48% iron and contains no sulfur or phosphorus. Both magnesium and manganese commonly substitute for the iron.
Its crystals belong to the hexagonal system, and are rhombohedral in shape, typically with curved and striated faces. It also occurs in masses. Color ranges from yellow to dark brown or black, the latter being due to the presence of manganese (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Founded in 1886 during the Colorado Silver Boom, Gilman later became a center of lead and zinc mining in Colorado, centered around the now-flooded Eagle Mine.

The Orange River (Afrikaans/Dutch: Oranjerivier), in the past also sometimes known as the Gariep or as the Grootrivier, is the major river of South Africa. The river was first discovered by indigenous people but only explored by Europeans in 1760 and named by Colonel Robert Gordon after the House of Orange. Another account of its naming suggests that it may have been called after the supposedly orangy colour of its water, as opposed to the colour of the water of the Vaal River ( 'vaal' being Afrikaans for pale or grey) (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

A stalactite (Greek stalaktites, (Σταλακτίτης), from the word for "drip" and meaning "that which drips") is a type of speleothem(secondary mineral) that hangs from the ceiling or wall of limestone caves. It is sometimes referred to as dripstone (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Prehnite was first discovered in South Africa by Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn, an early Dutch governor of the Cape of Good Hope colony. Prehnite was the first mineral to be named after a person.

Realgar, α-As4S4, is an arsenic sulfide mineral. It is a soft, sectile mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, or in granular, compact, or powdery form, often in association with the related mineral, orpiment (As2S3). Its name comes from Arabic rahj al-ghār – 'powder of the mine (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
