Elbaite/Achroite Tourmaline bicolor; Neelum valley, Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir

Hey all, have a relationship with a dealer who showed me these. Am hopefully selling for a small finders fee.

Dm if interested, I think the price is super fair on these, colorless tourmaline is quite hard to find.

New England collection release

Hi all. I’m a New England USA based, long time minerals collector.

As time goes on and my tastes continue to change, I constantly am putting away pieces from my “first collection.”

I am looking to move much of this collection at wholesale and in parcels. I am not interested in selling individual pieces at wholesale price, but I would deeply discount certain lots, or even deeper for the whole collection.

I would be able to ship, but would prefer a local transaction as some of the pieces are larger and would be costly

Overview of items:

Quartz in various habits, various localities

(2 pseudocubes, 1 almost foot long Jacaré quartz, an enhydro window quartz, random Arkansas examples, random Pakistan examples incl a blue foitite included quartz)

Aquamarine 2x (one pencil crystal insitu on feldspar with garnets from Brazil, one smaller etched aquamarine floater unknown locale)

Elbaite

4x total small pieces ~10grams (from agua branca, an old find in Kunar Afghanistan with vivid purple, one Laghman paraiba-like color, 1x 30 degree bent tourmaline from Pederneira (a bit larger than 10g on this one))

elbaite and quartz specimens

3x total (1 XL quartz with many tourmalines various qualities in blue and green colors up to 9cm, 1 large smoky quartz with baryte and 2x gemmy green crystals perched on edges of quartz, 1 medium sized quartz with 2 gem tourmalines insitu (flat but exposed on surface)

Zeolites

A few random examples of apophyllite, stilbite and Stellerite

Fluorite

One spinel twin from erongo with willemite, one IL example, one Okorusu example, might be forgetting one

Also have some random amethysts, calcites, celestite, and some more funky and unique pieces.

There is probably a lot that I am missing, but if this sounds up your alley please shoot me a message and hopefully we can work something out.

Elbaite tourmaline with phantoms

Hot pink pocket, Agua Branca, Brazil

Fell in love with this piece a few years ago. Rare for any find to see this clarity paired with such well defined “phantoms.” In my collection
