The pieces in this category are minerals which are beyond rare either in size or material (or both). While they are available for sale, many are irreplaceable so we have them in our private collection. Some of these specimens are from old collections (mines which have long been closed), the private collections of miners or pieces that we have squirreled away because we love them. Occasionally someone will come in and describe one of our personal pieces and we will have to take it out of our personal collection and sell it to them. Sometimes we are asked if we have a hard time parting with our special stones but we feel that we are simply guardians of these amazing works of art form the earth and when someone has an appreciation for them, they are meant to be shared.
