A friend of mine who sells Viburnum Trend Minerals, sent me a text the first week of October, while I was still in Geode Fest Recovery mode…to let me know he had a couple of new collections for sale…one was a huge assortment of calcites, plates of chalcopyrite, and galena clusters, small and large, that covered four tables. The second collection consisted of thin bars of galena, what he called Spineless Spinels…yeah…say that ten times in a row without any mistakes…I triple dog dare ya…that means you have to do it, no questions asked…I can`t do it, so you have to. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I had a few friends interested once I put the word out, so I drove down to photograph what he had and sent these photos out…he had a few inquiries and sold about three of the Spineless Spinels…and I had a few folks interested, but after a few weeks no one had made any major purchases, so he started selling a few here and there, and yes, after about six weeks, I purchased a few myself. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Here is the first collection spread out over four tables, beginning with the first table, covered by a red tablecloth….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…and this is the fourth table, also white in color, sits across the aisle from the first table, red tablecloth….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and these large pieces in the floor are part of this collection….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…as well as this huge piece that measures about 18 to 24 inches long and includes phantom crystals with chalcopyrites…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
