Cab Close-Ups

I've no idea if anyone reads or cares about my little blog. Ah well. I'll keep myself amused, then.

Here's the first close-up of my million-dollar mineral haul from my big trip to Tucson, where I dumped six months of savings in a day-and-a-half.  Click to embiggen:

The top row starts with a blue opal from Australia.  The middle two rocks are both types of quartz, then at the right end is a blue-green fluorite gem. 

Bottom row is all fossils, including a dinosaur bone on the right.  Cool, no?

Next up are the sets (click to embiggen):

I'm missing a row that showed some beautiful picture jaspers from Oregon, Montana and India.  I'll have to dig those up (well, not literally) and post them. If you're interested in one-of-a-kind jewelry, those are the stones you need to see.

And, yes, once again I've forgotten to put a quarter or penny in the photo for scale. Ugh.

Last picture for today:

These are just a few gemstones to add to larger pieces for a splash of color.  

Think combos:

1. Gray dinosaur fossil with aquamarine (pendant)
2. Blue opal and sapphires (pendant)
3. Pink rhodocroisite with white pearls (earrings)
4. Black & clear quartz with red dinosaur bone (pendant)
5. Red & black agates with garnets and black pearls (earrings)

More to come.
