Our shop's in Windsor, California, USA, selling lapidary preformed slabs and chunks, and ancient Greek and Roman coins. I have hundreds of unfinished slabs that I will be loading online when I can finish shaping them (what I call preformed). If you have a need and can't find it online, let us know, we'll get it online sooner if we have it.
For a short time the MISC section is loaded with close out items that have a 50% discount.
My preformed rough slabs are small to medium size. I remove all open fractures and unsightly pits. I will note anything unusual in a slab (druzy, small pits, natural sealed fractures, etc.). I smooth out all sides with 180 diamond grit. The slabs are unpolished and ready for you to finish or use asis. My chunks are sold with no guarantee on what is inside of them. If you have any questions send me a note
Scorpion Silica Crystal Cabochon
Origin: Scorpion Silica Crystal Mine, Grass Valley, Ca.
Colors: White
Material: White druzy quartz on Chalcedony
Characteristics: Natural, white botryoidal druzy on Chalcedony. Lots of beautiful sparkle with 100's of small crystal points. All the little white dots in my pictures are the crystal points shining back. Except for an air pocket pit on the back it is flat and smooth from my sanding. This will make a beautiful pendant or specimen.
This material was found in 2015 and it's already scarce and very hard to find on the internet. Rock & Gem magazine Dec 2015 had an excellent writeup on this rare material. This material comes clear or in color. If there is serpentine found under the clear quartz that color is transferred to the quartz.
I have some yellow colored material that I will cut and put online when I find the time to do it. If your interested let me know. See my last picture. The botryoidal druzy is not as prominent as this white crystal but the crystal is very unique and beautiful.
