I answered an ad for a mineral collection for sale near Carbondale, Illinois, which resulted in a trip to Illinois to check it out on November 3rd…just a few days before my Fall Trip to Arkansas. I had talked to Jason a few times on the phone and he was in the process of selling some of his huge collection, but invited me over to see some of what he had for sale, so I did. Needless to say, he was re-arranging much of it and only had maybe half of what he wanted to sell, on display, but I was not disappointed in what I saw. Gorgeous stuff for sure. We talked for a bit and I told him what I had in my collection and he decided he wanted to make a trip down to see my collection as well. While there, I purchased half a dozen beautiful selenite specimens from the country of Australia…they looked like flowers, they were so beautiful !!  See for yourself….

VERY delicate stuff, let me tell ya. can`t wrap this stuff enough !!
