🌌✨ Part 2 of our adventure collecting at Rowley Mine, AZ: going underground to explore Job’s Stope, a kickass area of Rowley! This section had tons of beautiful wulfenite, mimetite, chrysocolla, and more…and, oh yeah, walls of gorgeous UV reactive and phosphorescent rocks! Many thanks to Ed and the Rowley crew for taking us underground and showing us around!! #rowleymine #rockhounding #jobstope #uvminerals #blacklight #rocksandminerals #wulfenite #mimetite #chrysocolla #orangeandblue #arizona #tucson #underground #phenomenalgems

😍 New mural at Mineral City! This year’s mural is composed of multiple tiles to build the image of this legendary blue cap tourmaline cluster. What a neat addition to the mural wall, and you know you’re officially at the shows when you see it! #mineralcity #rocksandminerals #crystals #bluecap #tourmaline #tucsongemshows #tucson #visittucson #weouthere #phenomenalgems

🌵 Tucson Natural Sights ⛰️…

If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor and make the trip to the Tucson gem showcase! Tucson is one of the most beautiful places, with mountains, saguaro cacti, petroglyphs, and desert life. It’s also home to the largest gem show in the world, and it’s about to begin.

Come visit us at the Miners Co-op show—we will be set up with a collection of natural beauties of our own, from Jan. 31-Feb 16 at Sports Park Tucson. It’s right near Saguaro National Park West and the petroglyphs shown here, so it’s a perfect place to sneak a side quest in to your gem show visit! 🌵

💕🧊 #Throwbackthursday: this unbelievable cluster has such a fresh, bright color palette! Rhodochrosite, Fluorite, & Quartz plate from Sweet Home Mine—spotted in 2018, at Leadville’s neatest rock shop, the Rock Hut. I haven’t been back for a bit so I don’t know if the cluster is still there, but it lives in my memory no matter where it resides today. 💕🧊 #tbt #nfs #memoriesssss #rhodochrosite #fluorite #crystals #rocks #minerals #sweethome #phenomenalgems

🐬 Blue isn’t the most common color in minerals, and especially this shade of turquoise blue stands out. Blue Ajoite included Quartz with native copper, black tenorite, and colorless needles (could be colorless Ajoite). This crystal is from Messina Mine, late 1980s-early 1990s production. The cluster of needles in 3-5 colors is classic for Messina, and most crystals (like this one) had a thick crust that required polishing the faces. A fantastic collector’s piece that’s available! Dm for details.

🛸👽 Today’s #macromonday shot was taken at the Munich Gem Shows, where I took a closer look at this kickass Seymchan Nickel-Iron Meteorite sphere!

The macro shows a unique structure that can only form in meteoritic metal: Widmanstätten patterns, aka Thomson figures. This structure forms due to 2 alloys within the nickel-iron material, kamacite and taenite—as the meteor (often an asteroid fragment) is flying through space, it cools slowly, and the 2 alloys differentiate and form distinct crystals.

When the meteor impacts with earth (becoming a meteorite), it is cut and treated with acid. The acid etches the meteorite and reveals its interior lattice structure, and these fine patterns of crystallization we call Widmanstätten patterns. A super cool formation that teaches us more about meteorites and the universe around us!
