Minerals & Micromounts

Dear fellow collectors, as every year, I'm putting away my cameras, keyboard, and mouse for a well-deserved rest ! I'll be on vacation from Wednesday evening, December 17th, until Sunday, December 28th. The last shipment will therefore be sent on the afternoon of the 17th, which means that any orders placed after noon on the 17th will be shipped upon my return from vacation :)

I will prepare some pieces in advance in order to post some new things on Monday the 22nd at 9pm.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas <3 <3 <3 Elise

I recently acquired a batch of this rare mineral, so it should be available here soon.

Like all new products, it deserves a little debriefing :)

Formula: Pb3CaAl(Si5O14)(OH)3 - 3H2O

Crystal System: Trigonal

Name: Named for the Shijiangshan mine, China, the type locality.

Type locality: Shijiangshan mine (Dashishan mine), Hexigten Banner (Keshiketeng Co.), Chifeng City (Ulanhad League; Chifeng Prefecture), Inner Mongolia, China

This mineral was approved by the IMA in 2022 and since then, few samples have been on sale.

All we can do now is wait :)

See you soon! Elise
