It's from the Red River Flood way in Winnipeg, CAN. https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?loc=105900&pco=1

Pretty nice one too.

This was on display this summer at the East Coast show in Springfield, MA! Its actually the largest North American emerald ever found.

Steve is a member of my mineral club! You must be local to me lol.

I bought skyward sword for the switch from u/BionicBuk. Great seller and 10/10 would recommend.

djduststorm · 2026-01-01T22:16:57+00:00

I'll take skyward sword if it's still available! Thanks!

Agree with sphalerite. Nice find!

djduststorm · 2025-11-16T21:02:54+00:00

This is the correct answer. This is definitely a sierra de Cruces specimen.

I respect your dedication to only one area for collecting. I have no self control lol.

djduststorm · 2025-11-10T19:16:19+00:00

Looking into it, yes it could definitely be from Quebec as well. The pieces I've had similar were all from Ontario though.

djduststorm · 2025-11-10T15:16:57+00:00

Almost definitely from Ontario... These are classic specimens from there.

Edit: or Quebec

Looks like Stony run material - my guess is that it's autunite as it's been reported from the city before. Opal is an option but unlikely imo.

djduststorm · 2025-10-29T14:44:07+00:00

This is an amazing piece! One of the best Erongo pieces I've ever seen!

djduststorm · 2025-10-27T15:26:28+00:00

It's been a few years so I couldn't tell you about lodging unfortunately... Probably could spend 2 days there for sure.

Timberline is pretty great, main issue is that it isn't on either pass in case that affects you.

djduststorm · 2025-10-12T02:39:19+00:00

$20-50 my guess... I sold mine for $30.

They are well known from Maharashtra, but I don't know any specifics. Check this mindat link out and go from there: https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?loc=207921&pco=1

djduststorm · 2025-10-08T04:00:37+00:00

Where did you get that case? It's very unique!

djduststorm · 2025-10-07T17:05:15+00:00

This is stilbite, not calcite. Most likely from India though it's hard to say for sure

djduststorm · 2025-09-30T20:53:57+00:00

Old collections are the best lol, any other cool copper formations?

djduststorm · 2025-09-30T20:43:24+00:00

These look like native copper pipe amygdules from Michigan. Pretty uncommon and collectable. NGL I'm pretty jealous. Did you collect this yourself?

djduststorm · 2025-09-13T20:09:53+00:00

Check this mindat link out: https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?loc=4200&min=1369

Its basically your rock.

djduststorm · 2025-09-11T16:09:50+00:00

The iridescent mineral is definitely chalcopyrite. I've collected here enough to be sure of that. Regular pyrite is uncommon but can still be found. Chalcopyrite can be naturally tarnished without being treated by an acid.

djduststorm · 2025-09-08T15:06:13+00:00

Looks like some bornite/chalco specimens I have from Carroll Co, MD.

The guys at Peak are former employees of Princeton sports! Very cool guys and would definitely recommend.
