Bidspirit auction | A Large Collection of Mineral
A Large Collection of Mineral Specimens, Polished Spheres, and Orgonite Composite Objects, in Two Crates - This lot comprises a large and diverse collection of natural history specimens, polished semi-precious stones, and decorative resin objects, presented in two green plastic crates. The collection features a wide variety of minerals in both rough and worked forms. Included among the specimens are several amethyst druse clusters of varying violet shades, a large rough green and yellow calcite or fluorite cluster, and multiple pieces of polished labradorite displaying characteristic blue and gold labradorescence. The polished spheres feature a large blue and white sodalite sphere with orange-brown inclusions, a large clear quartz sphere, a green fluorite sphere, and smaller spheres of lapis lazuli, red jasper, and tiger's eye. Other worked stones include lapis lazuli points and polished slabs, a slice of banded malachite, and a polished pyrite cube. Decorative items include a green hippopotamus figurine with black banding, carved in the manner of malachite, and a small blue stone star. A large clear plastic bag contains a quantity of loose tumbled stones, including rose quartz, amethyst, and carnelian, alongside beaded tiger's eye bracelets and a small circular container of mixed stone and glass beads. The collection is completed by two substantial resin composite orgonite pieces. These consist of a large four-sided pyramid in translucent orange-brown resin, densely filled with copper-coloured metallic shavings, and a large cylindrical block of grey-clear resin containing gold and silver-toned metallic shavings and embedded copper wire coils.
