Potential Material Included in Your Lot:
Our premium batches are sourced from mineral-rich regions, frequently featuring stunning geological treasures found throughout Northern Nevada and the Great Basin, including:
- Northern Nevada Wonderstone: Famous for its spectacular, swirling bands of cream, pink, maroon, and gold, created by volcanic ash falls. It polishes beautifully and makes striking display pieces.
- Vibrant Jaspers & Cherts: Hard, fine-grained silica blocks in deep reds, earthy browns, and desert yellows, offering high durability for excellent tumbling and sharp cabochons.
- Agates & Chalcedony: From translucent desert agates to botryoidal formations, these pieces feature beautiful light transmission and hidden banding.
- Quartz Crystals & Druzy: Sparkling clear, milky, or smoky quartz specimens, ranging from structural crystal points to rough matrix pieces covered in shimmering druzy.
- Petrified Wood: Ancient, highly mineralized wood specimens showing distinct ring patterns and brilliant cell-replacement colors.
- Polymictic Conglomerate: a type of sedimentary rock made of mixed rounded pebbles and stones held together by a finer matrix. Can contain jasper, quartz and many other minerals.
Item Specifications:
- Condition: Completely raw, unpolished, and untreated natural rough.
- Size: Mixed sizes ranging from small tumbling pebbles to larger hand-held display/cabbing specimens (see photos with scale/ruler for exact sizing).
- Photos: Pictures are taken both dry (to show true structural form) and wet (to simulate how the colors and patterns will pop once polished or clear-coated).
Perfect For:
- Rock Tumbling: High-density silica stones that take a mirror-like shine in a rotary or vibratory tumbler.
- Lapidary & Cabbing: Sturdy, solid chunks with minimal fracturing, ready to be slabbed, trimmed, and shaped into cabochons for jewelry making.
- Metaphysical & Reiki: Raw, unaltered earth energy for meditation spaces, crystal grids, or home decor.
- Educational Collections: A fantastic, tangible way for kids, students, and budding geologists to study authentic regional mineralogy.
Note: As this is natural rock material, pieces will vary organically in shape, size, color, and texture. We take great care to ensure a fantastic, balanced mix in every order!
