Chinese Mineral Specimens

Chinese specimens are one of our specialties here at Geologic Desires. I have been involved with buying and selling these exceptional specimens from when the first cinnabars made their appearance on the market back in the 1990's. Very few dealers have this depth of experience with Chinese minerals and their marketers. There are tens of dealers whom we work with that carry strictly a Chinese specimen inventory. The selection of quality specimens and diversity of minerals and mineral combinations is never a problem with this many suppliers. You can read my comments on collecting Chinese minerals in the following narrative...Why Collect Chinese Minerals?
In our current market Chinese minerals may present the best value for the mineral collector's dollar. Because of the overwhelming number of specimens available, and collector's lack of familiarity with locations, we will organize this section by species:
Acanthite
Amethyst
Apophyllite
Aquamarine
Arsenopyrite
Aragonite
Pyromorphite
Quartz
Rhodochrosite
