Aquamarine
Pakistan

Many of the most spectacular crystals are viewed in the "backrooms". Offices, labs, side rooms, and even bathrooms. So please, do excuse the background.

Aquamarine is one of the most popular crystals. Everyone's heard of it. Many have seen it. Some understand it. And very few experience it.

Holding a natural glowing blue six sided hexagonal prism is a mind bending acquaintance with nature.

Emerald
Colombia

Difficult to capture, but this emerald has the deepest and truest blue green tone. The most sought-after color.
A collector could sift through thousands of emeralds and not find this tone.

In high end mineral collecting it's the slight nuances that matter.

"Three Amigos"
2019 - Magnificent Emeralds: Fura's Tears
New York city

In 2019 I had the special privilege of hosting a world renowned emerald exhibition in New York City.  Assembling the emeralds felt as if I was assembling mystical artifacts of the world. The dragon balls, the Aztec crystal skulls, or the rings of power. After about 6 months of hunting down the specimens, I estimated about 80% of the known top caliber emeralds were in one room. I recognized this was a once in a lifetime experience. No museum nor private gallery had the contacts or qualifications to pull this off. I half expected an alien heist to take place. 

Truly the credit is spread to the mineral community. The willingness and trust to loan the emeralds, the security team, and the overwhelming support of dealers, museums, collectors, and most importantly, mineral enthusiasts. We did this together. I am grateful.

The Three Amigos
The top 35+ emeralds were all together.
The top 10 were selected to be placed in the dark room.
Among them, 5 truly stood out as the very best.

I worked 6 months everyday talking to and observing gallery visitors. The Three Amigos captivated and mesmerized the human mind unlike any other piece. The power of quality. This green gem has literal stopping power.

From connoisseur to layman, for many, this was the #1 emerald in the exhibition.

Architecture is not of human origin, but an emulation of divine craftsmanship. Where there is design, there is designer.

The hermetic principle of correspondence states “as above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul”

Natural patterns scale vast and microscopic. A fractal nature. Pay attention to the rhythm.

Pink ice. Melted and frozen at the same time. Unsure of what it wants to be. Unsure of what it is.

Do you ever relate to your crystals?

Quartz w/ petroleum inclusion
China

As a kid, solid, liquid, and gas inclusions absolutely blew my mind. Today I am no different. Inside this geometric wonder of a quartz crystal is gold colored petroleum.

There are several categories and sub categories to my collection.
This one is definitely under "too perfect to be real"

What sub categories do you have in your collection? taken in Tuxedo Park, New York by @trizzy_slice

Tourmaline
Democratic Republic of the Congo

Personal collection, nfs

A rainbow trapped inside a crystal.
A magic battery.
Whatever it is, it's special.

Not painted by Monet, Rothko, or Picasso.
Not designed by Gaudi, Hadid, or Ghery.
Although, I love art, design, and architecture from many of the great minds, there's something uniquely special about crystals. 

Found objects. Discovered items. A relic of Earth.
The colors, shapes, textures, and chemistry are intrinsically tied to our humanity.

And if for you, they are "just rocks", well, that's ok too.

Last weekend, Green Mountain Minerals welcomed collectors, dealers, and mineral enthusiasts to Beacon, New York, for the inaugural Beacon Showcase.

“The Beacon Weekend” was hosted at our gallery on Main Street, the event brought together members of the @manhattan_mineral_club_ through the support of Troy Wilensky, alongside exceptional specimens from the personal collection of Scott Rudolph and world-class selections from Fine Minerals International  @fine.minerals.international and Wilensky Minerals @wilenskyminerals 

Guests enjoyed a presentation by Daniel Trinchillo on the revival of California’s legendary Eagle’s Nest Mine, as well as a collector reception graciously hosted by Robert Wiener. 

Special thanks also to Jeff and his team at @kitchensinkny for providing an outstanding culinary experience throughout the event.

Created to celebrate the beauty, history, and significance of fine mineral specimens while fostering connections across the mineral community, the Beacon Showcase exceeded our hopes. We are grateful to everyone who contributed their expertise, collections, and enthusiasm, and we look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces to future editions of the Beacon Showcase.
