Galena with Pyrite
Front Side	TF76F6: A classic species, with the classic cuboctahedral form and from a classic locality. It started as a cube and then later on cuboctahedral forms grew on it, orientated to the cube. All of which makes the specimen especially attractive. Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri  USA Specimen size: 5.5 × 4.5 × 3.5 cm

	Galena on Pyrite
MF47E7: From a locality that used to be very productive (although it is no longer so) this one stands out from all the others found there for various reasons: the form of the crystal (slightly oblong and with small octahedral modification on the corners), all the faces are undamaged, the brilliance of the faces, and, above all, its great position on the matrix of botryoidal Pyrite. So while many Galenas have been found in the Tri-State district this one is special. Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri  USA Specimen size: 4.2 × 4.2 × 2.7 cm Main crystal size: 3 × 2.3 cm	Front Side

Rhodochrosite

Orpiment

This was the main novelty from Tucson 2000. These were found in April 99 at the Twin Creeks mine, north of Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada. Many specimens were found, but the majority of them were pale orange or yellow. The Orpiment was found in the 62 bench of the mine and the geologists seeing them decided to preserve them so they were removed manually with great care.
Orpiment is a stable mineral that does not alter over time, however like many other minerals it is sensitive to sun light so it is best to display specimens in darker areas of your display.

	Orpiment
JT46F9: ¡Superb! Exceptional brightness and color make this a superb specimen enhanced by remarkable crystal size and sharpness. All of these features combine to put the piece among the best from this well-known mine. The sample, absolutely unaltered even considering the passing of years, is from an accredited collection. We’ll send the collection label with the specimen. Twin Creeks Mine, cut 62, Humboldt County, Nevada  USA (04/1999) Specimen size: 6.3 × 6 × 3.3 cm Main crystal size: 2.2 × 1.5 cm
