10.5 x 7.2 x 6.5 cm. This batch of gorgeous halite specimens was mined last year in California, and they are REALLY distinctive. Look at the amazingly fine hoppered structure of the crystals and beautiful bright pink color! But more than that, they have this unique new matrix covered with minute nahcolite.
9.1 x 7.4 x 3.8 cm. Okay, halite is salt, but for one thing, it is just as legitimate a mineral as any other, even if you CAN eat it (not this though - it contains bacteria so don’t lick it!). This batch of gorgeous halite specimens was mined last year in California, and they are REALLY distinctive. Look at the amazingly fine structure of the crystals and beautiful bright pink color! But more than that, they have this wonderful contrast with a uniquely new matrix covered with minute nahcolite.

8.5 x 6.1 x 5.9 cm. This specimen is from a find of pretty pink halite in these wonderful sharp skeletal crystals - on a matrix of nahcolite.
An exceptional large cabinet specimen with crystals to 2 cm! Old material not readily obtainable, even in local collections...In fact, I can honestly say that I haven't even SEEN one for sale in the 8 years I have lived in Southern California. These were collected several decades ago. 12 x 10 x 4.5 cm
