It seems that the hottest localities of new and emerging fine minerals are all located in China, but Dr. Robert Lavinsky has had his eye on Chinese fine minerals for years. The Arkenstone has assembled a collection of many of the world's finest Chinese minerals. Containing a variety of localities, species, shapes, and sizes, this collection really is a treat! Whether you like thumbnail minerals, fabulous gemstones, or dazzling natural gold specimens, every mineral collector will be able to enjoy the incredible fine mineral specimens included in China Crystalline Treasures.
中国矿晶珍宝收藏是罗伯特·莱温斯基博士长期进行的一个项目。他收藏优质矿物晶体的兴趣已经有20年之久了。罗伯特·莱温斯基博士从14岁首次参加图森展时就开始收藏优质矿标。作为中国矿物界最权威的专家之一，罗伯特·莱温斯基博士发现了一些特殊矿物样本，而这些样本已经成为是私人收藏的一部分，将不予以出售。
[quote]Many of China’s minerals are the best in the world. The size and sparkle of China’s incredible stibnite specimens have no equal. Few other localities can match China’s fluorites, specimens that come in a gorgeous array of colors and crystals. And the rich red and orange hues of China’s calcite crystals delight collectors around the globe. The specimens on loan for this exhibit come from Dr. Rob Lavinsky, one of the world’s foremost collectors of Chinese minerals. Whether you’re already a mineral collector, or new to the world of gems and minerals, the specimens in this exhibit will delight you.
