88 gram Monazite-ce Rare Texas Specimen!
Burnet County, Texas
Franklin Roberts, of Austin Texas, having some serious luck with a bit of skill and knowledge, finding some amazing things in the pegmatites of the Llano Uplift. The samples of Monazite-ce are a FIRST for Texas and not too shabby at all! Nice large xtls with crude broad faces.
Certainly one of the largest crystals of the bunch, great form, but a bit of cleavage and weathering going on. Great price for such a monster Monazite from Texas5 x 4 x 1.8 cm

Atomic Blast Trinitite
Trinity Nuclear Site, Tularosa Basin, Alamagordo, New Mexico
Trinitite is the name given to the byproduct of the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico. The blast turned the ground below it into a melted mixture of silica, feldspar and peridot. The only collecting of this material was in the 50’s, as it was burried over shortly after. Today, the location is closed to the public and collecting material is illegal, besides the fact that it is under several tons of dirt.2.5 x 2.1 x 1.1 cm
