Fantastic quartz from China.
American Geode used to sell geodes every weekend at the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market. There was another dealer of minerals and crystals there, gentleman from China, who offered this magnificent candlestick quartz in limestone to us in exchange for some Indiana geodes.

In January and February 2019 the American Geode team went to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. One of the shows off the side of the highway was a miners’ co-op, and American Geode acquired these very fine beautiful amethyst in matrix from miners who drive them down from Canada. They are from the Thunder Bay area of Canada. Contact American Geode with questions, comments, more information at http://www.americangeode.com.
