Pictures are thumbnails - click
on images for full resolution photos. Specimens here are
representative of our inventory, so if you don't see exactly what you
are looking for please email us at
wheierman@corunduminium.com
and I will try to find it. If you are interested in a particular
specimen, please refer to it using the reference in the left column. We prefer to do business the
good, old-fashioned way; but if paying by check or money order we may
require clearance of funds prior to shipment. We can take PayPal
payments, but are not set up for credit cards.
We do combine shipments
(or you may pick your stones up) and we can offer reduced prices on
multiple orders, depending on whose specimens are involved and how much
discretion we have. We prefer to ship by U.S. Mail (First Class,
Priority, or Parcel Post). For heavy items or lots, Flat Rate
Priority seems to be the best way to ship.
Prices mentioned include domestic shipping costs
by insured U.S. Mail. |

BE-1 BERYL, var.
EMERALD [BRAZIL]
|
|
|
| |
 |
This is my favorite emerald specimen.
The smaller, broken but healed interpenetrant twin is
translucent, meaning it is not white or black inside as so many
of these huge crystals are. The larger one is,
unfortunately, more opaque and somewhat irregularly colored on
the back (that is why it is the back). When I first saw
it, it was almost totally covered with gneiss; and the little
part exposed made me think it was a large tourmaline crystal.

BP-1
PAINITE [ WET
LOO MINE, KYAUK PYA TART, BURMA ] |
|
|
| |
 |
Though larger clusters exist, I
know of only one bigger crystal; and this one is
doubly terminated! It may be, all things considered, the
finest pure painite specimen in existence. It weighs about 101 grams
(505 carats). It is well-formed and slightly
complex, showing both "parallel growth" striations
and "herring-bone twinning".
