An intergrown mass of deep green, shining fuchsite flakes and light grayish lawsonsite crystals. Although the lawsonites are mostly incomplete, the specimen is notable for the association (classic for the locality) and the rarity of lawsonite. Lawsonite is a calcium-aluminum sorosilicate, CaAl₂(Si₂O₇)(OH)₂ ^. H₂O, for which Reed Station is the type locality. An old label indicates the specimen was collected in 1960.

Opaque, micaceous, green metatorbernite flakes lying flat on a quartz/feldspar matrix. Individual crystals reach 3 mm along the crystal edge. Highly typical for the species at this locality.

A cluster of opaque but sharp calcite crystals, pseudomorphed after glauberite. The calcites have a surface texture like unglazed porcelain and reach 4 cm along the edge of the largest individual crystal. Many of these classic pseudomorphs are labeled as being gypsum when in fact they are calcite. This is a particularly good, undamaged example.

A cluster of colorless, transparent to translucent quartz crystals hosts an overgrowth of off-white, opaque aragonite blossoms, like a small coral reef. Displays well without need for a stand. No damage.

A flat plate of nearly parallel, chisel-pointed, orange-brown, translucent orpiment crystals on a mixed sulfides matrix. Individual orpiment crystals reach 1.4 cm in length. Except for a few, scattered rubs (expected with a mineral this soft), the specimen is free of damage. A fine Italian orpiment for the price.

A flat plate of sharply crystalline sphalerite hosts a scattering of chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, and calcite crystals. The sphalerite is black, highly lustrous, and opaque. The chalcopyrite is bright and brassy, with most of the crystals being intergrown with the sphalerite but otherwise incomplete. Also present are a few small arsenopyrites, and on one face, a dusting of colorless, lightly frosted, translucent calcites. Scattered edgewear, difficult to find under magnification, but otherwise no damage to this interesting assemblage.

Deep green, opaque libethenite octahedra, with a few terminated quartz points, scattered about on matrix. Individual libethenite crystals reach 5 mm, and the majority are complete.

A rich collection of opaque, blue lazulite bipyramidal crystals on matrix. Individual crystals reach 7 mm across. Many are terminated and even doubly terminated. At least one {100} twin is present. Very typical for the species from this locality.

Gray-blue to bright robin's egg blue, bubbly and silky hemimorphite crusts on a vuggy matrix. Displays well from several angles without need for a stand. No damage, and very typical for this species from this locality.

This feldspar combination specimen features tabular microcline crystals sitting on a microcline crystal matrix. The albites are mostly sharp, colorless and translucent, and reach 2.2 cm across. The microcline is complete (except on two faces where removed from the host rock), opaque, off-white, with a surface like unglazed porcelain.

A fairly large, fairly well-formed, and nearly complete opaque, brown almandine garnet dodecahedron. Traces of the schist matrix still adhere.

A wonderfully sharp example of sand-included barite (a 'barite rose'). Aesthetic and free from damage, a fine example from the classic barite rose locality.
