I have some exciting rare minerals and crystal specimens that will be available over the coming week or so, most of which can be seen in the video newsletter Serendipty.

Some of the delicate crystals include the rare rose muscovite and golden baryte. Equally as rare are the stunning blues of the scorodite and rosasite crystals. Checkout the internal fire of the Ethiopian fire opals and zincblend (also known as sphalerite). Also soon to be available again alexandrite (the colour change chrysoberyl), crystal clear phenakite crystals and golden brazilianite. Finally some very rare nepheline crystals growing along with black andradite garnet (schorlomite or melanite). Nepheline rarely crystallises and most often forms nepheline syenite, nepheline monzonite and nephelinite feldspar rocks.

Welcome to the February edition of my Crystal Shop Video Newsletter Serendipity.

It has been a busy start to 2012 – and as we head towards March I thought I had better pause and put together the first newsletter of 2012.

I now have around 300 crystal descriptions in my online crystal database and I have kept myself busy adding video to the database. With over 500 videos in the online shop I am now about a third of the way through videoing my current stock. I hope that your browsing or shopping experience is enhanced by being able to see a video of the crystal before you purchase it.

This editions serendipitous feature is a relatively rare mineral called Hackmanite. Hackmanite is a variety of sodalite which is tenebrescent (or reversible photochromatic) – meaning it undergoes a colour change when subjected to photonic energy like UV light, which also causes it to fluoresce. A truely remarkable mineral which can change colour from blue to purple, white to purple, or white to red depending on where in the world the mineral is sourced. The depth and intensity of the colour change varies widely.

I have found some other rarities including winchite, xenotime and wavellite – all are featured in the video.
