More luscious halite!
These lovelies have now all found homes! We have halite placed in good homes all over the world! Austria, France, Canada and even Macau have fresh Searles Lake halite specimens with more being "adopted" every week! Be sure to take a look at our auctions this weekend at:
This beauty is just one example why I've fallen in love with Searles Lake halite! The abrupt color transition from 'Angel' to 'Raspberry" Pink caught at my heart, and the transparent, zoned crystals scream to be more than mere salt.
Be Well!

Fresh from the carry bins, this delicate ( still wet!) specimen of halite features transparent cubes of clear to raspberry red, on a tough 'finger' of nahcolite. It now resides in our entryway case.
On an informative note, our halite seems to be quite color fast, once fully dried and stored in indirect light.
