Spectrum Minerals is currently "inactive" for a brief interlude...... Posted: 08/11/2008

We offer a wide variety of quality cabinet-sized mineral specimens for the collector, from beginner to advanced. We also embrace the concept of mineral specimens for home décor-"jewelry for your home." For that purpose, we offer a selection of different types of display accessories.

Specimens are grouped in 11 Rooms by predominant color as well as a collection of superlative specimens featuring high-quality specimens in a kaleidoscope of colors. We also provide a search engine to allow you to search by species, chemical class or locality.

Our photographs include the usual thumbnails, which may be enlarged by clicking on the specimen. In trying to provide as much information as possible, we have added an additional enlargement, attained by clicking on the enlarged photo. You may need to maximize your window to appreciate this feature. This is meant to approximate the view through a 10X loupe. Naturally, there is some fuzziness at the edges due to the extreme enlargement, and there are some small problems with depth of field, but this offers an unusual opportunity to examine the crystals in detail. We believe this approaches the limits of what can be shown in two dimensions. Please, let us know whether you find this helpful or distracting.

We provide a shopping cart feature so you may select items as you browse for further review prior to purchase. Orders may be placed using the on-line checkout or by contacting us via e-mail. We offer a number of payment options including secure, on-line credit card processing, through PayPal. See How to Order and How to Use the Website for further details.

We hope you find this presentation useful and solicit your comments as to any improvements we can make. Thanks for visiting. We hope you have a pleasant and informative visit. Please plan to return for periodic updates.
