Jim & Dawn Minette Collection Jim and Dawn Minette put together arguably the finest thumbnail mineral collection ever. We acquired the collection in 2008, but some fine specimens fell through the cracks and are still available. Keep in mind that Minette thumbnails often pushed the size envelope so they may not fit exactly into a 1 inch cube.

Chessy is certainly the most desirable of the European azurite localities, and this one shows why. This is a beautiful cluster of rich blue azurite rosettes. A wonderful TN.
