Nice blue Sodalite in a thin veneer as seen in the last photo. Comes with a label from Henry deLinde's collection, an expert on the mineralogy of the area and claim holder. Henry was a member of the famous CCA, Coon Creek Association which included several famous mineralogists besides deLinde including Don Owens, Al Kidwell, Buford Nichols, Mike Howard, Lourens Wals, Art Smith, and Dr. Charles Milton. What a group! I'm tickled to have acquired much of Don Owens' collection, Dr. Al Kidwell's, Dr. Buford Nichols' collection, and much of Art Smith's collection. Without these guys a lot of the minerals of this area may not have ever seen the collector market and reach such a known status of famous mineral localities.
