Featured objects are mostly South American in origin include a Diamond embedded in Kimberlite, Cassiterite, and an Amethyst tunnel over 12” long! Included are over 25 unique samples that Mr. Cotrofeld describes as “irreplaceable”, comparing the Georgi Collection to those at the Smithsonian or Museum of Natural History.
