Top 12 Mineral Localities
As with our "Top 100 Minerals List", this is just our opinion. It is a somewhat subjective list with the chief criteria that the localities listed are widely recognized as prolific and producing "world-class" specimens. The list will be added to over time to give users a thumbnail sketch of these famous localities...suggestions are welcome!
The list is in alphabetical order, and you can use this list to search the site for minerals we have on offer. As with other lists, information will be continuously added so check back to see what is new!
