    Since the last newsletter, we have made many improvements to the site in response to EarthWonders member feedback. We are thankful to those who submit feedback and encourage you to follow all site updates.

    • Improvements to the Mobile Experience for Accessing EarthWonders.
    • The color wheel has been enhanced to provide better results when searching for specimens.
    • Improved collector and store pages.
    • The user menu has been simplified.

    Enhanced Color Search

    Our new color slider allows you to find specimens with greater precision. You can now select an exact color match for your desired specimen, or adjust the Color Match Tolerance to explore similar hues within the same color family.

    Amethyst from the Goboboseb Mountains

    If you've been looking for top-quality amethysts, Scott Struthers just listed some incredible pieces from the Goboboseb Mountains in Namibia. These are the kinds of specimens that serious collectors go crazy for.

    He's got a range of sizes and prices ($1,400 to $8,500), so there's something whether you're looking for a centerpiece or building your collection.

    Here's what's cool about buying directly from Scott. You're not going through dealers or middlemen. You're buying straight from the collector. You can actually message him, hear the story of how he got them, and maybe even negotiate a bit. It's way more personal than buying from a random website. This is exactly why we built EarthWonders, to connect collectors directly. No markup games, no mystery sources. Just collectors selling to collectors.

    If you're a collector too and want to list your specimens for sale, just go to your specimen and click on the edit button, which will show you a "Sell Specimen" button. Enter the relevant info, and your specimen should be up for sale.
