AF837 - Chrome Tourmaline $ 900 SOLD Landani, Tanzania thumbnail - 2.3 x 2.0 x 1.5 cm Superb gem quality crystal. Known as "Chrome" Tourmaline, it is actually a vanadium rich Uvite/Dravite. These are uncommon to find and this is of excellent quality, though dark green, backlighting reveals the high transparency, like green glass, 53 carats in weight.
AF841 - Sphalerite with Pyrite and Calcite (?) $ 100 SOLD Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania thumbnail - 1.8 x 1.7 x 1.6 cm Translucent red Sphalerite crystal, only the second Sphalerite I have seen from Merelani. The top of the crystal is partially coated by Pyrite, atop which are what I beleive to be Calcite crystals which have an unusual "wheatsheaf" habit. This would be a nice addition to a Merelani suite.
