AF829 - Enstatite $ 120 (=~ £ 96) SOLD Kilosa, Tanzania thumbnail - 1.8 x 0.7 x 0.6 cm Transparent, brown Enstatite crystal with good luster and a good, though slightly etched, termination. Crystals from this find are usually only suitable for facet rough as most are unterminated and etched, in fact this crystal was pulled from facet rough. Complete all around and undamaged.

AF832 - Tremolite $ 200 (=~ £ 160) SOLD Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania thumbnail - 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.8 cm Bright lime green Tremolite crystal with an amzingly flat and glassy termination. These are occassionally found at Merelani and set the standard for Tremolite.
AF833 - Tremolite $ 300 (=~ £ 240) SOLD Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania miniature - 3.3 x 1.5 x 0.7 cm Bright lime green, terminated Tremolite crystal. These are occassionally found at Merelani and set the standard for Tremolite. There are some unidentified white crystals and a tiny speck of Pyrite attached at the base.

AF837 - Chrome Tourmaline $ 900 (=~ £ 720) 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 (=~ £ 80) 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.
