Flat, Natrolite coated matrix covered with dozens of small golden brown Joaquinite crystals along with blue Benitoite and black Neptunite crystals. This is a very rich example of this rare species and one of the best I've ever seen. It was etched by Steve Perry long ago and I bought it as soon as it was finished. I have held this in my personal collection for at least 20 years. Besides the Joaquinite, the Benitoite are gemmy and blue and the Neptunites are lustrous and without cracking. The crystals are well separated and well dispersed. This is a top Joaquinite specimen.

Large, well formed Acanthite with individual crystals to 2cm. Complete all around with small wire of Silver in areas.  A great example of the significant find of Moroccan Acanthite.

Cluster of interconnected orange Wulfenite crystals from Mezica, Slovenia. The crystals reach 2cm in size and cover a rock matrix.

Tabular gem Clinozoisite from Tormiq Valley in Pakistan.  A complete all around glassy and gemmy single crystal of high quality.

Rich green, gemmy, dodecahedral Demantoid crystals on matrix. The largest Demantoid crystal measures about 1.2cm across. Bright, gemmy crystals. Displays well from a couple directions.

Single Peridot crystal with good green color and transparency. Complete all around. Good Peridot crystals such as this have crisp, sharp edges versus the more commonly seen crystals with rounded edged.

Sharply formed Ferberite crystal fronting a clear Quartz crystal, both accented by small clusters of mica. Purchased decades ago just as production from the Yaogangxian mine was hitting the market. Undamaged, well balanced, and displays great.

Yellow Smithsonite crystals that formed as casts after Cerussite. The Smithsonite is sparkling and undamaged. The Cerussite is mostly all gone but a couple small crystals can be seen from the edges. Comes with an old Roberts Minerals label.

Small, gemmy Rhodonite crystal from Broken Hill. Ex. Dennis Ewell collection.

Cluster of octahedral Cuprites with associated Silver and Copper. This is a fabulous, complete and undamaged floater with no points of contact. Individual crystals reach 1.7cm in size.

Large, complete single orange Grossular from Mexico. Complete all around crystal with just a slight indent/contact on the bottom face. Translucent to transparent. Ex. Dennis Ewell collection.

Single Tanzanite crystal with a Pyrite crystal attached to one side. Pyrite is not unusual from Merelani, but Tanzanite specimens with attached Pyrite are fairly uncommon, especially those with the pyrite perched so aesthetically on the Tanzanite. The Tanzanite is also a bi-color with a yellow termination over a blue body color. Unusual addition to a Merelani suite.

Small, gemmy doubly-terminated Vesuvianite crystal from the Jeffrey Mine.

Doubly-terminated yellow and pink bi-color Apatite crystals to 8mm attached to the side of an etched Goshenite crystal. Superb for this find. One side has the majority of the Apatites while the other sides shows good crystal faces of the Goshenite.

Small, transparent doubly-terminated Vesuvianite crystal from the Jeffrey Mine.
