Glassy, distinctive Tourmaline from one of the most famous pockets found in Brazil. The Lemon Tree Pocket was found in 2005 and produced these stunning, color-zoned crystals with high glassy luster and areas with rare (for Tourmaline) yellow coloration. This is a crystal I purchased from Daniel Trinchillo when they were first being sold and have held ever since. It's complete all around and undamaged and has the bonus of an attached purple Lepidolite crystal. Weighs 44.41 grams.

Glassy single Tourmaline crystal with a blue body color and bright purple termination. This is an older piece I bought in the 1990s and held onto due to the unusual colors. Complete all around and undamaged except for a couple very trial nicks. Weighs 36.16 grams.

Pseudomorph of Quartz after a single Danburite crystal. The entire outer surface is covered by drusy Quartz crystals. Complete and undamaged.

Black cubes of Bixbyite on a large single Garnet pseudomorph. Such pseudomorphs are typically dull grey specimens of Hematite ps. Garnet. This specimen appears to be a  Hematite pseudomorph after garnet with additiional pseudomorphism of Topaz on the surface.  The Topaz give the lustrous glassy reflections that mimic the geomtric faces of the original garnet crystal.  These are uncommon!

Fibrous red/orange crystals of Ludlockite on matrix from a recent find at the Ojuela Mine. This was found recently by a local miner searching for Legrandite and shipped directly to me from Mexico. While most specimens showed small areas of Ludlockite, this was the only one with a solid seam of pure Ludlockite running through the entire specimen. Ludlockite is a rare lead iron arsenite species and specimens were previously best known from the Type locality of Tsumeb. Ludlockite specimens from Tsumeb were found decades ago from a single boulder and are very hard to obtain. These recent specimens from Mexico make a once very difficult to obtain species available to collectors.
