Green, glassy Fluorite cubes to 2.3cm across. Fluorite from this locality can occur in a variety of colors, this stands out because it is so much more transparent than most. Nice glassy luster in an aesthetic cluster.

Pink Calcite crystals that show nicely with the green Malachite. This is an old specimen from a locality that produced superb pink Calcites; the new stuff from Morocco just doesn't compare to these. I just love these and pick them up whenever I can find them. There is a cleavage face on the lower left of the lower front crystal group; top, main display crystal is undamaged.

Highly aesthetic specimen of a well terminated Aegerine (not a ragged termination like most) with an attached cluster of smokey quartz and a small orthosclase crystal. While not as large as some, this is as good as I've seen fromthis locality in terms of aesthetics.


AF393 - Anglesite $ 800 SOLD
Tsumeb, Namibia
small cabinet - 7.6 x 3.5 x 2.6


(click on an image to enlarge)

Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393a.jpg] Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393b.jpg] Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393c.jpg] Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393d.jpg] Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393e.jpg] Anglesite from Tsumeb, Namibia [db_pics/pics/af393f.jpg]

Cuprite from Red Dome Mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia [db_pics/pics/a756a.jpg] Cuprite from Red Dome Mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia [db_pics/pics/a756b.jpg] Cuprite from Red Dome Mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia [db_pics/pics/a756c.jpg] Cuprite from Red Dome Mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia [db_pics/pics/a756d.jpg]

A 1cm Cuprite crystal set on Cuprite with smaller crystals. Red Dome Cuprite is the world's best in my opinion because it is so transparent and bright. With a little backlighting, the main crystal really lights up. The best pieces from this find sold in the high five figures and there is not much of this material on the market anymore.


AF397 - Vanadinite on Barite $ 350 SOLD
Mibladen, Morocco

Bright red Vanadinite crystals to 8mm on white Barite crystals. The main crystals display great and contrast well against the white Barite. A few smaller crystals are missing. While Vanadinites are now plentiful, specimens on white Barite are not as plentiful and make for the best specimens.
