Azurite crystals too 2.2cm and spherical masses of green Malachite on a white Dickite coated matrix. What a stunning piece! The Azurite has a waxy to satiny luster and is brilliantly translucent when backlit. From a single clay-filled pocket opened in April 2015 . There is a small nick on the upper right crystal, otherwise undamaged.

Translucent, layered rosettes (intergrown flattened rhombohedra) of Calcite which are included by silvery needles of Boulangerite. A complete floater specimen comprised of a 5.5cm central cluster with a few side clusters. Can be oriented to resemble Mickey Mouse!

Not your typical druse of Manganite crystals! This specimen features a lustrous, metallic, jet-black, striated, manganite crystal of 1.8 cm rising out of an open vug. The vug is set in massive crystalline manganite lined with a bit of barite for contrast. These old Ilfeld Manganites are regarded as the world's best for species and came out in late 1800s. 

Fine quality Siderite crystals over Quartz. The Siderite rhombs have excellent saturated color and reach 2cm in size. An old-time, desirable European classic of rich color and quality.

Cluser of Copper crystals with a large spinel twin of 3cm forming the base for additional smaller crystals. Good patina and in excellent condition.

Pink Inesite crystals covering matrix, but not your typical druse of evenly sized crystals. This particular find produced specimens with tufts of Inesite rising above the smaller crystals.

Gemmy and lustrous, water-clear, yellow Scapolite crystal with glassy termination faces from Morogoro, Tanzania. The recent finds of Scapolite from Tanzania have been outstanding. A fine Scapolite, complete all-around and with only minor edge wear and a small unidentified crystal included in the front face. Great aesthetics and an impressive gem crystal. Weighs 9.6 grams.

Gemmy and lustrous, water-clear, yellow Scapolite crystal with glassy termination faces from Morogoro, Tanzania. The recent finds of Scapolite from Tanzania have been outstanding. A fine Scapolite, complete all-around and undamaged except a slight chipping on the termination edges. Great aesthetics and an impressive gem crystal weighing 6.7 grams. All GEM!

Large Pyrite rich matrix with botryoidal Orpimnet and red crystals of Hutchinsonite. Hutchinsonite is a rare thallium sulfosalt species and these recently found red crystals are some of the best ever found. Crystals reach 7mm long and contrast nicely against the Orpiment.

A thick 4cm Azurite crystal/crystal group on matrix with smaller more prismatic crystals located below the large main crystal. There are also Cerussite and Mimetite present making this a classic multi-species Tsumeb piece. Great color to the Azurite, not too dark rather a bright blue.

Hard to find old Bisbee specimen composed of a cup-shaped formation of botryoidal Malachite. No matrix, just solid bright, dense Malachite in great condition.

Intergrown crystal groups of rare Volkovskite. This recent find of Volkovskite set the world standard for the species. They were found as a biproduct of mining for potash, and because the Volkovskite damages mine machinery, the area where it was found is now avoided and it is unclear if anymore will be recovered.

Bright metallic grey crystals of Gersdorffite from Morocco.  Fine quality crystals of Gersdorffite and a great display specimn for the species with bright green Annabergite adding good color contrast.
