Slightly cup-shaped formation of solid Diptase. One side shows nothing but bright, lustrous Dioptase crystals with occasional tiny yellow Wulfenites. The other side shows cup-shaped formations of Dioptase, Dioptase crytals, and about 30% coverage of a lighter green mineral with a form of small apple-green translucent globules. This one has both a flashy, showy display side and another side that's interesting under the loupe.

Bright and lustrous Dioptase crystals on a tan rock matrix. This specimen has interesting crystallization with somewhat wheat-sheaf formations of Dioptase intermixed with small yellow Wulfenite crystals. Saw cut on base.

Quartz scepter from a 2017 find, and one of the best I saw. The scepter head has both smokey and amethyst coloration and the stalk is pink due to Hematite inclusions. Complete all around. Withthe exception of two tiny crystals sticking into the side, the specimen is entirely undamaged. The combination of the colors and form make for a great specimen.

Laterally compressed translucent white Calcite crystal completely covered by a layer of sugary Quartz crystals, with attached double-terminated pink Stilbite crystals to 3.5cm. Unusual specimen that is reminiscent of Steve Smale's specimen known as 'The Cricket Bat' (see page 117 of the Smale Collection book). One tiny Stilbite crystal is incomplete, otherwise undamaged, with the Stilbite only on one side. Only the second one like it I've seen.

Large Ajo Copper with a row of tall crystals to 13cm!!! The crystals formed in a  seam and the specimen has a uniform thickness for it's entire length. This was in an old collection I bought and based on the other minerals in the collection, I estimate it's from the 1970s or 1980s. Reminds me of one of those old two-person saw blades used to cut down giant trees.

Selenite and Chrysocolla lined vug with large, robust crystals of dark green Clinoatacamite. These are regarded as the world's best Clinoatacamite specimens. The Lily Mine is now closed.

Pyrite and red crystals of Hutchinsonite on matrix. Hutchinsonite is a rare thallium sulfosalt species and these recently found red crystals are some of the best ever found. Crystals reach 8mm long and contrast nicely with the Pyrite. Undamaged with an even distribution of both species across the front face. About as nice a Hutchinsonite specimen as you could expect and the best one I've ever had.

High quality specimen of Clinoatacamite with an isolated crystals atop sparkling drusy Quartz crystals. Good crystals of this rare species. The Lily Mine is now closed.
