Single translucent yellow crystal on matrix. Undamaged though back edge is contacted where it grew against the pocket wall.

Dense grouping of bright green platy crystals of the rare mineral Szenicsite. A good thumbnail of a mineral that is both rare and attractive. Szenicsite is named after American mineral collectors Terry and Marissa Szenics, 

Twinned Rhodochrosite crystal, a floater with no points of attachment. The color is just outstanding. This was recently released from the Charlie Key collection and it is clear he saved some good ones. Previous twinned Mont St. Hilaire Rhodos I've seen have all been a darker brick red color and opaque. This one is bright red and translucent through most of the specimen. Undamaged. A small amount of minerals attached to one edge.

Terminated single gem crystal of blue Apatite. Superb luster and facet grade for it's entire length.

Two gemmy Tourmaline crystals on a Quartz crystal. This is one I've had for about 40 years, purchased from Fraziers rock shop in Berkeley back in the 70s.
