CT780 - Quartz with Calcite Chihuahua, Mexico small cabinet - 7 x 5 x 4 cm Glassy, flower-like cluster of Quartz crystals on a matrix covered by small Calcite crystals. Highly aesthetic, undamaged specimen. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
LL147 - Malachite after Azurite Touissit, Oujda, Morocco small cabinet - 5.3 x 3.5 x 3 cm Two connected crystals of Malachite after Azurite pseudomorphs. Rich green with a velvety surface luster. Comes with an old Al McGuinness label.
LL493 - Calcite Leiping Mine, Leiping, Guiyang Co., Chenzhou, Hunan, China miniature - 5 x 2.5 x 2 cm Double-terminated transparent Calcite crystals with sharp phantoms caused by Hematite inclusions. There are additional smaller crystals sticking out at right angles from the main crystal. Undamaged. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.
LL672 - Clinoclase Copper Stope, Majuba Hill Mine, Pershing Co., Nevada, USA small cabinet - 7.5 x 5.5 x 4 cm Deep blue crystals of Clinoclase on matrix from the now defunct Majuba Hill Mine. The area of crystals is 4cm wide. An excellent example for the locality and of the species.

LL881 - Dioptase Ray Mine, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA cabinet - 13 x 8.5 x 4 cm Beautiful large specimen of Dioptase on drusy Quartz over Chrysocolla and Malachite. This looks like something out of Africa rather than the USA, but it's old Arizona material with large isolated Dioptase crystals to 7mm in size. A big and colorful Arizona classic that will add pop to a mineral case.
LL24 - Mottramite on Calcite Tsumeb, Namibia cabinet - 9.5 x 5 x 5 cm Large rhombic Calcite crystals comepletely coated by thick, large crystals of dark green Mottramite intergrown with a second generation of lenitcular Calcite crystals. Clean and undamaged, an excellent Mottramite specimen.
ST106 - Azurite Touissit Mine, Morocco small cabinet - 6.5 x 3 x 2 cm Bladed groups of long Azurite crystals. Well crystallized all around and pristine. Some areas show etching.
