Highly glassy and transparent Aqua with superb luster on the faces and matte luster on the bevel edges of the terminations. The smaller diameter crystal rising through the main makes this one stand out among other similar single Aqua crystals. The sides are perfect except for one small area of contact and another small divot where a 3mm Tantalite (?) crystal is intergrown with the Aqua. Good blue color. Ex. Laura Thompson, Jon Sigerman collections.

Choice thumbnail crystal of these unusual Tourmalines from Vietnam. The green outer zone is Liddicoatite while the red core is Elbaite. Complete and undamaged with neat multifaceted termination.

Thumbnail crystal of these unusual Tourmalines from Vietnam. The green outer zone is Liddicoatite while the red core is Elbaite. Undamaged with neat multifaceted termination, however backside has contacting where other crystal grew along side it, which is somewhat of a bonus as it reveals the red inner core.

A 3cm white Calcite crystals intergrown with Stibnite.

Pale green Quartz with unusual habit with an attached small pyrite cube near the base. The crystal is composed of hundreds of smaller Quartz crystals which cumulatively retain the six sided form of a single Quartz. This is one of the very best of a parcel of similar crystals I bought several years ago that I just "found" while digging through some flats.

Fine quality Anatase crystals on matrix. A total of 10 crystals that contrast well against the sparkly druse of tiny Albite and Quartz crystals. The tips of the crystals show good translucency. Though priced much lower, these Anatase are every bit as good in quality as their Norwegian counterparts, and are currently plentiful but may not be so in the near future.

Fine quality Anatase crystal on matrix of Albite and Quartz crystals. The double terminated Anatase crystal is 1.1cm wide. Though priced much lower, these Anatase are every bit as good in quality as their Norwegian counterparts, and are currently plentiful but may not be so in the near future.

Fine quality Anatase crystals on matrix. A total of 2 crystals that contrast well against the stark white Albite crystals. The tips of the crystals show good translucency. Though priced much lower, these Anatase are every bit as good in quality as their Norwegian counterparts, and are currently plentiful but may not be so in the near future.

Highly transparent light smokey Quartz crystal with interesting steped growth on one side and a smaller sidecar crystal on the other. This was found very near Furka Pass, on the border between Valais and Uri cantons, in the highest ground between the upper Rhone glacier and Damma glacier. Fine undamaged specimen from the Jon Sigerman collection..

Mirror lustrous Galena and Pyrite crystals, with good crystals on both sides of specimen.

Vertical stack of Pyrite crystals to 2cm with attached Sphalerite and tiny Quartz crystals. Complete all around and undamaged.

Large cubes of purple Fluorite with yellow cores covered by Calcite. Attractive spcimen I recently bought out of a collection.

Translucent to transparent 3cm wide purple Fluorite cube smartly perched on Sphalerite. Smaller Fluorite cubes and Barite provide accent.

Two translucent purple Fluorite cubes on Sphalerite. The Fluorite display well perched up on the Sphalerite and reach 3.3cm wide and are complete all around and undamaged.

Translucent red Zircon crystal with nice luster.
