Interesting pseudomorph of a prismatic Microcline crystal that have been replaced by Quartz and Schorl. These were from a small find that appeared at the Munich show this year. The Quartz is fantastic and occurs as hundreds of small crystals that form a criss-crossing laticework on the faces of the former Microcline. There is a 4cm fan-shaped cluster of Schorl attached to the backside. Complete and undamaged.

Gemmy wafer-like crystal of ruby with good luster and triangular growth patterns on the faces.

Gemmy wafer-like crystal of Ruby with good luster and triangular growth patterns on the faces. Transparent in most areas as seen in photos. This is a complete, natural crystal of ruby, not a slice.

Bright lime green, gem quality Diopside crystal. I consider the Merelani Diopside the world's best.

Bright lime green, translucent to transparent Diopside crystal. Complete all around with intergrown Graphite in areas.

Fine quality Anatase crystals to 1cmon matrix. A total of 3 crystals in the cluster. The tips of the crystals show 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.

Mirror lustrous Galena (exceptional for Galena!) and Pyrite crystals. Backside is also crystalized, covered with small Quartz and Sphalerite crystals.

Mirror lustrous Galena (exceptional for Galena!) and Pyrite crystals. One Galena has an interesting cavernous growth in one face. The combination of the bright mirror faces on the Galena and the brightness of the Pyrite make for ane xceptionally attractive Galena specimen.

Transparent purple Fluorite cubes perched on deep red translucent Sphalerite crystals. About 10-12 Fluorite cubes that reach 1.5cm wide.

Floater cluster of two translucent purple Fluorite cubes. Complete all around and undamaged, recrystallized on the bottom.

Glassy and gemmy single Brazilianite crystal. A beautiful crystal, complete all around though with some contacts on the lower back crystal faces where other crystals were intergrown, with a much better than average degree of transparency. Recently released from a local collection.
