Double terminated, floater Quartz crystal with an attached, terminated pink Elbaite crystal. Undamaged Quartz crystal that is totally transparent with alternating lightly frosted luster faces and highly lustrous faces.

Absolute GEM of an Elbaite crystal - facet quality top to bottom. Aside from the total gemmyness, cool termination, and general perfection, it has an interesting color with a zone of red bounded above and below by green stripes. Top quality.

Single Dravite crystal exhibiting the "Usambara effect" color change (named after nearby mountains). This is a different type of color change than the Alexandrite effect, where the color changes in different types of lighting. In this case, the Dravite crystal appears green in normal lighting, however when a single light source is transmitted through the crystal, at a certain thickness, a sudden color shift from green to red is observed, while less thick areas remain green. Well terminated, complete crystal.

Three dark forest green Libethenite crystals that contrast nicely against the lighter colored matrix. This locality produced the world's best Libethenite, and this is a choice thumbnail from that find. Undamaged.

Fine, 1.2 cm Demantoid crystal perfectly perched atop matrix. The crystals has a great green color and is translucent with lots of gemmy zones. Undamaged specimen that stands out amongst others from this locality.

Single prismatic Scorodite with SUPERB gemmy blue zone at termination - you could facet a gemstone from the termination. Ex. Rice museum specimen. Undamaged.

Single gem crystal, complete all around and undamaged, with a shallow indentation on backside where another crystal intergrew. Top electric green color, from the famous December 2007 pocket that produced these crystals of exceptional color.

Fine gem quality Indicolite perfectly accented with some attached Albite at the base. Undamaged.

Sharp, lustrous single crystal with smooth faces and lots of gem zones. High quality, undamaged single crystal.

Green "Tanzanite" crystal from Pakistan. These have always been intriguing to me as only the second locality I'm aware of that produces gem quality Zoisite, however production was always very sporadic and nothing has been turning up for years. I bought this about 15 years ago and it has been in my collection ever since. The left side of the crystal has some gemmy zones with great green coloration. Complete all around.

Cluster of translucent pink Sapphire crystals. Largest crystal is 1.8cm long and complete all around.

Single purple Scapolite with tremendous transparency - 100% facet quality. Beautiful crystal.

Color zoned pair of Liddicoatite crystals with three distinct color bands, yellow to green with a red termination. The green band is unusually distinct. A somewhat flattened crystal which really allows the light to pass through and show off the colors. Lustrous and undamaged.

Terminated, translucent orange/pink Apatite crystal on a bed of Quartz crystals.

Gem quality spinel crystals to 1cm. Dark purple color, the transparency is evident with a little bit of backlighting. All are undamaged and one is an interesting twin crystal.
