Green Fluorite covering scalenohedral Calcite crystals. Out of so many crystals, there is damage to only one tip in the cluster (and slight at that), the rest are perfect. This came from a small pocket and this one was by far the best I saw of the only approximately 10 specimens available.

Intersecting, double-terminated Ilvaite crystals, one 8.8cm and the other 9cm long. A third crystal rises up behind the pair. The bottom of the third crystal is broken off behind the main crystal and is barely noticable. Terminations and the rest of the crystals are perfect.

Cluster of glassy and gemmy peach colored Analcime crystals. The Analcime from Daye are fantastic, the majority being white to clear. I was happy to find this one that was both a less common peach color AND had the best composition of any I saw. Slight edge wear on a couple edges, otherwise perfect and undamaged.

One of the most spectacular color combinations are these yellow Prehnites on Tanzanite. These are not common and this one displays strong colors of each mineral. Bright lemon yellow Prehnite crystals cover the back and one side of a single Tanzanite. Wow!
