T115 - Chrysocolla psuedo. Malachite psuedo. Azurite with Wulfenite $ 1800 SOLD Whim Creek, Western Australia, Australia miniature - 5 x 4.5 x 3.3 cm ![]() ![]() ![]() Richly colored double psudomorph of Chrsocolla after Malachite after Azurite. Big crystals are present across the top of this piece with a matrix covered by tiny spheres of Chrysocolla and small Wulfenite crystals. The blue on this specimen is just superb - compare to others which are more of a blueish green. Ex. Charlie Key collection.
T116 - Cerussite $ 900 SOLD Touissit Mine, Oujda, Morocco small cabinet - 6.7 x 4.8 x 2.5 cm ![]() ![]() ![]() Complete sixling Cerussite that is good sized. Large Cerussites are not as common from Touissit as they are from Tsumeb. The old label calls this a Cat's-eye Cerussite and indeed there are fibrous inclusions in areas that display a shiller effect. Complete on both sides and undamaged.
T118 - Vanadinite $ 280 SOLD Mibladen, Morocco small cabinet - 7 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm ![]() ![]() ![]() Brilliant red Vanadinite crystals on matrix. Crystals reach 1.8cm wide. I have looked at thousands of Vanadinite specimens over the years and most have a good side and a bad side. All the crystals facing one direction will have luster and the other sides will be dull and brownish. This specimen is one of the good ones with crystals that have the same bright red color and luster on both sides. A couple of the small crystals are incomplete and the top crystal has one tiny contact/ding, but all the others, the vast majority, are good. Bright, showy translucent red crystals.

Charlie Key collection.
