Transparent Aquamarine crystal attached to a smokey Quartz crystal. The Aquamarine is unusualy transparent, perfect and undamaged with good color, especially for a small size. The Smokey Quartz shows good termination faces on the front, is contacted at the back. A sweet little gem of a thumbnail!

Thick, glossy single black Ilvaite crystal with typical chisel-shaped termination. There is a small area of Quartz in one termination face that has caused an indentation in the face. I'm not sure if it natural growth or damage as the Quartz itself is fully crystallized. Complete all around. Good large, thick crystal.

Single Tourmaline crystal with a yellow/brown base and pink termination. Slight chipping on one edge otherwise undamaged. Complete all around. Weighs 16.18 grams.

Single Tourmaline crystal with a yellow/brown base and pink upper half. Transluscent with bright coloration. This crystal has a frosted surface luster due to a thin layer of second generation Tourmaline growth on the surface. There is also a small Tourmaline attached to the side. Complete all around and undamaged. Weighs 47.1 grams.

Single Tourmaline crystal with a yellow/brown base and pink termination. Translucent to transparent with strong color (the yellow zone is transparent and the pink zone is more translucent). Complete all around and undamaged. Weighs 19.7 grams.

Golden yellow cubic Fluorite crystal. Undamaged.

Terminated single Aquamarine crystal with attached Muscovite and Albite. Glassy luster and gemmy with very slight surface etching. I found one tiny, trivial nick, otherwise complete all around and undamaged.

Cluster of transparent Aquamarine crystals attached to a twinned, etched Feldspar crystal. Small crystals of black Tourmaline are also present. Undamaged.

Felspar is a mineral not ususally known for fine collector gem crystals, but at this locality in Madagascar, amazing water clear crystals are sometimes found. This is a double-terminated crystal in excellent condition (I found 1 small chip and a bit of matrix attached to the bottom face), crystallized on all sides. The crystal has a good yellow coloration and is internally transparent. The faces alternate from smooth and glassy to a curvy surface texture that is common to these and always reminds me of a topographic map. There is a natural hollow area that extends into part of the back face. Weighs 43.47 grams.

Felspar is a mineral not ususally known for fine collector gem crystals, but at this locality in Madagascar, amazing water clear crystals are sometimes found. This is a thick, gemmy crystal in good condition (I found 1 small chip). The crystal is terminated with four smooth, flat prism faces. The crystal has a good yellow coloration and is internally transparent - looks to me like facet quality for the entire crystal. Weighs 35.91 grams.
