Silvery metallic single Carrollite crystal with attached Chalcopyrite. A good sized crystal with a smaller crystal attached. It has mirror bright surface luster with bright silvery color (so lustrous some photos appear dark). The Carrollite is undamaged and crystallized all around. The back face is flat where it appears to have grown against a Calcite crystal.

Translucent red/orange color pagoda-shaped crystal of Wurtzite. At the tips are dark areas of epitaxial Sphalerite. These recent Wurtzite specimens from the Merelani Tanzanite mines are the world's best and now rarely found.

Pink octahedral Fluorite crystals on a matrix of Muscovite crystals. The largest Fluorite is 3.5cm wide. The Fluorite is translucent to transparent and has small surface growth features and a mixture of glassy and matte surface luster. Aesthetic miniature that is undamaged.

Floater cluster of Azurite from the famous Chessy mines of France. This one has a neat 2.5cm wide crystal edge forming a sharp ridge right down the center. These mines are long closed and I understand these specimens were found in the 1800s. There are no points of contact, a complete floater. There is some damage on one end but overall it's in great condition.

Uncommon pseudomorph specimen of Hematite that has replaced a single garnet crystal. A msotly complete crystal from a recently purchased old garnet collection.

Cluster of large Paravauxite crystals from the famous Siglo XX (Twentieth Century) Mine in Bolivia. These are very large crystals for the species (the main crystal is 2.1cm!!) - most Paravauxite crystals are under 1cm in size.  The Siglo Veinte mine is the Type locality for this uncommon phosphate species.  Small amounts of blue Vauxite adds color contrast. Big crystals!
