Clusters of sharp lustrous Dioptase crystals on white Calcite crystals. The Dioptase crystals reach 1.4cm in size and occur in two main clusters with several smaller crystals spinkled across the Calcite. Some very minor contact on the left cluster of Dioptase crystals, otherwise perfect and undamaged.  

Single well terminated Milarite crystal on matrix from old (1980s) finds in Brazil. Milarite is a rare silicate mineral with the best found in the Swiss Alps and this locality in Brazil. Well terminated, translucent single crystal with nicely beveled termination edges and vivid greenish yellow color. A rare thumbnail.

Sharp 1.2cm Beryl or Apatite crystal that was psuedomorphed to Turquoise. This is an excellent example for the locality as most are not as sharp or are partial crystals (these are brittle on most are destroyed in the removal process), in fact this is the most aesthetic thumbnail I've seen. The crystal was reattached to the matrix by the previous collector. The following is quoted from Mindat: 'Host rock is Teutonia quartz monazite (Beckerman, 1982). Late turquoise replacement of miarolitic cavities resulted in turquoise pseudomorphs after the following minerals: quartz, muscovite, beryl, microcline, apatite as well unconfirmed orthorhombic pseudomorphs labeled as after barite. Chesterman at the Ca. Div. of Mines and Geology confirmed turquoise pseudomorphs after beryl based on morphology, trace beryl remnants and in situ beryl nearby. (Nazelrod, pers. comm.)'.

Uncommon combination of white Scheelite, green Epidote, and reddish brown Grossular crystals from Mexico. Fluorescent. Comes with a Dan Weinrich label.

Vivid orange spherical group of Stellarite crystals on matrix from recent finds in Mexico. The crystal group is 2.3cm in size. Though these are fairly new to the mineral world, they are considered some fo the world's best of species due their rich orange coloration.

Partial cube of Platinum with a smaller attached crystal. Platinum crystals are much more rare than the nuggets and most are much more rounded than this one, in fact it was the sharpest, most well formed by far of a small lot of crystals I examined. It has stepped faces all around, well crystallized and undamaged. I understand these are no longer being found. Weighs 1.57 grams.
