Tall clusters of orange, arsenian Pyromorphite crystals on matrix. The crystals have great color with 'wet' luster. Obtained via trade, the previous collector paid $1,850 for this back in 2017. Ex. Rosey collection.

Single Rhodochrosite stalactite from the Capillitas Mine. The top end has been cut and polished to reveal the internal concentric rings of varying shades of pink and red. The outer surfaces are crystallized. This one has an excellent, translucent deep red center.

Matrix of blocky white, porcelain-like Albite crystals hosting purple Axinite crystals and sprays of green Epidote. The Axinite crystals reach 2cm in size and have sharp edges and areas of transparency. This is classic old Californian material collected decades ago by Chuck Trantham.

Blue to white crystals of rare Lawsonite in a Glaucophane schist matrix. Crystals reach 1.8cm in size. Old specimen from the Type locality for the species, collected by Chuck Trantham back in 1968. Rare stuff! Ex. Chuck Trantham.

Rare old time GEM Sanidine crystal. Feldspar 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 doubly-terminated crystal in excellent condition, crystallized all around with exceptionally sharp form for the locality. The crystal has a strong yellow coloration and is internally transparent. The faces alternate from smooth and glassy on the narrow sides to a dimpled surface texture on the larger faces. Both ends have good terminations. This is one held in my personal collection for at least 25 years.

Single crystal of golden-colored Sericite with the appearance of layers of gold foil compressed together and folded. Ex. J.S. Sobolewski collection.
