Purple/red Almandine garnet crystal exposed in a schist matrix from the well known Wrangell Island locality. The crystal is 2.1cm wide with red flashes. Saw cut on base.

Intergrown cluster of tabular blue Alkali Beryl crystals, Tourmaline, and Mica. The Beryl crystals reach 1.3cm in size with glassy luster on the thin edges. The colorful Tourmaline crystals show light etching. Well crystallized all around. Note that these were once thought to be the Cesium rich species Vorobyevite but analyses did not show Cesium and this name has since been discredited.

Three crystals of translucent to transparent Apatite crystals in a vug with Quartz crystals. The crystals have good purple color with the main Apatite crystal 1cm in size. Sawcut on base and one side.

Glassy bright green Ludlamite crystals and transparent blue/green Vivianite from a relatively new locality in northwestern Brazil. The large open vug is 10cm wide with Vivianite rising up from the bottom on the back wall covered by good sized Ludlamite crystals. Beautiful combination specimen of both species. Sawcut on base and stands on it's own perfectly for display.

Clusters of sky blue Hemimorphite over darker blue/green Rosasite from recent finds in the Congo. The Hemimorphite forms satiny hemispherical mounds. Most found were solid druses of Hemimorphite without Rosasite and specimens such as this with more isolated clusters on the Rosasite were uncommon. Highly aesthetic specimen for the find.

Exceedingly large single pink Cobaltian Calcite crystal from the Congo. This is a complete scalenohedral crystal that is partially doubly terminated along the bottom. Translucent and undamaged with green Kolwezite adding color contrast. This is the largest single Cobaltian Calcite I've ever seen from the locality. Last photo is backlit.

Unusual Milpillas specimen composed of thin, wafer-like Azurite crystals in a flower-like formation. The Azurite has a much different than normal, lighter bright blue coloration. This has never been cleaned and more of the white clay couldlikely be removed if desired.
