Massive Calcite, Prehnite and Copper with a crystallized vug of the same species. There is a large 4cm Copper crystal in the vug as well as a mass of Prehnite that rises up and contains 2 well formed Copper crystals to 2.5cm wide.

Blue to blue-green Langite covering the front surface of specimen. The Langite is more green at the bottom and a more intense teal blue with better crystals at the top. Langite is a rare copper sulfate, some of the best of which are found in Ireland. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Gemmy yellow Sphalerite crystals on white Dolomite. These were a very limited occurrence in Panel 18 of the main north orebody. Collected by Stephan Moreton who was lucky to be there at just the right time. Yellow is an uncommon and sought after color for Sphalerite. Small but bright and gemmy crystals. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Abundant Gold and black sulfides in an open pocket of vuggy Quartz. Mined in April 2007 from the 'B' vein of the Lecanvey prospect. The mountain where this was found, Croagh Patrick, is famous as Ireland's holy mountain, where it's patron saint, Patrick, is said to have fasted and prayed.  St. Patrick's pocket was a small area of porous quartz where sulfide (likely pyrite) had long ago oxidised and washed out, leaving the Gold.  This is considered an exceptionally rich specimen from the find.  The Gold is approximately 85% gold and 15% silver. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Blue to blue-green Langite covering the front surface of specimen. The Langite is an intense teal blue with lots of crystals. Langite is a rare copper sulfate, some of the best of which are found in Ireland. Ex. Jim Knight, Tim Sherburn collections.

Red 'ruby-blende' Sphalerite with Quartz crystals and Dolomite. The Mogul Mine was a large zinc-lead mine that closed in 1982 and was famous for it's Sphalerite and Galena specimens. Comes with a couple old dealer labels including Isis Minerals and Richard Barstow. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Gemmy yellow Sphalerite crystals to 4-5mm in a vug with Galena and Pyrite. These were a very limited occurrence in Panel 18 of the main north orebody. Collected by Stephan Moreton who was lucky to be there at just the right time.Yellow is an uncommon and sought after color for Sphalerite. Bright and gemmy crystals collected in September 2007. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Gemmy yellow Sphalerite crystals with white Dolomite crystals. These were a very limited occurrence in Panel 18 of the main north orebody. Collected by Stephan Moreton who was lucky to be there at just the right time. Yellow is an uncommon and sought after color for Sphalerite and the gemmy crystals on this piece reach 6mm. High quality bright and gemmy crystals. collected in September 2007. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Nodule of solid Sulfur in a hard grey rock matrix. There is a small vug of white Calcite crystals just below the Sulfur. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Cluster of transparent Quartz crystals on tan Dolomite. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection, purchased by Tim in 2006 from the David Green collection.

Shiny black botryoidal formations of Goethite. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection, acquired from Steve Moreton in 2008.

Dark green Chlorite and red Rutile crystals. Collected from boulders near a small hydroelectric dam. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Transparent scalenohedral Calcite crystals on matrix from the Tara Mine. Crystals to 3cm. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Basalt vug lined with brilliant, sparkling white crystals of Chabazite. High quality, undamaged glassy crystals. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.

Vuggy specimen of bright yellow cadmium Smithsonite and purple Fluorite. Botryoidal, satiny Smithsonite is present in open vugs all around the specimen. The Sheshodonnell East Mine is a small former zinc mine that was worked in about 1862-63 (per MINDAT). The miners were lookng for the sphalerite and the smithsonite was placed in the dumps, and collected about 100 years later. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.
