Large specimen of pink Rhodonite with crystallized Galena. While not a complete crystal (but crystallized), the sheer amount of Rhodonite is astonishing. Recently released from an old Australian collection.

 Coober Pedy, South Australia, Australia
cabinet - 12.5 x 10 x 5 cm

This is a fine representative specimen from one of the most important localities for this rare copper-bearing phosphate species. This specimen was field collected pre 2012. None or very few specimens remain on the dumps of this mine. It had a very shallow oxidized zone and the future of mineral specimen production at this locality is bleak.

Mound shaped clusters of soft pink Manganocalcite from Broken Hill. Better than average piece recently released from an old Australian collection and now seldom seen.

Hundreds of reticulated Cerussite crystals on the front and back of the matrix. There is a vug on the 'front' filled with Cerussite over Malachite, and the back is nearly solid Cerussite crystal with just a bit of Malachite. In amazingly good condition given the huge number of Cerussites on this specimen.

Well formed red Rhodonite crystals in a matrix of crystallized Galena. The main Rhodonite crystal is 1.5cm tall and displays perfectly.

Dark red acicular crystal clusters on matrix. There are several radial clusters embedded in the matrix. Better known from South Africa, here's a nice Australian example.

 Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia
small cabinet - 5.5 x 5 x 4 cm


(click on an image to enlarge)

Chlorargyrite from Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp901a.jpg] Chlorargyrite from Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp901c.jpg] Chlorargyrite from Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp901d.jpg]

Olive green crystals of Chlorargyrite over most of the front face. The entire specimen appears to by nearly all solid Chlorargyrite. Chlorargyrite is a rare silver species that's at it's best from Broken Hill.

LP903 - Chenevixite $ 280
 Ashburton Downs Station, Ashburton Shire, Western Australia, Australia
small cabinet - 8 x 6.5 x 6 cm


(click on an image to enlarge)

Chenevixite from Ashburton Downs Station, Ashburton Shire, Western Australia, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp903a.jpg] Chenevixite from Ashburton Downs Station, Ashburton Shire, Western Australia, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp903b.jpg] Chenevixite from Ashburton Downs Station, Ashburton Shire, Western Australia, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp903c.jpg] Chenevixite from Ashburton Downs Station, Ashburton Shire, Western Australia, Australia [db_pics/pics/lp903e.jpg]

Box work formation of Chenevixite typical for this obscure locality. The lime green color is evident in areas without the Limonite staining. Chenevixite is an uncommon copper asenate mineral and except for the Limonite surface coatings, this appears to be composed of nearly solid Chenvixite. There are also small crystals of what I believe are Olivenite present in the vuggy areas between the boxwork.

In amazingly good condition given the huge number of Cerussites on this specimen.

Bright green crystals of Atacamite well protected in an open vug. Moe commonly seen as thick nodular masses, these free standing crystals are very appealing. Old hard to find material.

Reticulated Cerussite specimen from Broken Hill. Good sized example that's nearly solid Cerussite. Older specimen likely mined prior to 1920.
