Cluster of thick rhombs of red Rhodochrosite. This is from a recent find and we are more accustomed to seeing small wafer-like, twin Rhodo crystals from here, rather than these large, thick crystals. Crystals reach 2.5cm wide. Undamaged with some etched areas, mostly on the backside.

Rich chrome green Diopside crystal from the famous December 2007 find that produced Diopsides with a vivid, rich green color, far and away better than average Merelani Diopside. This is a fine single crystal complete all around with good luster. Undamaged with slight intergrowths of Graphite on one side.

Single translucent yellow crystal on matrix. Undamaged though back edge is contacted where it grew against the pocket wall.

Dense grouping of bright green platy crystals of the rare mineral Szenicsite. A good thumbnail of a mineral that is both rare and attractive. Szenicsite is named after American mineral collectors Terry and Marissa Szenics, 

Thick chunky crystals on both sides of a calcite matrix. Crystals are undamaged except on one edge where the matrix broke away. I can't decide which side I like better, both are good.
