Polished Quartz included by green hair-like Tremolite along the backside. Ex. Kerith Graeber.

Partial cube of Platinum with a smaller attached crystal. Platinum crystals are much more rare than the nuggets and most are much more rounded than this one, in fact it was the sharpest, most well formed by far of a small lot of crystals I examined. It has stepped faces all around, well crystallized and undamaged. I understand these are no longer being found. Weighs 1.57 grams.

Uncommon and interesting Merelani specimen consisting of a 2.5cm terminated Tanzanite side-by-side with a 3cm Diopside, however the terminations are pointing in opposite directions. Never seen one like this before.
