Double-terminated pink and green Tourmaline crystal with attached Lepidolite. The prism faces are perfect and complete all round. One termination is perfect and has some hollow/stepped growth, the other (pink) termination is flat and lustrous but has some edge chipping. Gemmy with good color and weighs 28.7 grams.

Water clear Selenite crystals on matrix. These always stun due to their perfect, pure look. Sawcut on back and base. Ex. Roberts Minerals specimen.

Robust, high quality Datolite from Petterson. Complete all around classic making a great thumbnail. These were found long ago and are now hard to come by. 

Old speciemn of Malachite pseudomorphs (presumably after Azurite) with areas of Turquoise. Seldom seen specimen that comes with two old labels, one 'the Masimer collectiion' and the other is the "Schneider's' of Poway, California.

Bright, translucent acicular Realgar crystals covering surfaces and filling vugs in matrix. Ex. Trantham collection #225 acquired in 1979 and valued at that time at $20.

White 'snowflake' Cerussite cluster 2.1cm wide, on matrix. Old material from the Chuck Trantham collection.

Well formed cluster of terminated, translucent Inderite crystals. Elegant, prismatic crystals with a thin coating of white Tincalconite in areas. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection #53. Though Chuck saw many of these, this was the one he decided to keep, for obvious reasons.

Specimen of Silver crystals from Batopilas. Not the typical 'herringbone' style for the locality, this is a dense mass of crystals, some showing platy, cubic crystals to 3mm. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.

Large, complete dodecahedral crystal of Chlorite after Garnet. There is an indentation on the back face, otherwise it has perfect flat faces all around. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection acquired from Dyck's Minerals in 1987.
