Lustrous, clear Quartz crystals covering Malachite and bright pink Cobaltoan Calcite. It has a beautiful contrast in colors and a bright, attractive overall appearance. One of the best pieces from a small lot from several years ago and I've not seen this material again.

Large coral-like cluster of white Calcite from Bisbee, Arizona. Rounded, branching growths of opaque white Calcite that radiate out from the base and morph into translucent bladed Calcite crystals in areas. I've never had a specimen that looks more like a piece of coral than this! A beautiful, historic specimen from the Artem Kovalev collection.

Large single compound crystal of Pyromorphite from the Friedrichssegen Mine in Germany. The specimen has the classic form and color for the mine.  There are two missing crystals in the lower center area, otherwise in pristine condition all around. Comes with an old Gene Schlepp label.

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.

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.

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.

Glassy, large white Chabazite rhombs over matrix. The crystals are translucent to transparent and reach 1.2cm in size. Ex. Tim Sherburn collection.
