Translucent, bright yellow Barite crystals over an earlier generation of white Barite. Well crystallized on both sides with strong, saturated yellow color and in great condition overall. These old German Barites are uncommon to find now. Comes with a number of old labels including the Lesnicks, the William Hiss collection, and Kristalle. A John Durkos label indicates it was purchased from the Lesnicks at the 1981 Franklin mineral show.

Large specimen of solid, intergrown Eosphorite crystals. The smaller terminated crystals on the front reach 2cm in size, and there are etched, partial crystals of Brazilianite on the back. These are huge crystals for the species, which are most commonly seen as tiny 1cm or so crystals on Rose Quartz. Collected by well known mineraologist Dick Gaines, likely in the late 1960s to early 1970s, a true connoisseurs specimen.

Colorful, well crystallized specimen composed of white Calcite covered by orange Wulfenite partially covered by red Vanadinite. The Wulfenite are bright and lustrous with crystals mostly in 3-5mm size range with some crystals up to 1cm. Big and showy, loaded with crystals all over, including the back which is mostly white Calcite crystals. Comes with an old Lidstroms label.

Cluster of large, scalenohedral Calcite crystals. These are beautiful, shimmering and transparent, some with the transparent crystals over a more translucent earlier generation of Calcite. Except for a tiny cleave on one tip, the entire cluster is complete all around and undamaged. Much better than photos!! A real jewel of  a specimen.

Veszelyite from ANYWHERE are rare and desireable. This recently mined specimen features a sharp 7mm crystal of vivid blue Veszelyite crystal on matrix. This is from a new find made in July 2020 at an old Zinc mine located about about 400 kilometers away from previous Veszelyite finds made at the Laochang Mine (also in Yunnan Prov.).

Veszelyite from ANYWHERE are rare and desireable. This recently mined specimen features a number of crystal groups of vivid blue Veszelyite to 7mm in size on matrix. This is from a new find made in July 2020 at an old Zinc mine located about about 400 kilometers away from previous Veszelyite finds made at the Laochang Mine (also in Yunnan Prov.).

Beautiful large specimen of Dioptase on drusy Quartz over Chrysocolla and Malachite. This looks like something out of Africa rather than the USA, but it's old Arizona material with large isolated Dioptase crystals to 7mm in size. A big and colorful Arizona classic that will add pop to a mineral case.

Well defined, spikey 'spear point' Descloizite crystals covering a thin matrix. The central star cluster displays crystals sticking out in all directions and rainbow iridescence. Undamaged with much more character than most.

Mounds of satiny pink Smithsonite from Choix. A beautiful uniform pink color with areas more purple near the top. Bi-color Smithsonite from this locality is uncommon. Undamaged with great sparkling luster.

Colorful specimen of drusy Dioptase over translucent Chrysocolla atop a black matrix. Old Arizona classic that is now hard to come by. Pristine.

Long, feathery crystal cluster of white Barite. A floater with no points of attachment. Elegant and beautiful specimen. A natural work of art.

Superb quality, lustrous Olivenite crystals grown atop the tips of milky white Quartz crystals. Individual Olivenite crystals reach 5mm in size. Rare, old time material seldom seen available for sale.

Glassy white to purple Adamite crystals densely covering a small bit of matrix (it appears to be about 95% solid Adamite). Uncommon in color and form, with many flat lying, double-terminated crystals, the largest 2cm in size. Glassy, lustrous crystals, many transparent terminations. Pristine. Out of the thousands of Mapimi Adamites out there, this one is a rarity. Much better than photos.
