A mass of black Ferro Actinolite crystals and Calcite crystals form the matrix for two superb Titanite crystals. Easily the best specimen of a parcel I purchased earlier this year, with aesthetic arrangement of the two Titanites. Titanite are sharp and gemmy too. This is an uncommon locality that seldomly produces. .

Large single crystal of translucent green/yellow/brown coloration. Unusual form with an almost cup-like shape caused by the deep twinning groove and another intergrown smaller crystal. .

Blocky and lsutrous Albite forms the matrix for an attractive stack of Aquamarine crystals.The main Aqua rises from the Albite while a smaller Aqua stretches towards the main crystal from another Albite, with a smaller dwouble terminated Aqua connecting the two, tip to tip. Etched red Spessartine crystals provide color and contrast.


A291 - Elbaite on Quartz $ 300 (=~ ¥ 44513) SOLD

Color zoned Elbaite crystals to 3cm on a terminated Quartz crystal. The main Tourmaline has unusual color zoning - whereas most Tourmaline will be zoned either perpendicular to the C-axis or along the C-axis (such as 'watermelon' Tourmaline), this crystal has a strange and irregular shaped area without any color (achroite), the other end having typical pink coloration. Fine and undamaged.
