Complete single octahedral Diamond crystal. Undamaged with slightly modified edges and great glossy luster. There are some internal imperfections that saved it from being cut, but there are also large transparent zones. More colorless inside with light brownish color along the outer crystal edges. This is an old crystal that has been hoarded away for decades on offered here for the first time. Weighs 5.05 carats.

Tall, glassy Quartz gwindel. Slightly smokey in color, this is perhaps the best Paki gwindel I've seen, certainly the best I've owned. They don't turn up very often, and this is the only one I saw at the 2020 Tucson show. Tall, twisting form, it's undamaged and must have detached naturally from the pocket wall as the bottom is slightly rehealed.


M687 - Gold in Quartz $ 150 (=~ ¥ 22256) SOLD
Empire Mine, Grass Valley, Nevada Co., California, USA
small cabinet - 9 x 4 x 2.5 cm

Gold (along with Pyrite and Galena) in Quartz from the Empire Gold Mine. The Empire Mine is one of the oldest, largest, and richest gold mines in California. Between 1850 and its closure in 1956, the Empire Mine produced 5.8 million ounces of gold, extracted from 367 miles of underground passages. It is now a California State historic park. Specimen is sawcut on one side.

Superb bladed crystal group of Prehnite, yellow with a hint of the blue/green color characteristic of the 2019 finds. The front area showed blades of crystals surrounding an inner spherical group of Prehnite and the back shows parallel rows of bladed crystals.
