Fine quality, complete pseudomorph of Limonite after Pyrite. Striations on the surface from the original Pyrite are evident. From the Judy & Chris Cook pseudomorph collection.

A 1.5cm red Almandine crystal in Rhyolite. Fine old piece from the Chuck Trantham collection and much better than average.

Tall, snow-white crystals of Stilbite with Mordenite, complete and well crystallized all around. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection, self collected by Chuck decades ago during his time working as a geologist during construction of the dam.

Large translucent brown Pargasite crystals associated with blue Spinel. A superb California specimen, it was the best Pargasite (that I saw) from the Chuck Trantham collection, and there is nothing comparable to it on Mindat. The Pargasites are well formed and reach 2.1cm in size, with a band of blue Spinel (including crystals to 4mm) along the bottom, adding good color contrast. Chuck valued this at $750 back in 1983, significantly more than others in his collection that I saw, indicating he too rated this one highly. His label shows a locality of 'Locality No. 2, Twin Lakes area, near Lake Shore, Fresno Co., California' and indicates it was collected in August of 1983.

Cluster of thick, chisel-terminated Brochantite crystals with individual crystals to 8mm tall.

Cluster of transparent, double-termianted Clinozoisite crystals. Complete all around. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.

Exquisite, glassy purple Amethyst crystals attached to a small bit of Epidote covered matrix. Main crystal is double-terminated. Undamaged. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.

Large and impressive specimen of Clinoclase from the now defunct Majuba Hill Mine. Deep blue, lustrous crystals with a style typical of the Copper Stope cover much of the front display face. Sawcut on back and base. This is the largest, richest good Clinoclase I've seen from Majuba.

Large 1.8cm Almandine crystal on pink Rhyolite. An especially good example for this occurrence, probably the best I've seen. Undamaged.

Intergrown group of lemon yellow Ettringite crystals. Main crystal is double-terminated and thick at 1.7 x 1.5 cm. There is also a small metallic black tabular crystal sticking out one side, possibly Hematite.

Translucent blue Afghanite crystals in a Calcite and Pyrite rich matrix. 

Platy crystal group of deep pink Rhodonite. Good large crystals from a 1989 find.
