Well terminated 2.8cm blue Tourmaline crystal wreathed in bladed Albite along with a glassy Quartz crystal. The Indicolite has it's best color and transparency at the top, right where it counts the most. Undamaged and great composition.

Specimen composed of densely grouped crystals of yellow/green Pyromorphite (nothing but crystals without matrix). Good colored, large Pyromorphites are rare from England. Some information on the locality from MINDAT: 'This property is adjacent to the Roughton Gill mine and exploits the eastward extension of the Roughton Gill (South) vein. It was begun in 1845, and three crosscuts were driven south to cut the vein. Although promising shoots of pyromorphite and cerussite were found early on, the mine proved to be a financial disaster. In the mid-1970's the Cornish mineral dealer Richard Barstow opened a vein exposure near the High Level of the Mexico mine and made a find of excellent pyromorphite of "old time" quality. The locality was subsequently worked by other collectors and further good material was discovered. The site is now backfilled.'

Prismatic single Bastnasite crystal. Translucent to transparent with a rich golden brown color. Zagi Mountain Basnasites are by far the world's best, it's basically a one locality mineral and they won't last forever. 

V-twin crystal of color change Diaspore. From new finds in the mountains near Milas, these new Diaspore crystals are spectacular in color and form. Glassy, flat termination faces on both 'arms'. Good V form, complete and undamaged with just a tiny contact near the bottom tip. Gem quality and transparent inside. Medium purple color in natural sunlight. In all my years of mineral dealing I've never seen Diaspore this good, they transcend any previous Diospore I've seen and won't last forever.

Large specimen loaded with red Wulfenite crystals (top Red Cloud color) with individual crystals to over 2cm. The majority of these have a more orange color, sometimes with white coatings, and are paper thin. This one has great color, no white coatings, and robust crystals - a very good one for the locality! A very good example from this find, specimens from which were previously labelled as coming from the "Kurutag Mountains'.

Botryoidal, satiny yellow Mimetite with the best color for the locality. This is old material rarely seen now in this quality (no damage, top color). Very few have this color. It's almost solid Mimetite with a few Calcite crystals intergrown at the bottom. Pristine and undamaged.

Transparent blue/green double-terminated Vivianite crystal with attached radial crystals of Siderite. Complete all around and undamaged. This one has it all - great color, transparency, and double-terminated form which is uncommon.

Beautiful and glassy large magenta Roselite crystals lining a shallow vug. Robust crystals to 8mm in size that are lustrous and transparent. The color and quality of this specimen will light up and energize any mineral display.

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.
