Glassy transparent Tourmaline crystal from recent finds in the Congo. The color from the side appears as green over pink, but there is also a yellow color at the termination that makes this one really interesting and uncommon. The shape of the termination is also fantastic. Note that this one is directly from a miner and has not been to a cleaning lab and could likely be improved. Undamaged and weighs 20.84 grams.

Botryoidal Malachite on matrix. Very attractive and atypical to have the malachite well centered on matrix such as this one, 7 x 7 x 5 cm.

Sparkling sky blue Hemimorphite from Mfouati. A thick mound-shaped layer of beautiful translucent Hemimorphite to 1.5cm thick. The top surface sparkles and I love the stalactitic growths. Beautiful color!

A pair of highly lustrous Carrollite crystals attached to the face of a Calcite rhomb. Largest crystal is 1.1cm.

Dark olive green Kolwezite pseudomorphs after Cuprite atop rhombs of pink Cobaltoan Calcite (or possibly Cobaltoan Dolomite) creating a stunning mixture of colors and forms. There are a few clusters of an earlier generation of botryoidal Kolwezite but the majority are angular crystals of the pseudomorphs. Kolwezite is a Copper Cobalt Carbonate Hydroxide and this is the type locality for the species. A beautiful large display piece and combination specimen of two desireable species together.

Vug filled with botryoidal blue Hemimorphite with attached crystals of Cerussite. The Hemimorphite is a beautiful translucent blue color!

Cluster of 5 mirror lustrous Carrollite crystals, and one Chalcopyrite crystal, in a cluster on white Calcite. Largest crystal is 1.1 cm wide.

Crystals of vivid pink Cobaltian Calcite crystals from the famous Mashamba West Mine. Exceptional color and large rhombic crystals to 2cm wide.

Sparkling sky blue Hemimorphite on matrix. The top surface sparkles and the color is just gorgeous.

Sparkling blue/green Smithsonite and layers of Aurichalcite on matrix. The top surface sparkles and the color is just gorgeous.

Exceedingly large single pink Cobaltian Calcite crystal from the Congo. This is a complete scalenohedral crystal that is partially doubly terminated along the bottom. Translucent and undamaged with green Kolwezite adding color contrast. This is the largest single Cobaltian Calcite I've ever seen from the locality. Last photo is backlit.

Glassy pink and green Tourmaline crystal from recent finds in the Congo. The Tourmaline is a glassy pink with a bright green termination. Good transparency and in excellent condition, even the base has been rehealed. This is a crystal from early production at the locality that I obtained in a trade. It weighs 52.04 grams. Good, larger sized Congo Tourmaline typically sells for about $300/gram, but because it is an older piece obtained in a trade I'm able to sell it here at about $150/gram.

Single translucent Diamond crystal from the Congo. The Diamond is a cube that in somewhat flattened in one direction, forming a parallelogram shape. Complete all around and undamaged. Weighs 3.41 carats.

Scalenohedral pink Cobaltian Calcite crystals covering the front face associated with rounded masses of Kolwezite. Ex. Cliff Krueger, Chuck Trantham collections.

Cuprite crystals to 1.9cm on a flat Chrysocolla covered matrix. These came out years ago and are among my favorite Cuprite specimens as the Chrysocolla really sets off the Cuprite crystals. Main crystal is sharp with just slight edge chipping in one area. There are also many more crystals present (can be seen along edges) that are completely covered by the Chrysocolla and could be exposed. Areas of fibrous Malachite crystals enhance the look.

Sparkling sky blue Hemimorphite from Mfouati. Beautiful translucent Hemimorphite on matrix. The top surface sparkles and it has a good overall shape.

Sparkling blue/green Smithsonite and layers of Aurichalcite on matrix. The top surface sparkles and the color is just gorgeous.

Well saturated purple pink crystals of Cobaltian Calcitewith crystals to 1cm in size. Undamaged and sawcut on back. Old material from the Chuck Trantham collection.

Crystals of vivid pink Cobaltoan Calcite on matrix. The specimen has a mixture of smaller, lighter pink crystals and larger rhombic crystals to 6mm with a deeper pink coloration. Large and colorful Congo classic.

Sharp, isolated crystals of translucent Veszelyite spinkled across the surface of velvety sky blue Plancheite. This is an old specimen, likely from the 80s or 90s, that I've owned for about 25 years. The Velzelyite form sharp, distinct individual crystals to 3mm in size. There is an old collection number painted on the bottom that was there when I bought it.

Dark olive green botryoidal Kolwezite atop rhombs of vivid pink Cobaltoan Calcite (or possibly Cobaltoan Dolomite) creating a stunning mixture of colors and forms. The Kolwezite is partially coated by bright green Malachite in areas. Kolwezite is a Copper Cobalt Carbonate Hydroxide and this is the type locality for the species. Highly colorful and beautiful large display piece.

Sparkling deep blue Hemimorphite on matrix. The top surface sparkles and there is good Hemimorphite on both sides.

Cluster of solid Dioptase crystals without matrix. Good crystals all over, front and back, top to bottom.

Botryoidal blue Hemimorphite with attached crystals of Cerussite and Malachite. Colorful specimen!

Bladed crystal groups of green Malachite atop bright pink Cobaltoan Calcite. There are smaller deep emerald green crystal groups atop the bladed Malachite.
