Large cluster of transparent to translucent Fluorite cubes from the Minerva Mine. The Fluorite is yellow with thin outer layers of purple and has both attached and included crystals of Chalcopyrite. Clean and in excellent condition with small crystals on the backside too.

Amazing floater cluster in a cross-shaped formation composed entirely of double-terminated Quartz crystals. This stunning piece is complete all around and surprizingly undamaged for it's size and with so many different points sticking out in all directions. Individual Quartz crystals reach 14.5cm long. WAY better in person.

Hard to find old Ludlamite specimen from the classic USA locality of the Blackbird Mine. Crystals are translucent green, reach 1cm in size, and present in a Quartz lined vug. Old material no longer being found.

Glassy, gemmy Cerussite crystals atop Calcite crystals partially coated by green Duftite. The Cerussite are very bright and lustrous and reach 1.8cm wide. Well crystallized all around, it's nearly a floater with just one small point of contact on back.

Lustrous and sparkling fan-shaped aggregates of Adamite crystals on Limonite. The Adamite are clean and undamaged and additional smaller single crystals add to it's appeal.

Hard to find old Bisbee specimen composed of a cup-shaped formation of botryoidal Malachite. No matrix, just solid bright, dense Malachite in great condition.

Glassy and gemmy Brazilianite crystal from the Telerio Mine in Brazil. This is a doubly-terminated crystal in perfect condition with just one slight indentation on one edge where it grew upon Albite. Ex. Len Pisciotta collection. Len hunted for doubly-terminated Brazilianites for years and this is one of a small sub-collection he assembled.

Terminated single crystal of Tremolite with a brilliant deep green coloration. When they found (which is not often), most are mere shards and well terminated crystals such as this are much less common.

Glassy and gemmy Brazilianite crystal from the Telerio Mine in Brazil. This is a doubly-terminated crystal in perfect condition. A floater with a few smaller attached crystals and Albite. Ex. Len Pisciotta collection. Len hunted for doubly-terminated Brazilianites for years and this is one of a small sub-collection he assembled.

Well formed single Bastnasite crystal from the now famous Zagi Mountain locality in Pakistan.  The crystal is translucent rootbeer brown in color, complete all around and undamaged.

Silvery metallic crystals of Stibnite from the McLaughlin Mine (Manhattan Mine). A nice cluster from this lesser known, defunct locality. The McLaughlin Mine is a former Au-Ag-Pb-Hg-Sb mine discovered 1865 that operated until 1945.

Bright emerald green chromium rich Vesuvianite crystal. These bright chrome green crystals were always much less common than the yellows and purples that were found here.  This mine is long closed and there will likely be no more found.  A hard to find, undamaged crystal with great color.

Transparent blue Fluorite cubes and Aresenopyrte crystals grown among glassy clear Quartz crystals. This is an older piece (about 20 years) reecently acquired out of a collection and has a distinct and different appearance that more recent specimens from this mine. There are also a few small Ferberite crystals present.

Unusual specimen of Mottramite that is either covering Quartz crystals or pseudomorphed after Quartz crystals. There is Quartz at the base of the specimen, but when I look closely at the bottoms of the crystals at the edge, I can see no Quartz in the cores, which leads me to believe the Quartz has been pseudomorphed to Mottramite.

Crystal cluster of Tennanite after Azurite from Tsumeb. Elongated, primatic crystals of former Azurite that have been pseudomorphed to Tennantite. An undamaged cluster with individual crystals to 7cm in length. This piece was mined from the first oxidation zone of Tsumeb. This type of pseudomorph only occurred at Tsumeb, and then only rarely.

Classic large sized, complete and terminated 'watermelon' Tourmaline with a blue/green over red coloration. Slight chipping along termination edge, otherwise undamaged. Termination has a mirror bright luster, and but for the visible growth features you would swear it was polished. Weighs 21.7 grams.

Three perfect 'bow-tie' crystal groups of Stilbite rising up off the matrix. Stilbite bow-ties are usually found flat on the matrix and to have 3 isolated groups that stand up on end creates a striking specimen. Undamaged.

Rosette formations of Azurite from Bisbee. The main cluster on top is 4cm wide and well crystallized, with additional smaller clusters along the sides.

Large flat specimen of ironstone loaded with crystals of blue Lazulite, tan Siderite, and white Apatite. Most specimens from this locality (which is now closed) only have crystals of Lazulite and Siderite which make them darker in appearance. The numerous white Apatites lighten up this specimen, along with the well dispersed, isolated Lazulites. This was far and away the very best of a large lot of Lazulite  specimens I obtained during a trip to Canada 25 years ago. Colorful, high quality specimen, especially for such large size.

Fine miniature composed of a sharp, transparent purple crystal of Axinite atop transparent smokey Quartz crystals. The Axinite is 2.5cm wide, transparent, and perfect on both sides. Comes with an old Frazier's Minerals label.

Large and aesthetic specimen of Epidote crystals on a cluster of large Quartz crystals. The highlight of the specimen is the 10.5cm doubly terminated Quartz crystal set perfectly in the center of surrounding Quartz crystals, as if being held in an hand. There are a couple of tiny trivial nicks, otherwise all crystals complete and undamaged. It's even recrystallized all along the bottom.

Outstanding single globular Olmiite crystal on matrix. This is a specimen I bought from Clive Queit for $1000 about 15-20 years ago when the first came out and I've held it in my collection ever since. According to Clive it was one of the better single crystals recovered. Crystal is 2.5cm wide.

Disc-shaped pink Mangano Calcite crystals in two stacks. Each stack of crystals is at a different angle, so on the left you see the crystal tops and to the right you see a stack from the side. Large crystal on the left is 12cm wide. There are oriented inclusions of a dark needle-like mineral. Slight edge chipping but overall very clean and free of damage. This is a large and impressive display specimen.

Thick, deep forest green Brochantite crystals with high luster on matrix. This specimn is covered with a number of particularly stout crystals. These are thick, robust crystals from a 2014 find and are much different in style than earlier finds from the mine which were usually more fragile, hair-like crystals.

Double-terminated Calcite crystals that are heavily included by sand. A very clean, large example from this famous and now closed locality. Amazingly perfect for such a large and complex specimen, I could only find one crystal that had a contact. Easily the best example from this locality that I've ever had. Ex. Irv Brown.
