Curved yellow to yellow/green Pyromorphite crystal cluster set on a flat matrix. Complete all around and undamaged. This composition of a stand alone cluster complete all round is unusual when compared to most which are solid masses or drusy matrix coverings of crystals. Excellent piece that comes with an old Kristalle label.

Platy green crystals of Zeunerite from the Majuba Hill Mine in Nevada. Good green crystals on both sides of specimen. Ex. Erich Laskowski collection.

Crystals of brown Andradite on Orthoclase from Morocco. The main crystal is 1.2cm in size and pristine with neat overgrowths of greenish yellow. Steller undamaged specimen.

Crystals of brown Andradite on Orthoclase from Morocco. The main crystal is 1.3cm in size and pristine with neat overgrowths of greenish yellow. Displays very well.

Thick, lustrous, and complete Pyrargyrite from Fresnillo, Mexico.  A superb 'Ruby Silver' that lights up a bright cherry red when backlit. Undamaged specimen acquired from the Goerg Gebhard collection.

Large deep purple/red Almandine crystal in schist from Alaska. The crystal is 2.6cm wide and translucent in areas. There is some chipping on top and a small nick on the front left, but it is in overall good conditon and displays great.

Large, single Epidote crystal with impressive size from the Garnet Hill Mine in California.  Good sized crystal with an unusual satiny termination. This locality is best known for it's Andradite crystals but has also produced great Epidote crystals over the years - they are not transparent but have great form and large size. This crystal was mined in 2011.

Highly artistic and elegant cluster of transparent Quartz crystals from Peru. It's 'just' a Quartz specimen, but the quality and aesthetics are superb. The crystals are undamaged and transparent and it's also crystallized on the bottom! It detached from the pocket after initial growth, and the bottom of all the crystals are recrystallized.

Large, lustrous white and purple Adamite crystals. Purple Adamite crystals make some of the most rare and desirable specimens from Mapimi, and really from anywhere in the world. The crystals are undamaged and reach 3cm in length.

Exceptionally rich Cylindrite specimen composed almost entirely of spray formations of Cylindrite crystals. The only macro sized crystals of this cylindrical crystal habit in the mineral world. Cylindrite is a sulfosalt mineral containing tin, lead, antimony and iron. This specimen is loaded with crystals, essentially nothing but Cylindrite with Wurtzite present between the crystals. Good from all sides. Ex. Erich Laskowski collection.

Superb matrix specimen with two complete clusters of translucent Olmiite. This is a specimen I bought many years ago from Clive Quiet from the original find. Perfect and undamaged Olmiite clusters that look like a pair of gumdrops.

Glassy ocathedral Microlite on pink Tourmaline from Shengus. The Microlite is complete all around with stepped faces, 1.1cm wide. The Tourmaline are all terminated on each end.

Rare specimen of Gaudefroyite from the Kalahari manganese fields of South Africa.  Back when these were being found, they were most commonly seen as thinner, crusy crystals on matrix.  To find such thick Gaudefroyite crystals such as these on Manganite matrix were always rare, and even more so now. The crystals reach 13 x 7mm in size. Rare piece.

A vein of white Quartz up to 2.5cm thick running through a grey rock matrix. Gold is present throughout the Quartz but more concentrated in areas. Ex. Erich Laskowski collection, obtained by Erich back in 1987.

Fine, deep blue cluster of Azurite from the famous Chessy mines of France. These mines are long closed and this specimen was likely found in the 1800s. There are numerous attached crystals of Malachite that have pseudomorphed after Cuprite and a few areas where the Azurite has altered to Malachite.

Glassy purple Apatite crystals from the Panasquiera Mine in Portugal. The largest Apatite is 2.2cm tall, translucent to transparent, doubly-terminated, and pristine.

Beautiful and gemmy V-twin Chrysoberyl from Brazil. Good Chrysoberl specimens are always hard to find. This is a well terminated, complete and undamaged crystal. Ex. Tim Sherburn.

Tabular single Amblygonite crystal from Brazil. This is an old specimen from the Dr. Abraham Feinberg collection. It's a wonderful crystal, with good transparency and complete on all sides, though there is a chip on the termination. It can be displayed from one side without showing any damage. Nice old gem crystal that are now hard to find.

Terminated single Chrome Tourmaline crystal from a one time find at the Commander Mine in Tanzania.  Chrome Tourmaline is a chromium and vanadium rich Dravite. The crystal is complete all around with deep emerald green coloration in the upper half and a more olive green in the lower half - I saw a large percentage of the find and can say this is the top quality for the find. Fantastic color and highly gemmy. Undamaged. From a spectacular pocket opened in 2016. Weighs 2.9 grams

Cluster of Dioptase crystals from the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia. This is an old specimen from the Dr. Abraham Feinberg collection composed of nothing but lustrous Dioptase crystals, most showing areas of transparency. The best crystal is doubly-terminated and 1.5cm long.

Fine quality Vanadinite specimen loaded with red crystals to 2cm over a thin matrix, essentially nothing but crystals. Undamaged, which is difficult to find in a Vanadinite specimen of this size with so many crystals.  A real beauty, the pics say it all.

Transparent Calcite crystals on purple/yellow Fluorite from Hardin Co., Illinois. A stunning and colorful specimen, especially with backlighting. The Calcite crystals are transparent and the Fluorite are cubic and yellow with a purple outer layer. The specimen is clean and undamaged except for a cleave on one Calcite.

Elongated Tsavorite crystal group with attached Pyrite crystals from the Merelani Tanzanite mines in Tanzania. Twisting, towering stack of crystals with a distinct faden line. Excellent color Tsavorite that is glassy and well crystallized all around. This style of Tsavorite is unusual and only found over the course of one or two years.  It was a wonderful surprise from the Merelani mines. Complete and undamaged with the point of contact at the bottom of the stack. An amazing specimen!!!
