Outstanding cluster of translucent Sulfur crystals to 3.5cm grown around a central core of white Aragonite. Talk about a great crystal to matrix ratio - this one is visually stunning with large bright yellow crystals. The crystal on the upper right is damaged on the back side where it contacted/came off matrix, the rest of the crystals are perfect and complete all around. Comes with an old Bideaux Minerals label.

Transparent green crystals to Fluorite to 3.5cm on matrix. These are often found as solid masses of Fluorite crystals without matrix and this one is uncommon for the well isolated crystals on matrix. A beautiful large and showy specimen in great condition. An older piece, I have owned this specimen for about 20 years.

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.

Cluster of large, scalenohedral Calcite crystals. These are beautiful, shimmering and transparent, some with the transparent crystals over a more translucent earlier generation of Calcite. Except for a tiny cleave on one tip, the entire cluster is complete all around and undamaged. Much better than photos!! A real jewel of  a specimen.

Floater crystal group of Acanthite showing solution etching and areas of Silver wires. Complete all around and undamaged. Grab one of these while you can as this find is over, no more are coming out.

Veszelyite from ANYWHERE are rare and desireable. This recently mined specimen features a number of fan-shaped crystal groups of vivid blue Veszelyite to 9mm in size on matrix. This is from a new find made in July 2020 at an old Zinc mine located about about 400 kilometers away from previous Veszelyite finds made at the Laochang Mine (also in Yunnan Prov.).

Cluster of Red Cloud Wulfenite with crystals to 1.7cm. The crystals are glassy with areas of transparency and the great color that made this mine famous.

A robust 2.3cm Rutile crystal in Pyrophyllite with other smaller Rutile crystals. Collected long ago from the now closed Champion Mine in the remote White Mountains of California. The main crystal is thick and undamaged, dark with hints of red coloration, and especially sharp for the locality.

A single compound Barite crystal, 7.7 x 3.2cm, rising up through two piece of matrix like Excalibur. The crystal is brilliantly lustrous, complete and undamaged. The specimen is a floater that detached from the pocket wall - while the bottom is not as lustrous as the top termination, it is recrystallized.  Good sized for the locality, an American classic.

Well defined, spikey 'spear point' Descloizite crystals covering a thin matrix. The central star cluster displays crystals sticking out in all directions and rainbow iridescence. Undamaged with much more character than most.
