Terminated Topaz crystals on Rhyolite. the Topaz have flat terminations and are more red at the terminations and more transparent towards the middle and base. Aesthetic, undamaged example. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.

Superb Prehnite specimen from recent finds at the Merelani Tanzanite mines. Striking specimen with large individual crystals. A thicker, highly translucent cluster is at the top with more toothy, individual crystals sticking out the front faces. The color ranges from a pure yellow to a yellow/green and slightly blueish. The lower left has an attached patch of intergrown micro Prehnite, Graphite and Pyrite. Undamaged, showy, and good sized.

Double-terminated, pastel green Tourmaline crystal with smaller attached crystals tapering out from the main crystal. Translucent to transparent with light pink zones. Undamaged and weighs 21.44 grams.

Well formed, translucent octahedrons of blue Spinel to 5mm in size. Sawcut on back. Collected by Chuck Trantham and Al McGuinness in 1986. Rare California specimen. Chuck's label indicates locality as 'Locality 2, Twin Lakes area, Fresno Co., California, USA'.

Glassy and lustrous complete single Grossular crystal. Undamaged with a couple small indentation where other crystals were formerly attached. It's mostly a translucent gold color with some areas that are whitish/green and opaque. From the type locality for the species.

Undamaged, sharp single Axinite crystal. Purple and transparent, complete all around.

Cubic, stepped crystal cluster of Acanthite, a Silver sulfide mineral famous from this mine. Undamaged and complete all around. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.

Large, blocky single Whiteite crystal with a smaller crystal intergrown. Complete all around and undamaged. This is the best locality for this rare species and this is an excellent, large example. Ex. Bob Reynolds collection.

Rare spherical cluster of Vauxite crystals. Vauxite group is 2.4cm in diameter.

1.4cm crystal of Ludlamite on matrix with Siderite. Aesthtics and quality are superb, undamaged.

Large single Azurite crystal with Malachite and smaller attached Azurite crystals. Superb electric blue coloration and wet luster. The frontside has a couple rows of tiny Azurites attached, and the backside has a single larger Azurite coming out the face. This grew straight out from the pocket wall giving such beautiful 360 degree viewing. There is a natural notch along the top edge and there appears to be a little damage right in the notch. Otherwise this is perfect and even stands up on it's own.

Thick, blocky Azurite crystal displaying a bright 'electric' blue coloration under lighting. There is one smal chip along the back edge, otherwise perfect. Ex. Carl Acosta collection.

Stunning single Elbaite crystal with attached books of bright purple Lepidolite. The Elbaite is 1.2cm wide with a classic bubble-gum pink color with a thin green zone at the termination, with good transparency.

Floater cluster of Dioptase crystals with attached spheres of Chrysocolla. 'Dioptase-man' or 'Gumby'? Bright and very transparent.

Double terminated clear Quartz crystal with inclusions of purple Fluorite crystals. These were found one time perhaps 10 years ago and have not been found since. I count 5 included Fluorite crystals plus some neat negative crystals where the Fluorite dissolved away. A couple tiny edge chips but basically undamaged.  A now hard to find rarity!
