Exceptional large cabinet plate of Amethyst crystals on a unique looking brown matrix!
Believe it or not, it was the matrix that first attracted my attention when I came across this very
impressive large plate at the show. It looked like the cracked clay bed of a dry river bottom and it
was covered with a sparkling druse. I've not another another matrix like it from Piedra Parada and
the large Amethyst crystals that sit atop are absolutely perfect and pristine. They are fully terminated
with gemmy interiors and a glowing purple coloration. The largest crystal is doubly terminated and lays
horizontally to the matrix. It measures 5.5 cm in length. The other Amethyst crystals vary in size and rise
vertically atop the dazzling surface. This is one of my favorites from the show. It's a superb display piece.

LARGE CABINET specimen of Native Silver in metallic matrix with Safflorrite!
This specimen is very heavy and incredibly rich. It could have easily been part of the famous "Silver Sidewalk" considering
the size of the Silver seam but fortunately it was preserved for posterity as a specimen. A large seam of gleaming Native
Silver can be seen extending down the top half of the matrix and popping out of the narrow openings along the bottom half.
A sparkling coating of Safflorite is visible atop the bottom portion, forming roundish clusters alongside the Silver. The
matrix is a grey metallic mass that appears to be Arsenopyrite with possibly some Galena and Nickeline in the mix.
This is a classic specimen of Silver from a classic mining locality that dates back to the early 1900's. It's also one of the

Exceptional specimen of brown Pyromorphite crystals atop Quartz matrix!
This is one of the finest of these specimens I've ever offered and most definately the heaviest
in terms of crystal coverage. Dozens of terminated and doubly terminated crystals cover the white
Quartz from top to bottom and there's barely a contact anywhere. The hexagonal crystals are glassy
lustrous and flashy and the entire specimen has a wonderful presentation. In excellent condition.

Super lustrous and glassy large Topaz crystal from Colorado!
I don't see too many of these crystals available for sale in the marketplace and this one came from an
European collection I think. It's a big crystal with a wonderful termination and incredible surface luster
rolling up and down the striated surfaces. The color is a light sea-green and the crystal interiors are quite
brilliant. The Topaz is in great shape with some of the normal matrix influence along the bottom of the back
side and some light etched near the base. If you're looking for a large, impressive Colorado Topaz, this is it!
