Awesome combination featuring Hematite
crystals with Andradite Garnet and Calcite!
The two largest Hematite crystals criss-cross at the center and both are super lustrous
and doubly
terminated! They are accented by reddish Andradite Garnets, with some actually embedded
inside
the Hematites, indicating that the Hematites grew around the Garnets and completed their
crystal
forms. There is barely a contact anywhere - Only a few incomplete Garnet crystals near the
bottom.

Impressive miniature featuring sharp
crystals of Malachite ps after Azurite with Duftite!
I was taken by this specimen and the sharpness of
its undamaged crystals which measure
to 2.3 cm in size. They rise vertically at the bottom before criss-crossing at the
top. The
surfaces of each crystal are in excellent condition with a soft chatoyant luster due to
the
alteration to Malachite from Azurite. Azurite is still present with Duftite at the edges.

Unique specimen featuring flat Sulfur
crystals on sparkling drusy Quartz!
These appeared over a decade ago and I haven't seen
any since. The initial find must of been
quite small. This was one of the largest plates I could find when they first appeared from
China.
The Sulfur crystals are somewhat flat with shiny, glassy surfaces. Interesting and
attractive.

Lustrous, terminated crystals of

Canary-yellow crystals of Cerussite
atop matrix!
There are well over a dozen glassy crystals here.
All are terminated and all exhibit a brilliant yellow
coloration. For a locality better known for its Pyromorphite, Cerussite specimens are not

disappeared
from the market very quickly. The crystals stand upright on the matrix and exhibit a fine
waxy luster.
