Rare specimen of pink Manganoan Calcite on
matrix!
This specimen comes from an old Iron mine located in Wisconsin which has been closed for
nearly
50 years now. It is the largest specimen of Manganoan Calcite I've seen from this locality
in years
and the best in terms of formation and size of the individual rhombs. The main rhomb in
the foreground
measures 8 cm in size and is accompanied by a 6.5 cm rhomb along the back side. I almost
never encounter
specimens of this size and quality from the Montreal Mine so this is a rare opportunity to
say the least. In
excellent condition overall with trivial contacts, strong dazzling luster, good color, and
well trimmed edges.
From the Montreal Mine, Montreal, Gogebic Range, Iron County,
Wisconsin.
Measurements - 12.6 cm by 8.7 cm by 6.8 cm in total size (cabinet size).

Exceptional specimen of Walworth Fluorite
with Calcite on Dolomite lined matrix!
This amazing Fluorite specimen was offered to me during the Westward Show and gathered
quite a crowd
when others saw it. The Fluorite is an elongated cube measuring nearly 4 cm in length! It
is completely
pristine with a gemmy blue interior, glassy faces, and modified corners (typical of
Walworth crystals).
To top it all off, there is also an internal rainbow which is probably caused by a
transparent inclusion
of Selenite near the left corner. The above photograph shows part of the rainbow and it
grows more
intense as the specimen is rotated. I can count the number of great Walworth Fluorites
I've seen on just
two hands and this is both the finest and largest of them all. A rare opportunity for the
Fluorite collector!
From the Walworth Quarry, Walworth, Wayne County, New York.
Measurements - 6 cm by 6.1 cm by 6.2 cm in total size (miniature size).

Super glassy crystals of Azurite with Malachite
partially ps Azurite crystals!
Easily some of the finest Azurites to ever come to market, the Milpillas find has been one
for the books! These crystals display mind blowing luster and glow under direct lighting.
The terminations are complete and the contacts are very few and trivial. This is one of
the
things I always check for in a Milpillas specimen because so many have broken tips. The
largest crystal here is 2.4 cm in length and most average around 1.5 cm to 2 cm in length.
From the Electric Blue Pocket, Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Sonora,
Mexico.
Measurements - 6.6 cm by 4.7 cm by 2 cm in total size (miniature)

Super aesthetic combination of Schorl
Tourmaline on Quartz with Fluorite crystals!
A great looking combo piece featuring a 4.3 cm, doubly terminated, lustrous Schorl crystal
sitting upright atop a bed of slightly smoky Quartz crystals. Accompanying the Schorl are
crystals of lavender Fluorite with purple accents. In excellent condition with no
detractions.
From the Erongo Mountain, Erongo Region, Namibia.
Measurements - 7 cm by 6.7 cm by 3.1 cm in total size (miniature sized).
Price $895

Bi-colored specimen of Wardite crystals on
matrix!
A unique looking specimen, there's obviously some sort of Hematite coloration
going on here that created this two-toned appearance and it's really neat. The crystals
are sharp and glassy with very good luster. In excellent condition with barely a contact.
From Rapid Creek, Dawson Mining District, Yukon, Canada.
Measurements - 3.4 cm by 4.6 cm by 3.1 cm in total size (small miniature).
Price $385
