Beautiful and scarce locality combo featuring raspberry-colored Fluorite with Quartz crystals!
Super gemmy interiors and modified corners highlight this fine specimen and the ridge of lustrous
Quartz crystals are a tip off that this is a W. L. Davis-Deardorff Mine specimen. The color of the
Fluorites is a raspberry-pink and the clarity of the interiors is stunning. The specimen is in great shape
with modifications to almost all the corners and edges and the eye appeal is off the charts. There are
some small Sphalerites nestled between the flashy Quartz crystals and the base is also part Sphalerite.

Aesthetic specimen featuring a large Stilbite perched atop Apophyllite crystals!
The Stilbite "bow-tie" is the first thing that catches your eye and it is complete perfection.

The Apophyllite crystals which cover the host matrix are equally as lustrous and range from
transparent to slightly opaque near the base. The color contrast is great and contacts are few.

Gorgeous red scalenohedral crystals of Rhodochrosite on Manganite matrix!
Gemmy crystals with a scattering of drusy accenting atop some tips, this specimen is pure pizzazz!
I haven't offered many South African Rhodos over the years but this one caught my eye the moment
I saw it! The crystals are in excellent shape with full terminations and glassy faces that clearly show
the inner gemminess of each Rhodo! The drusy accents impart a brilliant sparkle to the Rhodochrosite
crystals while the dark Manganite matrix adds a deep contrast. In excellent condition with no detractions.
