Exceptional plate of isolated Grossular var. Hessonite Garnets on white matrix!
Specimens of this quality are found so rarely that I purchase them the second I see them.
Not only does this specimen have huge Hessonites (the largest is nearly 1.5 cm in size)
but they are also incredibly gemmy and flashy with a natural faceting and the deepest color
imaginable! The white background is perfect for bringing out the rich color and that's why
it's the best matrix one can find from the Jeffrey Quarry. The addition of the dark bronze
Muscovites crystals adds even more contrast and draws the eye towards the white surface.
Locality: Jeffrey Quarry, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada.
Measures: 6.8 cm by 7.8 cm by 5 cm in total size.
Price $9500

Exceptional, large, and gemmy crystal of bright yellow Spodumene var. Triphane on Smoky Quartz with Albite!
This is a unbelievable pristine crystal which is literally like yellow glass. It is that transparent and clear! The
Triphane crystal measures over 8 cm in length and has a good width of 2.2 cm. It is super lustrous and lights
up with a color that glows from end to end when given a direct light source. The termination is textbook
perfect and there are no contacts along its length. It rises upwards from between Smoky Quartz crystals
and white Albite. This is one of the finest Spodumene combo specimens I've ever seen. A true masterpiece!
Locality: Dara-i-Pech District (Pech District), Konar Province (Nuristan), Afghanistan.
Measures: 12 cm by 8.2 cm by 7.8 cm in total size.
Price $15,000

Dramatic sprays of elongated Beryl var. Goshenite crystals with Schorl on Smoky Quartz!
This specimen caught my eye at first glance and it is one of the most aesthetic Goshenites I've
seen from any locality. All the crystals are fully terminated with the largest Goshenite near the
center displaying a contact termination. The contrast between the white Beryls at top and the black
Schorl Tourmalines along the bottom and the brown Smoky Quartz is amazing. Displays beautifully.
Locality: Erongo Mountains, Karibib, Erongo Region, Namibia.
Measures: 10 cm by 9.5 cm by 6.1 cm in total size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled display base
Price $8500
