MIN#TUCSON2019-2 NEW!

Exceptional combination of Aquamarine with a large reddish-pink Fluorite on Muscovite!
I almost never see quality Aqua-Fluorites from Pakistan on the market anymore. The really
good Fluorites came out years ago and have long since disappeared into private collections.
I was thrilled to see this piece at the Show and the combination of Aquamarine and Fluorite,
both exhibiting strong color, is rare. The Fluorites measures right at 3.3 cm in size and has
a rich color to go along with the typical irregular and modified surfaces. It sits atop the right
side, separated by and equally well colored Aquaamrine crystal by an Aquamarine covered
ridge of Muscovite. The Aquamarine is rehealed along the bottom and the piece is pristine.
Locality: Chumar Bakhoor, Hunza Valley, Gilgit District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
Measures: 8 cm by 6.3 cm by 6.2 cm in total size.
Price $9500

MIN#TUCSON2019-3 NEW!

Gorgeous gemmy green-tipped Elbaite crystals perched atop white Cleavelandite blades!

lustrous striations atop yellowish-green to dark olive green to gemmy green interiors. Great aesthetics!
Locality: Stak Nala, Haramosh Mtns., Baltistan, Northern Areas of Pakistan.
Measures: 4.5 cm by 8 cm by 3.6 cm in total size.

MIN#TUCSON2019-19 NEW!

Gorgeous specimen featuring elongated Wulfenite crystals surrounded by Green Mimetite and white Calcites!
These appeared last decade and quickly disappeared into private collections. They are as beautiful as they are interesting.
The orange on green color combination is incredible but the different crystal habits is just as eye catching I think. This specimen
in particular, features a 1.8 cm pyramidal Wulfenite crystal! The green botryoidal Mimetite is satiny lustrous and appears in a
cluster near the center and as isolated nodules scattered about the exterior. In excellent condition with incredible eye appeal.
Locality: Level 6, San Juan Poniente Vein, Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mun. de Mapimí, Durango, Mexico.
Measures: 7.3 cm by 7.4 cm by 3.6 cm in total size.
Price $1500

MIN#TUCSON2019-20 NEW!

Brilliant cluster of micro-crystalline Azurite!
This is a large cluster which is formed from many dozens of flashy, lustrous Azurite clusters.
Locality: Los Olivos Mine, Municipio Valle de Rosario, Mun. de Rosario, Chihuahua, Mexico.
Measures: 9.7 cm by 9.3 cm by 3 cm in total size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled display stand
Price $1650

MIN#TUCSON2019-23 NEW!

Sharp, translucent blue crystals of Azurite isolated atop Malachite accented matrix!
These crystals display mind blowing luster and glow a deep vibrant blue 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
placement atop whitish matrix imparts stark contrast and really makes the crystals stand out.
Locality: Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Sonora, Mexico.
Measures: 7 cm by 5 cm by 3.2 cm in total size.
Comes with a custom made, engraved display stand
Price $4850

MIN#TUCSON2019-25 NEW!

Gemmy green octahedrons of Fluorite surrounded by Quartz crystals and drusy accenting!
An incredible cabinet plate that is stunning to look at. The green Fluorite is an intense, deep green,
closely along the lines of an emerald-green. The crystals are very glassy and lustrous and all are
octahedral in habit. The largest along the upper left edge measures nearly 5 cm in size! In excellent
condition with barely a contact. A sparkling, sugary drusy of Quartz and crystals frames the piece.
From Riemvasmaak, Kakamas District, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
Measures 12 cm by 12 cm by 3.8 cm in total size.
Ex. L. Baria Mineral Collection
Price $2450
