Exceptional specimen of Native Wire Silver with Calcite crystals from Schneeberg, Germany!
A true rarity with a structure that resembles Silvers from Freiberg but rarer with an association of Calcite crystals.
I can't recall seeing anything of this dramatic style from Schneeberg since most specimens from here tend to consist
of shorter, squatty wires. These study wires rise up from a base which features several Calcite crystals and a gray
accenting of Acanthite drusy. The aesthetics are superb and for a specimen in the small cab size range, very impressive.

Super glassy crystals of deep blue Azurite with green Malachite sprays on matrix!
This is a screamer of an Azurite specimen if you appreciate chisel-perfect and highly lustrous
Azurite crystals. I won't make the comparison of these Azurites with those of Milpillas because
the look is somewhat different but they are every bit as impressive to me. The largest of these
freestanding Azurite crystals measures 2 cm in size and they were obviously well protected by the
concave pocket in which they formed because all are pristine, save for a couple of small ones
that touched matrix. This is a specimen that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The picture is
good but the specimen itself is many times better in person. The crystal luster is mind blowing.

Amazing specimen featuring gemmy Golden Calcite crystals inside a fossilized clam shell (Mercenaria Permagna)!
These specimens formed from old clam shells which were buried many years ago, allowing the Calcium to transform
and grow into Calcite crystals over time. As the Calcite crystals grew, the Calcium was taken from the outer shell
which caused it to dissolve as the transformation took place. Specimens of this quality with complete crystals are rare.
