Stunningly beautiful cluster of Tourmaline var. Indicolite crystals rising up from a bed of Lepidolite on Albite matrix!
This incredible large centerpiece boasts numerous brilliant, gemmy blue Tourmalines rising up from a bed of purple
Lepidolite and white Albite. Each Indicolite crystal displays a dazzling luster which flows up and down the striated
surfaces in an almost blinding manner. Almost every termination is intact and the repairs were expertly done and
are nearly invisible. I don't find many Tourmaline specimens that grab my attention but this one checked all the
boxes I look for. The largest Indicolite crystal standing at top measures 10.5 cm in length. In excellent condition.
Locality: Pederneira Mine (Pederneira Claim), São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Measures: 16.3 cm by 10.2 cm by 15 cm in total size.
Price $34,500

Exquisite specimen featuring a lustrous Andorite crystal perched atop Pyrite studded matrix!
This would have to rate as the finest matrix Andorite specimen I've ever seen or offered on the
website! Andorite is a rare Silver-Lead-Antimony Sulfosalt and this locality is renowned for what
are probably the finest examples in the world. For all of the fine, lustrous, striated blades of Andorite
out there, very few come perched atop a matrix covered with sparkling Pyrite. Unbelievable specimen
to say the least and one that is in pretty much pristine condition with no contacts or edge chipping.
Locality: San José Mine, Oruro City, Cercado Province, Oruro, Bolivia.
Measures: 6.1 cm by 6 cm by 4.7 cm in total size.
Price $9500

RARE specimen featuring crystals of Aguilarite on Acanthite with Amethyst Quartz!
This lovely specimen features a base of Acanthite ps after Argentite crystals which is topped by
hoppered crystals of Aquilarite. The stepped crystal interiors are quite visible and contrast perfectly
with the Acanthite crystals below. Aquilarite is a rare Selenide-Sulfide and this is the first example
I've offered on the website. It's incredibly aesthetic and the Amethyst Quartz at the top is the perfect
"cherry" for this amazing Silver combo. Amethyst is also indicative of the La Sirena Mine locality.
Locality: La Sirena Mine, Guanajuato, Guanajuato Municipality, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Measures: 5.1 cm by 3.2 cm by 2.3 cm in total size.

Absolutely gorgeous and quite impressive Polybasite and Acanthite atop a Quartz crystal cluster!
This lovely specimen would catch the eye of most collectors, especially those who love Silvers. Large
blades of lustrous Polybasite rise upwards along with Acanthite cubes atop a bed of snowy-white Quartz
crystals. This very 3-dimensional display is further highlighted by tiny Quartz micro-crystals which add
sparkle to the tops of the Silver minerals. A dazzling display with no detractions or damage to speak of.
Locality: Fresnillo de González Echeverría (Fresnillo), Fresnillo Municipality, Zacatecas, Mexico.
Measures: 7.2 cm by 8 cm by 7.7 cm in total size.
Price $4850
