MIN#DENVER2007-221 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL! Huge Sulfur crystal on Celestite from Michigan!
I know I haven't seen a larger crystal from this locality. I've seen clusters which were larger
but this is a single, isolated 4.3 cm crystal of translucent Sulfur. The termination is complete too!
From the Maybee Quarry, Monroe County, Michigan.
Measures 7 cm by 5.1 cm in size.
Price $1450

MIN#DENVER2007-223 SOLD!

Large, gemmy crystal of vivid blue Kyanite!
I think the photo says it all! This is one incredible Kyanite specimen and one of
the most transparent that you will see anywhere. It's also free of detracting chips and exhibits
an almost "cats-eye" chatoyance. Kyanite crystals of this quality are anything but common.
From Barra de Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Measures 10.5 cm by 1.5 cm in size.
Ex. Cliff Vermont Collection
Comes with a custom made, labeled base and a Jeff Scovil slide.
Price $1850

MIN#DENVER2007-224 NEW!

Pretty cabinet plate featuring pink Rhodochrosite clusters on Quartz!
I see these specimens from time to time but this is the largest plate I've found
and it's also one of the richest in terms of Rhodochrosite coverage. Very nice!
From the Los Remedios Mine, Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico.
Measures 10.1 cm by 11.2 cm in size.
Price $785

MIN#DENVER2007-225 NEW!

Glassy crystal sprays of Celestite on shiny Aragonite and Sulfur matrix!
Usually these specimens are a mess with incomplete crystals and loads of
damage but this is one of the finer pieces I've seen. Most of the terminations are
complete with the only incomplete ones being on the backside where they
touched matrix. There are the normal slight contacts but nothing that detracts
from this very attractive combination piece! This specimen was found in 1956.
From the Floristella Mine, Enna Province, Sicily, Italy.
Measures 11 cm by 8 cm in size.
Ex. Edward David Collection
Price $2850

MIN#DENVER2007-226 SOLD!

Wow! Green Mimetite clusters with Calcite crystal accenting at top!
From the Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.
Measures 4.8 cm by 7.2 cm in size.
Ex. Harold Urish Collection
Price $585

MIN#DENVER2007-227 NEW!

Large plate of dendritic Native Silver on Native Arsenic matrix!
I haven't offered one of these specimens in a while because it's so difficult to find one that
isn't "bunchy". This plate has excellent form and the isolated herringbone look that I prefer!
From Pöhla, Schwarzenberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany.
Measures 11 cm by 8 cm in size.
Price $3250

MIN#DENVER2007-228 SOLD!

EXCEPTIONAL!! Tremendous cabinet specimen of gem Golden Calcites on matrix!
This is one of the finest Tri-State Calcite specimens that I've ever seen or owned! It almost
could be confused for an Elmwood specimen if not for the matrix. The Calcite crystals are in
excellent shape with transparent tips and transparent to translucent centers. They measure
12.7 cm and 12 cm in size and both are doubly terminated! This specimen would make a
great centerpiece for any Calcite or Tri-State Mining District collection. From the
Mid Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Cherokee County, Kansas
Measures 13.5 cm by 15.8 cm in size.
Price $4500

Price $685

MIN#DENVER2007-230 SOLD!

PLATINUM! Lustrous nugget of crystalline albeit water-worn Platinum!
With the price of Platinum bullion these days, specimens of this size have literally
disappeared from the market. I've also heard that Russia is clamping down on what
they allow out of the country. This large nugget measures 15.3 grams or half an ounce!
From Nishni Tagilsk, Urals, Russia.
Measures 2 cm by 1.5 cm in size.
Price $2750

MIN#DENVER2007-233 NEW!

Sharp crystals of Native Copper climbing atop a larger Native Copper crystal!
I love the look of this specimen! The large crystal at bottom is studded with dozens of
smaller but equally sharp Copper crystals. The patina and luster are also very good.
From the Pewabic Lode, Houghton County, Michigan.
Measures 6 cm by 7 cm in size.
Ex. Martin Zinn Collection
Price $3250

Impressive cabinet plate featuring a large Galena sitting atop Galena xls accented by Chalcopyrite!
The main Galena cube is lustrous and perfect measuring nearly 4 cm in size! The matrix is covered
with both octahedral and cubic crystals of Galena. A golden peppering of Chalcopyrite adds the
perfect color contrast to the Galena gray. Nature is quite the artist and never ceases to amaze me.
