Classic specimen featuring a large reddish-pink Rhodochrosite rhombs perched atop Fluorite crystals!
This is a wonderful combination piece from the classic locality of Silverton, Colorado. The largest rhomb
measures 3 cm in width and sits atop several smaller rhombs. Beneath the Rhodos is a lustrous cluster of
colorless Fluorite octahedrons. They cover the top and front side of the Quartz matrix. In excellent condition.

MIN#EXCEPTIONAL-43 AVAILABLE!

Elegant specimen featuring curling wires of Native Silver rising from an Acanthite matrix!
This is a gorgeous Silver specimen from the world famous Freiberg District and one that is every bit as
impressive as the larger specimens at just a fraction of their price. The numerous wires rise vertically
before twisting and curling near the tips, forming a specimen that is both well balanced and attractive.
The patina is a rich golden-brown near the base and this changes over to a darker gray as a very fine
Acanthite evenly covers the upper portions of the wires. This is indicative of a specimen that is both
original and untampered with since repeated cleaning can remove this fine layer of Acanthite. Original
classic Silvers are highly sought after by most collectors and much more attractive in my own opinion.
From the Himmelsfürst Mine, Brand-Erbisdorf, Freiberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany.
Measures 10 cm by 6.2 cm by 1.5 cm in total size.

Aesthetic specimen featuring gemmy green Fluorite octahedrons set atop Quartz matrix!

Fluorite octahedron measures to 4 cm in size and each crystal has glassy faces with a rolling luster.

Deep red crystals of Proustite accented by Acanthite snug inside a deep matrix vug!
What an amazing, unique specimen of Silver Sulfide! The Proustite crystals have been well protected by the
hard matrix vug and still maintain incredible eye catching color. The Acanthite is darker and more metallic
in appearance, providing the perfect contrast to the reddish Proustite crystal clusters.  The surfaces of the
Proustites are mirror-reflective and the interiors are gemmy. Both are accented by Calcites inside the vug.
The matrix is pink Rhodochrosite at top and opens in the very back side of the vug, allowing light through.

This is a flashy, super lustrous Boleite cube which measures a full 1 cm in size and 1.4 cm across the corners.

are exceedingly rare and seldomly seen at the shows. In excellent condition with some slight corner modifications.

Superb specimen of iridescent Covellite blades with Enargite crystals and Quartz on matrix!
Wow, this is both a beauty and a rarity. Anyone who has searched for top quality Butte Covellites
knows just how difficult they are to locate. This is the best Butte specimen I've offered in a while
and the lustrous purple blades are a sight to see! They are in excellent shape and sit atop a matrix
vug that is lined by Quartz points and filled with black Enargite crystals! It's hard to do much better
than this fine combination specimen. The blades are mostly freestanding and complete. Very nice!

Satiny chatoyant specimen of Malachite ps after Azurite crystals!
This lustrous specimen is from the famous Milpillas locality that produced some of the finest specimens of
Azurite in the world. This specimen is a different take on that theme in that the glassy blue Azurite crystals have
completely pseudomorphed to lustrous Malachite. The structure is still apparent and the specimen is quite attractive.
Locality: Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Santa Cruz Municipality, Sonora, Mexico.

Extraordinarily rare specimen featuring a deep blue Aquamarine crystal perched horizontally atop Topaz crystals!
I saw two of these unique specimens from Russia at the show and this one was by far the best of the two. The Aquamarine
crystal exhibits a deep blue coloration and it is also doubly terminated, measuring over 7 cm in length. It sits or lays atop
a bed of numerous Topaz crystals which are mostly pale blue but they also show some golden accents or inclusions. Very
beautiful and unusual specimen and a rare combination as well. In very good condition with loads of glassy flash and color.

Lovely specimen featuring gemmy crystals of purple Adamite on Goethite matrix!
Glassy lustrous and gemmy-translucent, these Adamite crystals display chisel tips of pinkish-purple

This lovely combination is only the second specimen I've offered and it is in excellent condition with two
pristine Smoky scepters perched atop colorless Quartz crystals, which are in turn, sitting atop a base of
green Prehnite. A sprinkling of small white Albite crystals accent the area between the two scepters.

Large, gemmy crystals of Quartz var. Amethyst crystals artistically perched atop sparkling matrix!
A dramatic cabinet sized specimen, the Amethyst crystals are fully transparent with a gorgeous internal glow.
They sit atop a rocky, druse covered matrix and the visual impact between the two is stunning. The display is
equally impressive with the Amethyst crystals rising up from a matrix shelf that juts out to the left side of the
plate. I was immediately attracted to the aesthetics of this specimen and I'm sure you will be too. No damage.

Impressive plate featuring numerous Benitoite crystals on a bed of white Natrolite!
There are over a dozen Benitoite crystals on this plate with lots of blue gem to explore if
you're a stone cutter. I prefer the specimen to remain as is however. The crystals exhibit
a strong satiny luster and measure to 2 cm in size. There are in excellent condition save for
a couple of small contacts near the trim edge that get lost without the aid of magnification.
Benitoite plates of this magnitude are few and far between in the marketplace today so this
represents a rare opportunity if you need a fine small cabinet sized plate for your collection.

Incredible specimen featuring thick Aquamarine crystals on Muscovite and Albite!
The Aquamarines are perfectly terminated and jut out in all directions atop the silvery bladed
Muscovite covered matrix! This is a tremendous Aquamarine specimen from a famous locale
that just isn't producing the same quality that it once did. This specimen probably came to market
back around 2002 or 2003 and its aesthetical qualities are excellent. The crystals are terminated
with flat tips and only the occasional modification. The faces are glassy with transparent interiors
throughout with better than average color. Contacts are few and invisible among the dozens of crystals.

MIN#EXCEPTIONAL-57 AVAILABLE!

Tri-State Classic featuring gorgeous crystals of deep golden Calcite on Chert matrix!
This is one of the finest Tri-State Calcites that I've ever offered. The crystals are gemmy with
some of the best golden color you'll ever see from this classic mining district. Their color is more
in line with something you'd see coming from the Elmwood Mine! I love the way three distinct
crystals habits appear on the same matrix, with the largest crystal in the back being doubly
terminated. It measures 7.5 cm in length and it as clear as glass near the tips and along the
upper edge. I can read the label card through the interior of the crystal! In excellent condition
with no damage to speak of - this specimen is incredibly well preserved considering its age.

Impressive combination of a large unincluded Calcite with Copper included Calcites on Native Copper!
One of the neatest Copper in Calcite specimens I've seen in years, this specimen features several
gemmy, non-included Calcite crystals sitting alongside Copper included Calcites atop the Native Copper
matrix! How this happened is beyond me but it's definitely not common and something I rarely see.
 It's also visually stunning. The large unincluded Calcite measures 5.5 cm in size.. In excellent condition.

Fine specimen of brown Fluorite on Celestite crystal blades with yellow Calcite!
This specimen is from a find that occurred several years ago and quality specimen have
since disappeared from the market. I choose this specimen because the Fluorite cubes are
all in excellent condition with smooth glassy faces and no detracting contacts. The largest
cube situated to the left measures nearly 4 cm corner to corner. Every one of the cubes exhibit
a bold phantom just beneath the surface. They sit atop a series of Celestite blades with Calcite.
