Finely crystallized specimen of Native

What a cute specimen! The rubyjack Sphalerite crystal can be easily seen on the right
side of the specimen and the Calcite at top sits atop a small Silver wire! Actually, the
entire specimen is composed of dendritic Silver "feathers" and crystals. Very
sweet!

MIN#EM-84 NEW!
Large cabinet sized specimen of very
vibrant blue Azurite with Malachite!
This was one of the first mineral specimens in my own personal collection. I sold it years
ago and was very happy to find it again last year. A little bit of trimming and cleaning
and here it is again on the website. I was always impressed with the sparkle and color
of this thick specimen of solid Azurite. I also love the fact that it has its own crystal
filled vugs and seams, showing the geology of the Bisbee locality. It isn't perfect and
does
have some scattered contacts and incomplete crystals but I think it's a special piece.
The photo above says it all I think. It just displays beautifully - better than most.
From the Copper Queen Mine, Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona.
Measures 18.4 cm by 16 cm by 15.5 cm in size.

VERY RARE!! Wow, this is a matrix
Rhodochrosite on Quartz from the Climax Mine!
Anyone who knows Colorado minerals and Rhodochrosite knows just how rare matrix
Climax pieces are - especially one that has large crystals. I've seen two on the past
ten years of looking for one so I was thrilled to find this specimen. True, the Rhodos
aren't Sweet Home quality but they are very good for Colorado and display some
excellent color with glassy surfaces. The rhomb in the front has flaking and measures
4 cm while the smaller rhomb in back is complete and measures 2.5 cm in size. The
outer faces appear to be included with a Quartz drusy which is common for Climax.
I'm being very picky here considering the specimen's rarity but I want to be accurate.
From the Climax Mine, Fremont Pass, Lake County, Colorado.
Measures 5.5 cm by 7.5 cm in size.

VERY RARE!! A very rare specimen of
Luanheite on matrix!
Luanheite is a rare Amalgam of Native Silver and Mercury. It is usually found
in sheets and this is the first I've seen on matrix which makes it even more special
in my opinion. This specimen has been analysed and contains mostly Luanheite
with a lesser amount of Eugenite (another rare Ag-Hg Amalgam). For more info
on Luanheite, a good read about this rare Silver mineral can be found at this link!
From the Privol'noye Deposit, Central Yakutia, Russia.
Measures 10.6 cm by 5.3 cm in size.

EXCEPTIONAL! Beautiful cluster of glassy
Calcites with yellow phantoming!
Calcites from China aren't rare these days but specimens of this quality definately
are! Look at how sharp and perfect the crystal faces are! The "starburst" yellow
phantoms inside each crystal are incredible. I must admit, this specimen impresses me.
From Hongyang, Hunan Province of China.
Measures 10.6 cm by 14.5 cm in size.
