SALE! #351Sold!
Awesome combination of olive-green
Gyrolites on Okenite puffs!
It's hard not to stare at this specimen! Both minerals sit atop a Laumontite crystal
matrix and the Okenite
puffs are in great condition with only some slight pressing along the top of the highest
puffs. This doesn't
bother me in the least and appears to be of natural origin and matrix influenced. Combos
of this sort are rare.
From Bombay, Maharashtra State, India.
Measures 5.7 cm by 7.4 cm by 4.5 cm in size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled base
Price $1500

Very pretty mix of orange Wulfenite
blades with reddish-orange Mimetite on matrix!
The blades themselves are transparent and clear with
the normal scattered breaks but
nothing that detracts from the beauty of the piece. The Mimetite is really nice and always
makes the piece. The ratio of Wulfenite to Mimetite is very good with this specimen.
#129 on the lower right side is the collection number and could be removed if desired.

SALE! #365 Sold!
Pretty crystals of reddish-purple
(iridescent) Sphalerite on Fluorite!
Classic old timer with no damage and sharp, lustrous crystals. It must be a piece of some
history because it comes with an old handwritten German label from the 1800's. If you
have any information on the origin of this collection label, please e-mail. Thanks!

SALE! #366
The "Copper Scorpion"!
Elongated crystals of Native Copper created this unique form that really does look like
a scorpion - tail, pinchers, and all! I purchased this specimen the second I saw it
because the
animal resemblance was so obvious. The crystals are sharp with lustrous faces - a pretty
luster mixed with reddish-brown patina! They lay atop a matrix of rock and white Calcite.

Attractive cluster of doubly terminated
Brazilianite crystals on Albite!
