UNIQUE! Bronze crystals of Heulandite inside a Celadonite coated vug!
This unusual specimen is set inside a volcanic balsalt matrix and is MUCH better
than what I captured in the photo. The crystals are flashy and sparkle when held
under any lighting. I believe the green mineral coating the vug is Celadonite.

RARE! Awesome mix of Galena crystals with Native Silver wires and Barite!

been fortunate enough to find a specimen of this quality. Measures 8 cm by 6 cm in size.

SALE! #29

Awesome combo of golden Calcite, Dolomite xls, Quartz points, and Pyrite ps. Marcasite!
The Pyrite is pseudomorphing the Marcasite and this makes for some interesting flattened
crystals. The large Dolomite crystals in the middle tie both the Calcites at top and Quartz
points at bottom together, creating a wonderful display specimen from the Nanisivik Mine,
Baffin Island, North West Territories, Canada. Measures 11 cm by 6 cm in total size.
Ex. Schlichter Collection.

Fine specimen of lustrous Hematite blades with Quartz!

are small or crushed and not very attractive. These are complete and measure
up to 2 cm in size. They have nice thickness as well with the far left blade right
at .6 cm thick! A brilliant specimen measuring 4.5 cm by 5.3 cm in total size.

RARE SILVER!!! Sharp, lustrous crystals of Acanthite on Quartz matrix!

The main Acanthite crystal (upper left) measures 2+ cm in length!
A CLASSIC Nevada Silver specimen from the early Jim Butler days.
