EXCEPTIONAL!!! Stunning blue crystals
of Beryl var. Aquamarine on original Muscovite!
This is by far, the most aesthetic Aquamarine plate
I've come across in a long time. This specimen
actually pulled me into a booth at the Tucson Show when I saw the color of the Aquamarine
crystals
under direct lighting. Very rarely does a specimen look that good from thirty feet away.
When I
examined the plate closely, I was amazed by its vibrance, pristine surfaces and aesthetic
presentation!
I rarely come across a specimen with so many qualities in one package and the natural,
slightly bronzed
Muscovite blades only adds to the overall beauty. Plates of this quality are extremely
difficult to find
these days and most have long disappeared into private collections years ago. This is a
rare opportunity!
From Chumar Bakhoor, Hunza Valley, Gilgit
District, Northern Areas, Pakistan.
Measures 11.5 cm by 15 cm by 14 cm in size.
Currently in the Kevin Ward Mineral Collection
Price $24,500

VERY RARE! Lustrous specimen of Native
leaf Gold on Pink Granite matrix!
The color combination between the Gold and Pink
Granite is always a sight to see and makes
this mine one of my favorite localities for Gold specimens. Unfortunately, it's also a
very difficult
locality to find specimens from because it's now closed. In addition to this, many
specimens were
reclaimed by the mine owners due to property rights so the number available was greatly
reduced.
This is a rare opportunity to add an attractive and seldomly seen Gold locality to your
collection.
From the Nugget Pond Gold Mine, Betts Cove, Baie Verte
Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada.
Measures 5 cm by 4.3 cm by 5 cm in size.
Price $6500

Gemmy crystals of Topazolite in
cluster!
Talk about your dazzling specimens! The color ranges
from a brownish green to a rootbeer
brown and the crystal faces are incredible flashy and glassy. I only detect one tiny bump
on what is an otherwise nearly perfect specimen. The facial striations are something to
see!

Beautiful golden-brown Barite mixed
