This specimen is from the Silvane collection, which was created over the last 25 years through the efforts of Josep Amigó
(1924-2008).

Devoted to his family, he decided to name his collection the Silvane Collection, which is the result of his linking together the names of his two grand-daughters, Silvia and Ana Elena (whose nickname was Anelen).

John Cornish brings the latest finds of his Rat' Nest Claim to the Tucson Show every year and this one caught my eye, especially the rich color of the Heulandite crystals in wonderful contrast to the white Mordenite. There is a smaller pocket on the opposite side. John said this was the best specimen he had on display with this great color. This is superb Heulandite from Idaho - not India !!!
A beautiful tight cluster of four lustrous blue Apatite crystals (8.5 x 4 cm) on orange Calcite.
Aesthetic flower-like formation (9x7x4.5 cm) of Anhydrite crystals on a pale Amethyst substrate.
Intricate formation of tan colored, sand included Selenite crystals.

Nice specimen of much sought after Green Quartz from Greece - the rich green color due to inclusions of Hedenbergite.
Another classic Quartz specimen, this one being a cluster of nicely terminated Quartz needles with dark red color due to presence of Iron. The cluster had grown from a base of Hematite rosettes.
Solid piece of green Malachite in it's botroyoidal form.
Yes, its Salt, but this is a very nice cluster from the Detroit Salt Mine.
Another common mineral, i.e., a form of Mica - but aesthetically this is not common. This is a stunning green to yellow green cluster of flower like Muscovite crystal formations. These only seem to come from Brazil and I never find more than a few good ones at the Tucson Show. It presents nicely on both sides.
Yet another Quartz specimen - a nice cluster of clear, sharp Quartz points with interspersed pitachio green Epidote crystals.
Beautiful lustrous light blue crust of botroyoidal Hemimorphite on substrate.
Super gemmy yellow Cerussite crystals with creamy white blades of Barite on a heavy piece of substrate.
Stunning plate of golden Chalcopyrite crystals on Sphalerite and with mini-clusters of Quartz. Classic Romanian mine specimen from the Silvane Collection.
Numerous Calcite crystals of various sizes, some with greenish tint due to Chlorite, cover a substrate of dark Manganese mineral.
Dark honey colored, gemmy Spessartine Garnets nicely scattered on a Orthoclase matrix.
This specimen features a 1x1x1 cm yellow, gemmy, hexagonal crystal of Apatite on matrix.
Very gemmy cluster of Calcite crystals. Even better in person.
Another fine specimen of golden Chalcopyrite crystals with Quartz and Sphalerite from the famous Boldut Mine.
Star shaped crystals of lemony colored Muscovite cover this specimen with a lone water clear crystal of Quartz.
Sky blue Fluorite crystals on matrix from the Blanchard Claim.
Beautiful complex cluster of delicate, glassy, blue Barite crystals.
Very nice plate of lime green Prehnite crystals.
A very nice translucent blue crystal of Kyanite with an unusually clean intact termination runs diagonally across this specimen.
Very pale yellow botroyoidal crust of Pectolite on a vug like substrate.
