Sharp, large, lustrous, dard pink-red octahedral crystal of Spinel (2.5 x 2x 2 cm) with smaller crystals on matrix.
Wonderful sheave-like formations of stilbite with green color due to Celadonite inclusions.
Lustrous cluster of silvery Arsenopyrite crystals with minor Siderite.
Very aesthetic coverage of red and orange tinted Stilbite crystals on glistening White Chalcedony.
Gemmy Andradite crystals with beautiful and lustrous reddish brown color.
Fine plate of pale Amethyst crystals in excellent condition on Pyrite and Chalcopyrite.
Nice specimen of lemon yellow "Star" Muscovite.
Laguna Agate originates from Ojo Laguna, Mexico and is highly sought-after by serious collectors for their bright colors and fortification (banded) patterns.
Attractive plate of purple Fluorite crystals.
A fine example of specimens of blood red, prismatic crystals of Realgar that came out of Romania several years ago and, which are no longer easily obtainable in this quality..
Realgar (α-As4S4) is an arsenic sulfide mineral, also known as "ruby sulphur" or "ruby of arsenic".
Nice specimen of epitaxial growth of acicular, golden Rutile (TiO2) crystals on Hematite. This one has substance and is a bargain at the price.
Stunning specimen of deep purple Azurite with accenting green Malachite.
Lustrous, well terminated jet black crystals of rare Arfvedsonite bursting from contrasting off white Feldspar. Arfvedsonite was discovered in 1923 and named for the Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson (1792-1841).
Large crystal of dark red Sphalerite nicely perched on calcite from the famous Elmwood mine.
Beautiful formation of pale to dark blue Anhydrite crystals, many doubly terminated, with a dusting of Quartz crystals
Aesthetically balanced combination of blue Fluorite, cream colored Barite and white Calcite crystals.
Fine cluster of dark chocolate colored Crystals of Goethite.
An alluring cluster of acicular, radiating, orange Creedite crystals with gemmy light green Fluorite on one side. In very good condition. Creedite was first described in 1916 from the Creed Quadrangle in Mineral County, Colorado.
Wonderful ball of snow white Scolecite crystals perched on Orange Heulandites.
Scolecite is a tectosilicate mineral belonging to the zeolite group; a hydrated calcium silicate.
Attractive mix of translucent white Albite and silvery Muscovite on light tan Microcline.
Nice plate of botryoidal Malachite.
The number and quality of Grossular specimens has been poor at earlier Tucson Shows, but this year there were some very good specimens from a recent find that were very well cleaned. I bought a number of them, so if you don't catch this one - I have more available.
Specimen of frosted Amethyst crystals from a new find in Nevada.
Very nice Panasqueira specimen of purple Apatite crystals (0.25 cm) on Quartz with Sphalerite and Marcasite.
Excellent specimen with large, well terminated,lustrous Hübnerite (MnWO4) crystals (to 4.5 x 1 cm) - in very good condition. It was first described in 1865 and named after the German mineralogist, Adolf Huebner.
Pretty cluster of hexagonal Aragonite crystals.
Fine specimen of Sphalerite and Galena on a cluster of Quartz - in excellent condition.
Super cluster of light blue Fluorite crystals.
Arsenopyrite (FeAsS) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system and often shows prismatic crystal or columnar forms with striations and twinning common. Arsenopyrite may be referred to in older references as orthorhombic, but it has been shown to be monoclinic.
Celadonite is a mica group mineral, a phyllosilicate of potassium, iron in both oxidation states, aluminium and hydroxide with formula: K(Mg,Fe2+)(Fe3+,Al)[Si4O10](OH)2. The name is from the French celadon, for sea-green.
Goethite (FeO(OH), (pronounced gertite) named after the German polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is an iron bearing oxide mineral found in soil and other low-temperature environments.
Storey County earned its place on the map in 1859 when miners discovered the largest deposit ever found of gold and silver in Virginia City, which pumped nearly half a billion dollars into the economy of the United States. This discovery ultimately heralded Storey County’s Virginia City/Gold Hill as “The Richest Place on Earth.”
Panasqueira is a one of the largest tungsten mines in the world. It is located in Castelo Branco, Portugal. This classic locality has for over 100 years produced, and keeps on producing, fine collector specimens. The great feature of these specimens, apart from their quality, is the fact that they almost always combine quite a few mineral species.
