Nicely formed light creamy yellow Stellerite crystal (5.5 x 4.5 cm) on white Mordenite.
Beautiful deep dark purple cubes of Fluorite on matrix.
Gorgeous, sparkling secondary growth of Calcite crystals on a Calcite stalactite. A real beauty !
Green Quartz with partial covering of rediish brown Garnets. An interesting display specimen.
Pretty cluster of pale blue Fluorite crystals on Muscovite.
Shiny, almost wet looking mass of blue-green Chrysocolla.
Unusual specimen of clear Selenite included by microcrystals of shiny Copper.
Aesthetic combination of glassy green Apophyllite crystals with sprays of radiating lustrous white Scolecite crystals and accenting Stilbite crystals.
Golden plate of Pyrite crystals with snow white Calcite crystals.
Clear glassy Barite crystals between tabular and laminar in form and with a fine luster on a small matrix of Dolomite. Fluorescence under UV light is spectacular, having interesting and well defined zones of different intensity.
Unusual bowtie shaped Stibnite crystal formations on and in dark gray Calcite crystals (color likely dur to inclusions of Stibnite).
Rare gem grade Demantoid Garnets nicely separated on matrix. Demantoid garnet is a rare and beautiful bright grass green sub-variety of Andradite garnet. It appears to have first been discovered around 1892 in the Bobrovka area of Russia.
Great tree shaped specimen formed by a haphazard stack of silvery gray tabular hexagonal crystals of Hematite.
Really neat specimen of Quartz crystals with phantoms or earlier generation of clear Quartz crystals, which would not be visible except for a light covering of another mineral on their surface (these are the white dots seen within the crystals on the photos).
Beautifull lilac barrel shaped hexagonal "books" of Lepidolite formed by numerous
sheets of this form of Mica. Very hard to photograph - much better in person !
Very nice plate of fine white Quartz (called Choral by some Indian Dealers) with well separated light salmon colored Stibite crytals, including bowties.
Terrific vug with aesthetic mix of Heulandite, Stilbite and Apophyllite crystals on green colored Quartz. Even better in person !
Attractive display specimen of ruby colored Tourmaline crystals in matrix.
Clear as glass Gypsum var. Selenite crystals with a pretty green tint due to underlying Malachite matrix.
Pleasing to the eye specimen of red Stilbite with translucent green Apophyllite crystals.
A specimen of lemon yellow Lepidolite, from a new find in Brazil. The translucent crystals on these specimens are densely packed layers of Mica.
Vugs are small to medium-sized cavities inside rock that may be formed through a variety of processes. Most commonly cracks and fissures opened by tectonic activity (folding and faulting) are partially filled by quartz, calcite, and other secondary minerals. Open spaces within ancient collapse breccias are another important source of vugs. Vugs may also result when mineral crystals or fossils inside a rock matrix are later removed through erosion or dissolution processes, leaving behind irregular voids. The inner surfaces of such vugs are often coated with some of the mineral matter that formed them. Fine crystals are often found in vugs where the open space allows the free development of external crystal form. The term vug is not applied to veins and fissures that have become completely filled, but may be applied to any small cavities within such veins. Geodes are a common vug formed rock, although that term is usually reserved for more rounded crystal-lined cavities in sedimentary rocks and ancient lavas
Metaphysical Properties: The phantom crystal is recognized by a "phantom" crystal within the crystal. The phantom, an image of the structure of another crystalline mineral, is comprised of a white or colored mineral and may be partial or complete. The phantoms within a crystal provide an indication of the experiences, and the transformations, which the crystal has encountered during its evolution. The phantom crystal has experienced numerous lifetimes, of learning and "being", while continuing in the same physical configuration: the crystal represents the many phases and the many types of life which may be experienced during ones lifetime.
