Disc shaped rhombs of lustrous, ivory colored Calcite (to 4.5 cm) aesthetically perched like a "star" atop a pincushion matrix of translucent, nearly colorless Quartz crystals to 2.5 cm in length. A very unique specimen. In fine condition and even better in person.
Fine specimen of twinned Sphalerite crystals with very well defined faces and edges. Partially coated with very bright Pyrite crystals that have the dominant forms of a pyritohedron. Presentable from both sides.
Opposite Side
Light blue, sparkling spheres of drusy Quartz on Chrysocolla. Rare and very pretty.
Attractive distribution of Amethyst on contrasting matrix.
Excellent specimen of super lustrous Pyrite crystals with well defined, jet black Sphalerite crystals from a recent find in the Huanzala Mine. In fine condition.
Gemmy, green cluster of Fluorite crystals with Calcite from a new find in the Xianghualing Mine. In fine condition.
Most of the Cleophanes were mined from the 9th September Mine back in the '90s and they have been conspicuously absent from the market for a long time except for specimens held back in some dealer's stock. The Cleophane variety of Sphalerite has always been held in high regard by collectors because of the translucent olive green color and rarity of the crystals.

Wonderful complex, gemmy, pinkish Fluorite crystal with Pyrite & Galena from a limited find in the Huanzala Mine several years ago. I delayed listing this fine specimen for two years, during which I tried to take a satisfactory photo (difficult due to high translucency and faceted/textured surface). Finally, giving up, I asked Jeff Scovil to photograph it and the result gives the specimen the justice it deserves, but it is still even better in person. Thanks Jeff !!
Rare, twinned crystals of Witherite on matrix. Witherite was named for William Withering (1741-1799) an English physician and naturalist who in 1784 published his research on the new mineral.

Excellent cluster of translucent, slightly pink Manganoan Calcite crystals, which exhibit nice fluorescence under UV light.
Very fine "berber carpet" of deep olive green Clinozoisite crystals on an alkaline subvolcanic dolerite msatrix plate matrix. The Clinozoisites have such a good luster, there is almost an iridescence to them. There are several excellent, gemmy Quartz crystals emeging from the Clinozoisites. Clinozoisite is a complex calcium aluminium sorosilicate mineral with formula: Ca2Al3(Si2O7)(SiO4)O(OH). It forms a continuous solid solution series with Epidote by substitution of iron(III) in the aluminium (m3 site) and is also called aluminium Epidote.
