Even in a case filled with very fine minerals, this stands out! Showy epitaxial growth of Duftite on Calcite. Striking color and form with individual crystals to 1.5 CM, densely clustered in highly aesthetic plate. By naked eye the only damage is on the outer edge. 10X magnification shows very slight abrasions ... overall perfect as a display specimen!

Super bright color! From the small find that made a lot of news. Very cute red-orange quartz cluster. A small white area on the tip that looks like damage but is actually a clear quartz overgrowth. The only damage is at the base contact area, this has a lot of impact for the small size. These were selling for very high prices shortly after the find, this is a very good value for one of these.

8.1 x 3.1 CM (cabinet)
price: $250
Tucson group
A classic form of Barite from Stoneham. The crystals reach 6.6 CM, well terminated and with good deep blue color. The main crystals are complete and undamaged, but a minor crystal is broken near the base, not distracting but it is there. Looks fine on all sides, better than average from a well known location.
A perfect miniature specimen! Sharp, bright, gem clear and lustrous, this Brandburg area specimen has everything going for it. Displays well from every angle, the pictures show it best. No damage seen under 10x magnification. This is the type of esthetics and quality that is most desired in a Brandburg!
