Schorl with Cleavelandite
stock #20.1-299-(LW1122)
Urucum Mine, Galileia
Minas Gerais, Brazil
3.4 x 2.6 x 1.7 CM (thumbnail)
price: $80
new year 2021

A "candelabra" style specimen of slender Tourmalines in a pretty arrangement offset by well-crystallized Cleavelandite. This will fit in a thumbnail box (barely) and has very nice contrast. Originally labeled as an Elbaite, but on close study it is a Schorl. Ex Larry White collection he obtained it from the Brauns in 1975. I do not see many attractive Schorl of this sort and never in thumbnail size. While not a rare specie it is surprisingly rare to see in thumbnail collections.

Beryl Var Goshenite -Highly etched crystal.
stock #16.1-332
Urucum Mine, Galileia
Minas Gerais, Brazil
3.8 x 2.6 x 1.8 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $440
Spring 2020

Perfect, gemmy and absolutely colorless, this looks just like ice. A natural sculpture of a single etched Beryl crystal, this is also a complete floater. Every surface is complexly faceted, etched and undamaged. Not many minerals can exhibit this degree of sharp sculptural etching, however we see this with Beryl from a few finds and these can be incredible in person. True colorless Beryl (Goshenite) is also quite uncommon. This specimen is displayable from any side or angle, the larger faces are smoothly curved yet striated and it is fully transparent with no inclusions, veils or cracks. Choice gem..
