Mimetite
stock #24.1-457
Tsumeb
Otjikoto Region, Namibia
2.6 x .8 x .7 CM (thumbnail)
price: $90


A gem clear yellow Mimetite thumbnail with elongated habit. From the golden age at Tsumeb, the main crystal is 2.5 CM tall. In good condition overall however the termination has a tiny rough contact point. Displays well and has great luster, the tip contact keeps this a very inexpensive piece so if you are not a perfectionist, a great value.

Fluorite with minor Barite

McWilliams group near Bouse, Plomosa Mountains, La Paz County
Arizona, United States
4.1 x 2.5 x 2.2 CM (miniature)
price: $90
Fall 22

Fluorite from an uncommon locality, collected about 30 years ago. Zoned blue-grey to purple cubes with the outer edges translucent while the centers are opaque. A good location example, the cubes have some glassy edges but the largest faces are frosted and etched with micro secondary Fluorites clustered in the centers.

Himmelsfurst Mine, Brand Erbisdorf, Freiberg district, Erzgebirge
Saxony, Germany
7.7 x 5.2 x 5 CM (cabinet)

A three dimensional specimen with several fingers and crevices coated with small Siderite crystals which are in turn coated with small Pyrite crystals. From the famed and ancient Freiburg mining district, a very good representative Gangue specimen.

Peridot
stock #8.AE-843
Sapat Gall, Naran KaghanValley, Mansehra District
North West Frontier Province, Pakistan
2.9 x 2.6 x 2.2 CM (thumbnail)
price: $95
Fall 22

The Peridot crystals of Sappat are modern classics. This is a good thumbnail with a pair of chisel-tip crystals standing above the Peridot matrix. Some faces of these crystals are somewhat transparent while other faces are silky and less clear. Typical "melted" look on some edges and chipping noted on the base and backside, this is otherwise a clean and a very affordable gem crystal.

Roselite on Calcite

Aghbar Mine, Aghbar, Agdz Cercle, Zagora Province
Draa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco
3.3 x 1.8 x 1.2 CM (thumbnail)
price: $90
New Year 22

A well crystalized thumbnail sized Roselite with fine color and gemmy crystals. In very good condition as seen, from the great finds at Aghbar Mine which produced some of the very best Cobalt minerals of all time.

Microcline var. Amazonite
stock #17.1-319
Lake George area, Teller County
Colorado, United States
7.3 x 4.6 5 CM (cabinet)
price: $90
New Year 22

Pale-green blocky crystals of Amazonite in a classic cluster from Colorado. The main crystals are complete and perfect condition, the outer edges are broken as is typical when removed from a shattered pocket. An affordable specimen from this famed region, attractive on all sides.

Albite - vintage specimen var. Adularia
stock #21.1-078
Greiner (Greinerberg) Finkenberg, Zillertal, Schwatz District
Tyrol, Austria
4.7 x 3.1 x 1.5 CM (miniature)
price: $80
Late Summer 2021

Gemmy and bright small Adularia crystals in two generations on a thin matrix plate. This specimen comes in an antique handmade display box of cardboard that has had a round hole cut into the top and a glass sheet installed. Old labels are included. The specimen is in excellent condition, the labels reference an early alpine locality now known as the Greiner area of Schwatz, Tyrol. All of the Adularia are transparent on close exam. Unfortunately it is impossible to know the exact vintage of this piece or the names of the early collectors but it is still a very nice antique presentation.

Pyrite - altering to Hematite/Goethite
stock #7-AE-230
Green Monster Mountain, Prince of Wales Island, Prince of Wales Island
Alaska, United States
3.5 x 3.1 x 2.6 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $90
Late Summer 2021

From the famed Green Monster Mountain (Alaska) a Pyrite crystal partially pseudomorphed by Iron Oxide species. This locale is well-known for fine Epidote but the Pyrite pseudos are seldom seen. The Pyrite on this has good somewhat iridescent luster on some faces. Several faces also have some fissures and and stepped zones. The pyrite form is distinct and the specimen seems to be solid and stable.
