SOLD Topaz -Gemmy golden gem, USA Classic
stock #SOLD 24.1-433
Thomas Range, Juab County,
Utah, United States
4.3 x 2.2 x 2.2 CM (miniature)
price: $0


Sharp, complete and gem clear Topaz from the famed Thomas Range of Utah. From the collection of Les Hitchings, collected before 1970. A tiny bit of Rhyolite matrix is present as are many small sparkling clear Topaz crystals. The color of these is often described as Cognac and that seems about right, well above average for one of these, the luster is super glassy. An excellent value and far more impressive in person.

Hyalite opal on Rutile crystals
stock #24.1-311
Novo Horizonte
Bahia, Brazil
5.2 x .8 x .6 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $360


An amazing and odd specimen with the association of glass-clear Hyalite Opal balls coating the golden to copper color Rutile crystals. From a small find about 2 years ago, these were very much a surprise in the mineral world. As far as I know, this association is unique to this locale, only one example is seen on Mindat and this is certainly a very rare combo. In fine condition, esthetic and the Hyalite is vividly fluorescent as well.

Fluorite on Sphalerite
stock #22.1-263
Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Smith County
Tennessee, United States
6.1 x 5.2 x 2.7 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $290


A modern American classic, purple Fluorite cube on dark Sphalerite from the famed Elmwood Mine. The Sphalerite has excellent luster and well-formed crystals with a good contrast to the Fluorite. The Fluorite has nicely defined growth structures on the faces and beveled corners. A very nice display quality specimen of the rich minerals found in this iconic mine.

Quartz with Hematite
stock #24.1-213-DK
Jinlong, Lungchuan, Heyuan Prefecture
Guangdong Province, China
6 x 5.1 x 4,8 CM (cabinet)
price: $1150


Exceptional and in fine condition, delicate slender red Quartz crystals (colored by inclusions of Hematite) surround a Hematite crystal cluster in rose form. These are modern classics that were somewhat common 15-20 years ago (though most had considerable damage). Good, clean and undamaged specimens were uncommon then and very rare now. This is an older piece with especially fine form and presentation, a great addition for any Quartz suite, Chinese collection or for anyone who appreciates wonderful esthetics.

Adamite- bi color crystals
stock #AX-10-831
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
3.3 x 2.6 x 1.7 CM (thumbnail)
price: $140


Bundles of bi-color Adamite crystals on Gossan matrix. a choice thumbnail in fine condition. The Adamites from Mina Ojuela are one of the mineral world’s best values for quality and still reasonable cost. A nice example with a pale pink to red color contrasting with a yellow green hue.

Elbaite Tourmaline - fine Indicolite blue with Lepidolite
stock #SOLD 24.1-250-DK
Barra do Salinas Mining District, Coronel Murta
Minas Gerais, Brazil
SOLD 4.7 x 1.3 x 1.5 CM (miniature)
price: $0


A fine gem crystal with intense blue color, this is an older specimen from the great Barra do Salinas in Brazil. Typical of good Barra Tourmalines, the exterior is etched and has a fibrous look, yet the inside is nearly all flawless gem grade. This has top blue color with bright luster, it is terminated with stepped habit and is undamaged. A small Lepidolite crystal on the side is a nice addition. Choice and better in person.

Pyromorphite on Quartz
stock #24.1-431
Mercur Mine, Bad Ems, Nassau
Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
3.4 x 2.3 x 1.7 CM (thumbnail)
price: $200


A choice, bright green thumbnail specimen from this famed, classic locality. The condition is excellent, no damage to note and the Pyro crystals are clustered in sheaf-like masses. The habit is unusual for a Bad Ems Pyromorphite, the contrast with the matrix makes it stand out well.

Smoky Quartz Gwindel
stock #23.1=292-DK
Val Giuv, Tujetsch, Surselva Region
Grischun (Grisons), Switzerland
4.3 x 4.4 x 2.7 CM (miniature)
price: $700


A complete Gwindel that is transparent and has a deep red-brown color. In fine condition as seen, the Quartz has a very well-defined twist and displays well from any side. Excellent lustre and form. Larger Quartz than this miniature are currently vey costly, this is a choice smaller example at a much more affordable price.
