Greenish purple bipyramidal octahedrons of fluorite associated with a very sharp wolframite crystal. An unusual floater (crystallizezd on all sides), since the common association at this locality is smoky quartz. Another interesting thing is that one of the faces on the main fluorite is completely smooth, unlike the others that have the stepped growth. Very strange!!!!!

Gemmy bright green dodecahedrons of the tsavorite variety of grossular sit on a light tan pair of diopside crystals, all on a matrix of graphite.

A beautiful, doubly terminated lime green herderite crystal measuring 1.4 cm with good luster and some geminess, sits on a matrix of the cleavlandite variety of albite. The rear of the specimen displays 3 gemmy quartz crystals, all also doubly terminated. No damage to any of the three species, and the herderite is a little gem.

A trio of crystals (one main one with two smaller attached)  of azurite in parallel growth have completely pseudomorphed to deep velvety green malachite.

A pair of doubly terminated azurite crystals that have completely altered to velvety green malachite. Complete all the way around with a small tip of deep blue azurite. Excellent miniature.

Bright green malachite is coating copper wires and cuprite crystals that are intermixed with yellow mimetite prisms.

You are all familiar with the yellow mimetites from the famous “gem pocket”. This specimen has three primary gemmy crystals that are terminated and undamaged. The hollow sections are natural. One crystal is damaged at the rear and is buried into the main crystal. There is also some slight beaverite present. Rarer than hair on a toad!

An amorphous, tan dolomite sculptural formation is sprinkled with bright yellow crystals of mimetite.

Bright yellow, gemmy prismatic crystals of lustrous mimetite sit on a medium green matrix of duftite crystals, white dolomites and colorless micro mimetites (unusual). Very attractive hand size specimen.

Four intergrown, very sharp, light tan crystals of olmiite to 1 cm on a bit of matrix. ExcellentTN of this rare (and newly described) manganese analog of poldervaartite found early this decade and now properly recognized as olmiite.
