A doubly terminated, lustrous, reddish purple single crystal of the sapphire variety of corundum sits on a matrix of dark biotite crystals.

A spectacular specimen of pentagonite where blue prismatic crystals are emanating from a central point and are partly coated with hair-like crystals of okenite. It was attached to matrix at one point (I am guessing). Great size for this habit.

A pair of dravite crystals with good luster and blue cap terminations and black crystal centers. Sits up well for display.

A single crystal of the variety of elbaite known as rubellite (due to it’s intense red color) is multiply terminated and generously sprinkled with pink lepidolite. Great luster and color.

Normally not a display mineral from the Poudrette quarry, this smoky quartz is extremely aesthetic, gemmy and displays well. It’s associated with tan siderite rhombs, white albite and tiny pyrite crystals.

A bright yellow (a very slight hint of green), doubly terminated very gemmy etched crystal of heliodor. Terrific single crystal that’s on par with the Russian helidors, except this one is from Brazil.

Medium pink, gemmy and lustrous prismatic crystals of the cobaltoan variety of calcite in a beautiful spray pattern, on matrix. Sweet miniature.

A clear fluorite crystal twinned according to the spinel law hosting air bubbles inclusions. The faces of the crystal also alternate from very smooth to grainy. Mined in the 80’s.

Clear calcite rhombs with a bit of malachite sit on on a creamy dolomite stalactite.

A group of very sharp crystals of sanidine with that iridescent “moonstone” effect that creates some beautiful colors when the light hits it. These were found in the early 1990s (if my memory serves me right) and have not been found again.
