A deep purple, fluorite octahedron with stepped cubed faces demonstrating the classic, well-defined ochsenhauge habit, on white quartz. Recent find from late 2020.

A medium purple, fluorite octahedron with stepped cubed faces demonstrating a subtle ochsenhauge habit, on white quartz. Recent find from late 2020.

Medium purple, inter-grown fluorite octahedrons with stepped cubed faces demonstrating a subtle ochsenhauge habit, on white quartz. Recent find from late 2020.

A wonderful deep purple fluorite octahedron with stepped cubed faces and demonstrating a partial ochsenhauge habit, on white quartz. Recent find from late 2020.

Several groups of inter-grown deep purple octahedrons with cubic stepped growth on the faces of the crystals sit on a matrix of off-white quartz. The main crystal has a textbook ochsenhaugen habit. New find from 2020.

A complex dark purple fluorite octahedron with cubic stepped growth on the faces of the crystals sits on a matrix of off-white quartz. Ochsenhauge patterns throughout the faces are interrupted by inter-grown crystals. New find from 2020.

A pair and a single crystal of inter-grown light purple octahedrons with cubic stepped growth on the faces of the crystals sit on a matrix of off-white quartz. Top crystal demonstrates the ochsenhauge habit. New find from 2020.

A trio of light purple octahedrons with cubic stepped growth on the faces (slightly divided bythe ochsenhauge lines) of the crystals sit on a matrix of off-white quartz. New find from late 2020.

A pastel blue crystal of corundum with a flat termination on one side and a pinacoidal one on the other side. It actually looks like one crystal grew inside the other.

A highly unusual Tsumeb specimen (What a surprise!) consisting of a pair of stalactites composed of duftite (as a cast in one area), calcite and mottramite acts as host to a an assortment of glassy cerussite  crystals. Ex Immelman collection, who acquired it in 1979.
