Transparent orange crystals of wulfenite on a dark matrix that is sprinkled with tiny quartz crystals.  A spray of barite prisms sits at one end of the specimen.

Back in 2013, I was fortunate enough to be around when the “floaters” pocket (the one that was cemented shut late 2013) was being offered and I got to look at about 400 specimens from that pocket. In my opinion this was one of the top 10 pieces there. Most of the specimens had microscopic blemishes, but some had the electric color, superb luster and minor malachite. This is one of those with the color, luster and the form. Choice!

Sharp and gemmy lustrous prisms of pastel yellow calcite on a matrix of light dolomite rhombs that are sprinkled with dark green olivenite spheres. Unusual habit for olivenite.

A text book,  2 cm crystal of the uncommon silicate sapphirine, is well exposed on the matrix with smaller crystals and reddish phlogopite crystals. Choice!

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.

Clear and lustrous, intergrown calcite crystals on a reddish brown matrix of dolomite, with minor duftite. Pretty specimen.

A beautiful, lustrous and gemmy, smoky twinned crystal of cerussite sits on a matrix of pinkish dolomite crystals. The rera of the specimen is loaded with yellow acicular tsumcorite crystals.

A textbook, amber colored wulfenite crystal measuring 3.5 cm across (!) sits on another crystal at an angle and is outlined and surrounded by a druse of tan dolomite.. Great luster color and flawless.

Extremely gemmy, sharp and lustrous crystals of smithsonite on a tennantite matrix. Textbook crystals.

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