A sherry colored, very lustrous, perfectly terminated gemmy crystal of imperial topaz, on matrix(!) Crystal measures 3.6 cm and is in perfect condition.
A single, very lustrous and gemmy crystal of topaz with an orange to sherry color that this locality is known for. It has been repaired, which is common with the larger crystals sometimes. The termination and form are textbook, the luster is great and the color is fabulous.
A wonderful specimen of textbook, clear topaz crystals to 4.2 cm sit on a matrix of white albite blades and minor quartz. All over the matrix there are doubly terminated orange childrenite crystals averaging 5 MM. The topaz is so clear you can see the matrix underneath, and the specimen is in exceptional condition.
A gem quality very pale blue terminated topaz crystal associated with iron stained quartz crystals and a smaller topaz. Two things of note. These are sometimes called silver topaz…and it is rare to find them with associations or on matrix. Choice crystal!
Wonderful hexagonal crystals of reddish brown vanadinite to 1 cm coating both sides of a barite matrix. Beautiful large specimen. The luster, contrast and form are first rate.
Super bypiramidal tan crystals of wardite to 9 MM associated with a fan of esophorite crystals and 2 MM groups of zanazziite crystals ( a very rare calcium iron magnesium berylium phosphate), all on a matrix of large deep rose quartz crystals that are sprinkled by a secondary druse of quartz. A spectacular old timer from Taquaral.
Gemmy bright yellow, barrel shaped crystals of the cadmium variety of willemite. Most of the cadmium willemite have an acicular crystal habit, so its very rare to find actual well formed crystals.
A group of jet black prismatic crystals of wodginite with a bit of matrix attached. Excellent example of this rare manganese tin oxide that includes the rare element tantalum.
Amber colored, translucent and lustrous platy crystals of wulfenite aesthetically poised at the tip of a rusty colored calcite matrix. Some of the crystals have micro chipping that is visible with magnification, but they are very sharp none the less. Largest crystal is 1.5 cm across. Very attractive specimen.
