A water clear, slightly smoky, striated twinned crystal of quartz that is in perfect condition and complete all the way around. A textbook example of Japan Law twinning in quartz!

Gemmy smoky quartz crystals sit on a layerof very dark purple fluorite. The crystals are sprinkled with white quartz, purple fluorites and blue apatite crystals. There are some damaged crystals that do not really affect the overall display quality of the piece. This was a one time find in the 90’s and no more have come out.

A doubly terminated, highly lustrous dark smoky quartz crystal, is host to scattered gemmy orange spessartine crystals. The quartz is transparent under very strong light.

Very clear and lustrous, intergrown quartz crystals with inclusions of blue ajoite, platy specular hematite and red lepidocrocite. largest crystal is 3.5 cm.

Smoky crystal of quartz with a coating of lustrous crystals of specular hematite, are sprinkled with tan dolomite crystals. A classic from the Florence Mine.

A superb, slightly smoky, gemmy quartz crystal sprinkled with equally gemmy lustrous orange red spessartine crystals. This is a doubly terminated quartz crystal with a prismatic tapering termination on one end and a healed termination on the other end.

Bright and gemmy red, lustrous prisms of rhodochrosite to 2.5 cm, with a little manganite attached at the bottom. All the crystals in the center are oerfect, with the only contact being in the periphery. Fabulous miniature from this find of the 70’s.

Cherry red, very lustrous transparent prismatic crystals of rhodochrosite averaging 3 MM, on a black manganese matrix. The black  manganese underneath gives the specimen its darker hue.

Lustrous and gemmy red prisms of rhodochrosite on matrix. Notice the clear fluorites at the top right of the specimen.

Extremely sharp and deep lustrous red, gemmy scalenohedral crystals of rhodochrosite on a bit of matrix. Most of the crystals have a basal termination and only one on the edge is not perfect. A great TN!
