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.
A light pink,euhedral and complete crystal of the morganite variety of beryl with highly lustrous , well defined faces and glassy transparency sits on a muscovite matrix with minor albite, cookeite and cassiterite. Exceptional miniature from this world reknown locality and a find for those that collect beryls and/or gem crystals!
An orange to reddish (some look like they are coated or included with black sulfides) doubly sided specimen of smithsonite crystals that are sprinkled with tiny drusy off white calcite crystals.
A lustrous, perfectly terminated single crystal of celestite with a bluish grey to color and a very gemmy termination. The sides of the crystal show some flattened additional crystals in parallel growth. Superb!
A lustrous,well defined tan colored Cerussite V twinned crystal with a smaller crystal attached at the base. In excellent condition, with very minor imperfections at the edges. Textbook crystal and exceptional example of this type of twinning.
A group of reticulated twinned crystals of cerussite to 3.5 cm (!) on matrix. The crystals are gemmy and in perfect shape. The matrix consists of dark sulfides and some very sharp tiny prisms of smithsonite. Choice! A major acquisition for the Tsumeb collector.
Branching, very sharp elongated crystals (octahedrons?) of copper with a bit of quartz attached and a wonderful patina. Exceptional copper miniature.
