A textbook, hexagonal crystal of the ruby variety of corundum is aesthetically posed on a mica schist matrix. The crystal measures 2.8 cm and is exceptional for this obscure locality.

A choice specimen of lustrous medium purple sharp crystals of creedite forming beautiful sprays. Ex John Barlow piece with his label.

A bright red single bipyramidal octahedron of cuprite with exceptional mirror luster and translucency, sits on a matrix with minor chrysocholla.

A group of octahedral cuprite crystals sit in the middle of an intergrown conglomerate of copper replacing bi-pyramidal octahedrons of cuprite. Excellent example of this pseudomorph.

A specimen of cuprite crystals on matrix with a secondary layer of acicular chalcotrichite crystals on one side of the specimen coating the primary cuprites. Great red color.

A single crystal of chromium diopside with a textbook termination, gemmy green color and super luster. Displays well from any side.

A marvelous “cast” of dioptase crystals hosts a few small yellow mimetite crystals. From a find of earlier this year. There appears to be two distinct generations of dioptase in this one.

A bright green “cast” of dioptase holds a few elongated bright yellow mimetite crystals. Super miniature from this recent find

A very gemmy and lustrous, bright green, doubly terminated elbaite prism sits on a larger crystal that’s associated with smaller (also terminated) crystals. Displays beautifully!

A highly unusual elbaite specimen composed of two main compound crystals made up of many pinacoidal crystals with a fibrous nature, in parallel growth. The color is a dark greenish grey and the luster is very good. As you will notice one of the main crystals grew against the matrix, creating a flat, hindered termination.
