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 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.

A fabulous sceptered elbaite crystal with a pink stem and a gemmy, bright green termination (the crystal is actually double terminated). These were found about 13 years ago and are considered some of the finest examples of tourmalines scepters ever. As you can see, the tip is facetable, has magnificent deep green color and a textbook termination. Choice!
