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 multicolored, beautifully terminated, lustrous single crystal of elbaite with gemmy areas and a pair of smaller crystals and minor mica attached on one side. The colors range from yellow to orange to a brownish red. It might be better to call this tourmaline, since there are dravites that come from this locality also that resemble this one, but the old labels said elbaite. An important crystal from this obscure locality!

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!
