A very gemmy, colorless goshenite crystals with great luster and a wonderful textbook termination is dotted on one side by a tan apatite crystal. Apatite FL. a weak orange under UV light.

Clear to white, textbook hexagonal prisms of goshenite intermixed with jet black crystals of schorl. Believe these came out around 2006.

A light pink, hexagonal morganite prism with well defined faces and a small elbaite embedded on one of the faces. Choice crystal with beautiful symetry!

A 2 cm gemmy and lustrous aquamarine sits right next to a 1.5 cm twinned balck cassiterite, all on a matrix of light yellow blades of muscovite and minor albite. Very attractive large miniature.

Iridescent compound crystals of bornite on a matrix of golden calcites and micro quartz crystals. The specimen is a floater, crystallized on all sides.

Very sharp, slightly iridescent crystals of bornite on a matrix of micro quartz crystals.

A very gemmy, bright yellow brazilianite prism measuring 2 cm sits on a nicely contrasting greyish quartz crystal. Sharp!

Very sharp golden scalenohedrons of calcite on a calcite matrix. A former Zn-F(fluorspar)-Pb occurrence/mine located about 8.0 km WNW of Rosiclare (Hardin County) along the Pope County-Hardin County line, on private land. Owned & operated by the Minerva Oil Company (100%), Illinois (1973).  A rather obscure calcite locality. Also credited to the Kentucky Fluorspar Dist.

A pair of water clear prisms of calcite on matrix. There’s a tiny nick on one of the terminations. This little guy was found during an excavation near the airport in Skardu, and I don’t think there’ll be any more. A find for the serious calcite collector!
