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!

Clear and lustrous, intergrown calcite crystals on a reddish brown matrix of dolomite, with minor duftite. Pretty specimen.

Three groups of flowery white calcite crystals with grey tips (from sulfide inclusions) sit on a straw yellow dolomite matrix. Aesthetic specmen.

Very sharp, straw colored prisms of calcite associated with bluish fluorite cubes, minor rhodochrosite and thin needle-like quartz crystals.

Clear calcite rhombs with a bit of malachite sit on on a creamy dolomite stalactite.

Sharp and gemmy lustrous prisms of pastel yellow calcite on a matrix of light dolomite rhombs that are sprinkled with dark green olivenite spheres. Unusual habit for olivenite.

A crown of translucent, brownish black lustrous crystals of cassiterite sit on the tip of a silvery, brilliant group of arsenopyrites with minor muscovite. Another cassiterite group and some siderites sit at the rear of the piece. Super display piece from this classic locale!

Very deep root beer colored cubes of fluorite intermixed with white celestite blades. Notice that the edges are translucent. Old classic from the midwest!

A beautiful, lustrous and gemmy, smoky twinned crystal of cerussite sits on a matrix of pinkish dolomite crystals. The rera of the specimen is loaded with yellow acicular tsumcorite crystals.

Sharp cyclical twins of cerussite scattered on a matrix of galena that is amply coated by very sharp crystals of smithsonite. There are also orange yellow micro crystals on the surface that have not been identified, maybe tsumcorite (?)
