Pastel blue, radiating fans to 6 MM, of the cuprian variety of adamite on a limonite matrix that’s very similar to that of the Ojuela Mine.

A highly aesthetic and marvelous specimen composed of very sharp and lustrous pastel blue anglesite prisms that have been colored by Cu inclusions. Some minor duftite at the tip.

Light pink, very gemmy and lustrous hexagonal prisms of apatite to 1.1 cm, with minor muscovite attached on one side. The only contact is natural and in the rear!

Very gemmy, colorless hexagonal crystals of apatite on a spodumene crystal that has been replaced by cookeite crystals. Some minor feldspar crystals are also attached.

Tabular, very sharp crystals of apophyllite that range from clear to a reddish brown color caused by inclusions of hematite, on a matrix sprinkled with specular hematite.

Beautiful pastel translucent needle sprays of aragonite crystals adorning the tip of an aragonite cave stalactite.

Brilliant dark electric blue crystals of azurite on a white matrix with a smidgeon of malachite. This thing glows when you put a light on it. Crazy luster, color and form!

A spectacular group of very lustrous, deep blue azurite crystals with minor malachite. This pocket was 15 by 10 meters (but very narrow) and the specimens were attached to the wall by fibrous malachite, that’s why they resemble “floaters”. The mine owners cemented the pocket entrance with three trucks of concrete, but some had been collected prior to that and I was very lucky (being near the source) to have my pick of the best miniatures and TNS. Nothing of any significance has been found since the summer of 2013. As commonly seen with azurite, the photos do not  do the specimens justice.
