Stout lustrous white blades of barite intermixed with gemmy calcite prisms on matrix.  This mine is only worked during the summer and is still active, but we see very few specimens from here.

A light yellow group of transparent barite crystals forming a pretty flowery arrangement, sit on a matrix of milky quartz crystals. Closed locality.

White bladed crystals of barite partially and selectively coat the sides of grayish opaque quartz crystals. Displays from all sides. Defunct locality that produced magnificent specimens last century.

A very aesthetic branching formation of amber barite crystals partially covered by sparkling pyrites on one side and selectively on the other side. New find from Poland.

A bi-colored naturally etched beryl crystal (pastel blue and pink) sits inside a pastel greyish cast of biotite crystals. Herb’s label says aquamarine, but I believe the center of the crystal runs towards pink morganite. One of the most unique specimens I have ever encountered. * For some reason I could not get blue color correctly on photos, they appear greener than they are, instead of blue.

A group of very gemmy, highly lustrous light tan crystals of calcite on a matrix of smaller calcites. One very minor blemish on one edge of the crystals, otherwise perfect.

A white calcite scalenohedron is coated by a second generation of smaller crystals. In perfect condition and fluoresces a beautiful orange-red.

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

Very sharp, lustrous and clear crystals of calcite sit on a dolomite cast with an almost invisible greenish cast. Old Lesnicks (from NY) specimen.

A beautiful group of clear to white calcites sit on a matrix of transparent lustrous yellow fluorite crystals.
