Lustrous, blocky prismatic crystals of hemimorphite associated with medium green botryoidal malachite and mamillary coronadite. Some minor natural iron staining gives it the yellowish zones.

A beautiful, doubly terminated lime green herderite crystal measuring 1.4 cm with good luster and some geminess, sits on a matrix of the cleavlandite variety of albite. The rear of the specimen displays 3 gemmy quartz crystals, all also doubly terminated. No damage to any of the three species, and the herderite is a little gem.

A magnificent example of non pseudomorphous, curved crystals of malachite with a bright green color and great crystal size. On one end you can find micro cuprite crystals. Acquired from Gilbert Gauthier when the country was known as Zaire.

A specimen of acicular and blocky crystals of malachite on matrix. This a very rare and excellent example from this obscure California locale and, based on the literature. Found earlier than 1977, probably in the late 50’s. California collectors should love this one.

A very colorful specimen comprised of forest green acicular crystals of  malachite forming spheres intermixed with greenish (zincian?) dolomite and clear calcites. One area shows a group of calcites that are included by a bluish green mineral.

Bright orange botryoidal mimetite on matrix associated with whiteish barite blades (there’s a beautiful flowery formation in the center). The rear of the specimens offers chalky crystals of cerussite red crystalline minium and orange wulfenites.

Bright yellow, gemmy prismatic crystals of lustrous mimetite sit on a medium green matrix of duftite crystals, white dolomites and colorless micro mimetites (unusual). Very attractive hand size specimen.

Very sharp, twinned crystals of orthoclase colored green from inclusions of chlorite. An alpine classic!

Medium to dark blue spheroidal groups and coatings of compact plumbogummite crystals over yellow pyromorphite crystals that sit on a white matrix. One contact on a sphere shows the radiating nature of the minerals. The color on this batch of specimens rivals the best I have ever seen for the species.

Pastel green prehnite sprinkled with glassy micro apophyllites has completely replaced elongated laumontite crystals, leaving hollow prisms that are joined at varying angles. With ss much material as there is coming from India, these are relatively rare now and not an easy find .
