A jet-black lustrous schorl crystal penetrates a group of clear, lightly smoky quartz crystals. Fabulous piece in exceptional condition!

Tan siderite crystals completely replacing calcite rhombohedrons, on a matrix of galena crystals.

Exceptional rhombohedral crystals of smithsonite with deep yellow centers and zoned lighter edges. The temptation is to label it cadmium, but I don’t believe that it is accurate since most Tsumeb smithsonites labeled “cadmium” are pure guesses by collectors and dealers. Wonderful color, zoning and luster on this one, not to mention good sized and well defined crystals.

Light yellow prisms of smithsonite with a second generation of smaller crystals that give the specimen a marvelous drusy sparkle, associated with prismatic crystals of willemite. Fabulous smithsonite from this closed locality.

Bright and gemmy amber crystals of sphalerite sprinkled with chalcopyrite on a matrix of yellow dolomite crystals. Displays very well!

Wonderful hexagonal crystals of reddish brown vanadinite to 1 cm coating both sides of a barite matrix. Beautiful large specimen. The luster, contrast and form are first rate.

Super bypiramidal tan crystals of wardite to 9 MM associated with a fan of esophorite crystals and 2 MM groups of zanazziite crystals ( a very rare calcium iron magnesium berylium phosphate), all on a matrix of large deep rose quartz crystals that are sprinkled by a secondary druse of quartz. A spectacular old timer from Taquaral.

Lustrous, butterscotch blocky crystals of wulfenite on a matrix of white calcite. Superb color on this one.

Amber colored, translucent and lustrous platy crystals of wulfenite aesthetically poised at the tip of a rusty colored calcite matrix. Some of the crystals have micro chipping that is visible with magnification, but they are very sharp none the less. Largest crystal is 1.5 cm across. Very attractive specimen.
