Pastel to medium yellow green scalenohedral prisms of smithsonite coating a three dimensional thin matrix. Pretty!

A very gemmy, lustrous lime-green crystal of the cuprian variety of smithsonite.

A single complete crystal of manganotantalite with a little mica in the center of the crystal. Wonderful orange-red color.  Old time Eastern locality.

A single yellowish green blocky crystals of vesuvianite.

A lustrous, well terminated single crystal of vesuvianite with a beautiful lime green color.

Bright blue translucent vivianite crystals with bits of matrix (probably fairfieldite) attached. Fairly large crystals for the locality which produces mostly micros.

A very gemmy zoizite crystal (this one has been treated like all tanzanites are) with a wonderful termination, excellent luster and the trichroic color change. There is a microscopic ding on one side of the C face, otherwise it is a perfect and facetable TN!
