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

A wonderful TN specimen consisting of medium green cuprian smithsonite prisms sitting on a reticulated cerussite twin.

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 sharp TN specimen of the rare yttrium phosphate xenotime, with excellent luster and a pleasing medium brown color. What makes this TN even even rarer is the fact that we have two crystals in parallel growth (don’t think it’s a twin) which is very unique since most of the time the crystals occur as singles. Super TN!

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!
