Beautiful gemmy blades of albite with a pastel lavender-pink color on an albite matrix. A one time find from 2014, and probably the prettiest albite crystals ever.
A group of olive brown andradite crystals completely coat a doubly terminated quartz crystal. A floater with no point of attachement.
Brilliant yellow-orange crystals of topazolite on matrix. Exceptional luster and color. It glows!
A highly aesthetic and marvelous specimen composed of very sharp and lustrous pastel blue anglesite prisms that have been colored by Cu inclusions. Some minor duftite at the tip.
Glassy clear to pastel yellow crystals of anglesite partially coated with a sandy coating, giving the piece a colorful look. Actually an uncommon find from this locality in Mexico. Crystallized all the way around and a few contacts on the periphery.
A spectacular group of very lustrous, deep blue azurite crystals with minor malachite. This pocket was 15 by 10 meters (but very narrow) and the specimens were attached to the wall by fibrous malachite, that’s why they resemble “floaters”. The mine owners cemented the pocket entrance with three trucks of concrete, but some had been collected prior to that and I was very lucky (being near the source) to have my pick of the best miniatures and TNS. Nothing of any significance has been found since the summer of 2013. As commonly seen with azurite, the photos do not do the specimens justice.
