Yes, it's this red! Numerous small chalcotrichite included calcites have grown upon dark rich matrix to form

Himalaya Mine, Mesa Grande District, San Diego Co., California
Overall Size: 6.9 x 1.3 cm

This is as pretty a pink as you will see from the Himalaya dike. Countless finds of various colors come from
the famous mine, but this almost burnt pink stands apart, also it is gem quality! Both ends are terminated
for a length of 6.9 x 1.3 cm. If you like pegmatite minerals you will love this one! Images are accurate.

S6917 - Hematite - SOLD
Brumado Mine, Bahia, Brazil
Overall Size: 6.7 x 5.7 cm
|
|
|
|
Here we have a very fine hematite! For a brittle species, it is in absolute pristine condition, no damage along
the sides where we would expect some chipping, total floater! If my memory is correct these were found in the
1970's. Splendid bright grouping of crystals, don't miss out!

adds greatly to the contrast or mineralogical interest from the locale.

S6920 - Diopside on Graphite - $375 SOLD
Merelani Hills, Arusha, Tanzania
Overall Size: 5.6 x 4.5 cm
|
|
Gemmy and glassy abundant lime-green crystals up to about 1.5 cm almost completely cover a graphite
surface. Clusters or bunched groupings of diopside with matrix are rare because miners crush specimens
in search of gem rough! Great pick for the miniature collection.
