Pech, Nuristan, Afghanistan
Overall Size: 5.5 x 4.5 cm

Beautiful complete floater of rich deep blue tourmaline! Indicolite from Afghanistan is one of the top localities
for the color. When viewed from the front the width is a key factor as most are slender pencils. Definitely worth
getting to fill the gap or add to your duplicates suite.

Nicely striated, well terminated, very glassy rich deep pink single crystal of 5.5 x 1.7 cm in size has a great

|
|
Lustrous brassy yellow pyritohedrons up to 2 cm across have grown with gemmy prismatic qtz crystals

Overall Size: 14 x 8.5 cm
|
|
|
Spectacular cabinet piece! Large light yellow half sphere of barite measuring 9 cm in length sits atop sharp
glassy rich deep purple fluorites reaching 2.2 cm across. During the productive days of this famous mine
fluorite poured out; however, the combo was quite rare compared to the vast majority of specimens, perfect
aesthetic balls are fairly uncommon as well, in fine condition.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Richly saturated and lustrous half spheres of deep blue azurites up to 2.3 cm across sitting upon lively green
botryoidal malachite matrix, rare combo for the locality and seldom for sale as the label (note the father
George Bideaux's label) indicates a pricey sum for this piece during the 1950's. No damage.

Numerous elongate crystals almost entirely line brown matrix measuring 7 x 4 cm in overall size, these xls

see the color and contrast is eye catching.

Tongbei, Fujian Province, China
Overall Size: 6.7 x 2.8 cm

be the case once the deposit has been depleted, wise to grab it!
