S9208 - Dioptase - $1200 SOLD
Omaue Mine, Kaokoveld, Namibia
Overall Size: 4.3 x 1 cm
|
|
|
|
Gigantic dioptase crystal! Over the last year or so malachite and shattuckite have been coming from this
locality but little dioptase until a small handful of newly mined pieces surfaced a few months ago. Photos
say it all, a near floater rich in deep emerald-green color measuring 4.3 x 1 cm in size, collect miniatures?
This damage free single crystal approaching the near maximum size for the species is superb!

S9213 - Silver - $700 SOLD
Cebada Mine, Guanajuato, Mexico
Overall Size: 4.2 x 2 cm
|
|
|
|
New find! Very fine smooth wires twist artistically forming a highly aesthetic arrangement that
measures 4.2 x 2 cm in overall size, rare from this celebrated locality which usually produces
other outstanding silver minerals, but not the native element itself, in fact rope like wires are
hardly seen from Mexico. Few good samples known, not to miss!

Overall Size: 2.1 x 1.3 cm
|
|
|
Choice slender twisted wires measuring 2.1 x 1.3 cm in overall size prop up great as a thumbnail,
pleasing patina and luster seen on only certain silvers. Super tn for Mexican material.

Omaue Mine, Kaokoveld, Namibia
Overall Size: 3.2 x 1 cm
|
|
Stunningly good prism from a limited new find of rich deep emerald-green color within this dioptase
measuring 3.2 x 1 cm in overall size, very full thumbnail/toenail of perhaps the most sought after
copper species. Rarely do we see long crystals from any locality, wonderful elongated shape.

Overall Size: 2 x 1.3 cm
|
|
|

Lustrous smooth wires twist from a small crystallized quartz matrix for a highly aesthetic thumbnail

S9209 - Azurite with Dolomite - SOLD
Touissit Mine, Oujda, Morocco
Overall Size: 9 x 6.5 cm
|
|
|
|
Great doubly terminated azure-blue crystal of 3 cm tall and 1.7 cm across projects from typical pale pink
dolomite. The color intensity from dark to light is unreal with the backside mimicking the front in a 3
dimensional sculptural form. Azurites also are isolated from the surrounding matrix which allow stark
contrast, aesthetically positioned, a must see. No damage.

S9216 - Azurite - $400
Touissit Mine, Oujda, Morocco
Overall Size: 4.8 x 2.3 cm
|
|
|
|
Nicely mounted long slender rich blue crystal measuring 3.2 cm in length. Today specimens are rare
from the area, part of the value with pieces from the mine is the high level of quality making this one
a worthwhile pick. I wouldn't expect to find another in this size for a better asking price.

S9218 - Azurite - $250
Touissit Mine, Oujda, Morocco
Overall Size: 3.1 x 3 cm
|
|
|
Incredible gleaming high luster electric-blue azurites sit crossing one another as a full toenail, 3.1
x 3 cm. A vague description cannot convey the magnificent level of quality when held in hand, absolutely
pristine! Minor amount of pretty oxidized matrix. In good condition, a must see.

Alto Ligonha, Mozambique
Overall Size: 1.6 x 1.4 cm
|
|
Great semitransparent striated twin of rich red color and tabular form, 1.6 x 1.4 cm. Unparalleled luster
when rotated in hand along with striking coloration for the species from the well-known pegmatites.
