S5862 - Stibnite with Barite - $650 SOLD
Herja Mine, Baia Mare, Maramures, Romania
Overall Size: 10.7 x 7.5 cm
Brilliant high luster metallic looking blades up to 3.5 cm in length spray out of massive sulfide matrix
of 10.7 x 7.5 cm in overall size. Wonderful colorless barites are attached alongside prism faces for
added appeal, rare combo, unlike the more common stibnite/calcite associations from China, similar
looking, but not as common. As expected a few crystals are not complete near the base, trivial,
typical for the species in spray form. Really good showy plate for the case!

Classic alpine material of good quality! Numerous gemmy brownish-orange crystals partially grow
upon and intermixed with attractive light green clinochlores for a matrix specimen measuring 8 x

just look at the photo.

S5866 - Topaz - SOLD
Murzinka, Ural Mountains, Russia
Overall Size: 4 x 2 cm
As the old label says: "Choice blue gem crystal." The price of $60 was a lot of money for this mineral
in the early 60's. Quite fine for the celebrated historic mining locality, internally flawless, top color, and
great sharp well defined xtl faces, side has some damage, but can be displayed from both sides so it
isn't visible. Size: 4 x 2 cm. Uncommon on today's market, really a good gem crystal worth the price.

S5867 - Azurite - $600
Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona
Overall Size: 4.5 x 3.2 cm
Super round aesthetic clusters of intense rich deep blue sit stacked together on a very small brown
matrix underneath for a perfect miniature of 4.5 x 3.2 cm in overall size. This type of azurite from the
mine has excellent luster and many tiny malachite after cuprites scattered about. Very 3 dimensional
from the sides, photographed looking down, so much more crisp in hand, no damage.

several different ways. Knowledgeable collectors are well aware of galena being desirable especially
from Dal'negorsk because of such a high level of quality, not to miss!

S5870 - Elbaite - $200 SOLD
Swakopmund, Namibia
Overall Size: 4 x 1.5 cm
Excellent locality! Doubly terminated single glassy brownish-yellow prism measuring 4 x 1.5 cm in
overall size. A few contacted areas, trivial for how rare of a gem it is, especially this color from the
pegmatites, probably from the 60's, judging by the label. A good tourmaline worth owning.
