S5874 - Sphalerite - $600
Shuikoushan Mine, Hunan Province, China
Overall Size: 10 x 6.5 cm
Big gemmy internally rich deep red ball shaped sphalerite positioned perfectly on the upper part of
drusy quartz matrix of a sizeable 10 x 6.5 cm. The large crystal is 4 cm across, it must be said that
the luster is killer! Very choice for the contemporary mineral ranking with the best for the species,
a must see. Truly a remarkable piece that would look good upright in a case like the photo, no
damage!

S5875 - Mimetite - $475
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia
Overall Size: 7 x 3.7 cm
Strong colorful sprays of 1.7 cm in length rest upon a matrix of 7 x 3.7 cm in overall size. Extremely
stunning for a visual display being one of the more popular species and sought by collectors, fewer
have been available for sale within the last few years, as Tsumeb is in great demand. Smart dealers
can see the writing on the wall with this mine, the longer you wait the more it will cost!

like blue coral, sure to light up the display.

about the piece is the quartz xtls of about 4 cm long are fairly large and transparent for the
