S6320 - Pyrargyrite with Calcite - SOLD
Proano Mine, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico
Overall Size: 5.5 x 4.7 cm
Very good sharp bright shiny blackish-red grouping of pyrargyrite measuring 1.7 cm across sits up
well against pleasing orange crystallized calcite matrix of 5.5 x 4.7 cm in overall size. Usually
the species crystallizes in a solid mass without contrast or any color, here you have a rare silver
mineral that is quite appealing, definitely not an ugly rock!

S6321 - Chalcocite - $950
Flambeau Mine, Ladysmith, Wisconsin
Overall Size: 4.4 x 4 cm
Pleasing coating of thin purplish-blue patina on opaque crystals up to 2.5 cm in length are clustered
nicely forming a specimen of 4.4 x 4 cm in overall size. This relatively new find, as far as minerals
go, is one of the best for the species and super examples like this piece will only become rarer with
time. Excellent crystallization for the well-known copper sulfide, attractive compared to others too,
so take advantage!

S6322 - Cobaltian Smithsonite - SOLD
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia
Overall Size: 5.3 x 4.2 cm
Lustrous well placed medium pink complex smithsonites form round clusters of about 2.5 cm across
on the top half of the matrix measuring 5.3 x 4.2 cm in overall size. Only the famous Tsumeb mine has
produced pieces as good as the one seen here. Fine mineral of value.

S6323 - Cerussite with Dioptase - $250 SOLD
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia
Overall Size: 6 x 3.2 cm
Sparkling rich deep emerald-green dioptase crystals completely line a thin calcite plate with gemmy
colorless cerussites up to 0.7 cm in length growing from the matrix that measures 6 x 3.2 cm in
overall size, super rare association, sought after by many collectors, but hard to find. Both minerals
are very popular and on the same piece! What more could you ask for? Striking quality, a must see,
very attractive.

S6324 - Londonite - $1800
Antsongombato Mine, Morafeno, Madagascar
Overall Size: 8 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm
Fantastic transparent to translucent bright lemon-yellow isolated main crystal of 2.7 x 2 cm in size sits
perfectly upon the mid portion of pegmatite matrix measuring a good 8 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm in size. It is
a huge londonite xtl for the find! Displays quite well sideways without a stand. Production has greatly
slowed down, just a matter of time before the initial find becomes scarce. This is a really fine piece
worth getting!

S6325 - Quartz cast after Calcite - $125
Pine Creek Tungsten Mine, Inyo County, California
Overall Size: 3.7 x 2.5 cm
Razor sharp edges of lustrous white quartz epimorphs after calcite forming a complete crystal on the
outside yet hollow on the inside. The strange cross hatching shows rhombohedral structure from a
very thin coating of calcite, or so I am told. Piece is 3.7 x 2.5 cm in overall size, peculiar oddity.
|
S6326 - Peridot - $650 SOLD
Supat, Dusso, Pakistan
Overall Size: 5 x 4 cm
Glassy transparent rich deep green crystals up to 2.2 cm in length sit nicely upon other xtls of 5 x 4
cm in size. This miniature has a perched main prism and neat pointed termination in addition to
strong overall color tone, desirable popular mineral.
|
S6327 - Malachite after Azurite - $250
Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona
Overall Size: 5.2 x 5 cm
Great partial pseudo! Interesting alteration pattern as some azure-blue terminations are pristine with
other velvet like dark rich green malachite replacing most side prisms. This one is pretty good for the
price, measures 5.2 x 5 cm in overall size. Spectacular mix of colors to light up the display, historic
locale.
|
S6328 - Titanite - $450 SOLD
Gerental, Wallis, Switzerland
Overall Size: 5.3 x 1.3 cm
Classic alpine mineral! Large complete on all sides without damage loose floater of 5.3 x 1.3 cm in
overall size has chlorite inclusions typical for pieces from the alps. As you can see from the label
it is from an older find. Very fine in person, xtl size exceptional.
|
S6329 - Azurite - SOLD
Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona
Overall Size: 3.5 x 2 cm
Chiseled termination atop a long loose green and blue azurite crystal of 3.5 x 2 cm in dimension. Really
choice toenail at a fair price, now is the time to buy! Bisbee will only become harder to obtain overtime.
|
S6330 - Pyrite on Quartz - $115
Gyonyos, Hungary
Overall Size: 6 x 5.5 cm
Brilliant and shiny metallic druse of brassy like microcrystals partially cover a spray measuring 6 x 5.5
cm in overall size. Pyrite over almost all of the qtz makes the piece, looks like iron quartz! Stunning!
|
S6331 - Fluorite with Calcite - $75

Overall Size: 5.5 x 3.6 cm
Gemmy sharp yellow cubes with purple overgrowth reach up to 1.5 cm in length and sit nicely with
opaque white calcites for a specimen of 5.5 x 3.6 cm in size. Good miniature of two minerals that
go well together.
