S6626 - Cerussite with Quartz - $425 SOLD
Grand Reef Mine, Graham County, Arizona
Overall Size: 7.5 x 5.2 cm
Resplendent razor sharp striated white cerussite of 1.7 cm in length sits perfectly centered in an
iron-stained red drusy quartz vug exhibiting sharp contrast rarely seen in matrix specimens for
the species! The other notable characteristic is no xtl damage because many crystals shatter
while being collected due to the hard qtz rock. Measures: 7.5 x 5.2 cm in overall size. Atypical
for this well-known U.S. locale!

S6627 - Azurite - SOLD
Juanita Tunnel, Socorro County, New Mexico
Overall Size: 4.8 x 4.5 cm
Bright lustrous well crystallized rich deep blue crystals almost completely cover brown matrix
of 4.8 x 4.5 cm in overall size, truly a good rock for the locality or azurite collector.

S6628 - Wulfenite - $235 SOLD
Helena Mine, Slovenia
Overall Size: 7.5 x 5.3 cm
Richly saturated glassy medium orange crystals up to about 1.2 cm in length have formed a solid
crystallized mass measuring 7.5 x 5.3 cm in size. For this classic mine, it's one of the most sought
after places for wulfenite, very popular. Several xtls enrich the specimen, old timer.

S6629 - Manganoan Calcite - $135 SOLD
Pachapaqui, Ancash Department, Peru
Overall Size: 6.5 x 6 cm
Neat opaque light pink crystals up to 1.7 cm in length spray out from all directions for a grouping of
6.5 x 6 cm in overall size. Once fairly common during Peru's output of many various minerals, this
isn't the case today as specimen production has been slow. A good price, damage free!

S6630 - Malachite - SOLD
Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona
Overall Size: 7.3 x 4.2 cm
Very classy soft velvet looking rich green half sphere of 1.2 cm across sitting midway upon matrix of
7.3 x 4.2 cm in size, some minor blue azurite, but I would say this is more of a malachite specimen,
and quite good for the price. The chatoyant luster is indicative of Bisbee, from an old collection.

S6631 - Colemanite - $50
Boron, Kern County, California
Overall Size: 9.5 x 5 cm
Gemmy razor sharp edges on crystals of 1.3 cm in length have grown upon matrix measuring 9.5 x 5
cm in overall size with a few broken xtls. Let's face it, we aren't talking about a world killer here, good
cheap example of the common calcium borate.

S6632 - Fluorite - $600 SOLD
Xianghualing Mine, Hunan Province, China
Overall Size: 10.3 x 9.5 cm
Spectacular play of colors in this perfect plate measuring 10.3 x 9.5 cm in overall size. The largest
octahedron reaches 4.2 cm across and is undamaged. These unique purple/green combos came
out about 6 years ago making it older Chinese material, sounds weird to say with all the minerals
pouring out of the country, but initial finds are already increasing in value! Photos are exact,
displays well.

S6633 - Smithsonite - $375 SOLD
Berg Aukas Mine, Grootfontein, Namibia
Overall Size: 8.3 x 8 cm
Pearly luster well developed light yellow cluster of crystals up to 2.5 cm in length sit nicely on a
matrix measuring 8.3 x 8 cm in size. Nice hand sized rock that would look great in a cabinet,
fairly translucent to transparent too!
|
S6634 - Vanadinite with Calcite - SOLD
San Carlos Mine, Chihuahua, Mexico
Overall Size: 3.8 x 3.5 cm
Highly glassy hexagonal prisms of the rarer vivid orange color sit frozen in gemmy calcite matrix that
measures 3.8 x 3.5 cm in size, backside is well crystallized, front overall image shows some greatly
magnified basal contacts, adjusting my photo to actual size will illustrate this point for those who know
how. From the early period of mining, pretty contrast!
|
S6635 - Quartz - SOLD
Glenwood, Pike County, Arkansas
Overall Size: 12.1 x 6.2 cm
Large thick glassy transparent colorless quartz crystal measuring a good 12.1 x 6.2 cm in overall
size, choice steep termination showing internal clarity as well as depth of crystal, showy for sure!
|
S6636 - Azurite with Malachite - $175
Bou Azzer, Morocco
Overall Size: 5.7 x 3.3 cm
Pleasing rock to look at! Super luster on this isolated azurite of 1.3 cm in length sitting perfectly
enveloped with rich deep saturated green malachite matrix of 5.7 x 3.3 cm in size. From early
production, just released out of a collection, would make for a colorful addition! No damage.

Overall Size: 3.7 x 0.7 cm
Quite gemmy and sharp prismatic crystals in parallel growth of 3.7 x 0.7 cm in overall size,
good for the size range, nice pure color, well developed multiple faces at the termination.
