Lustrous, gemmy, and damage free intense canary-yellow crystals are scattered over a matrix of 3.8

S8440 - Scheelite with Fluorite - $250
Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan Province, China
Overall Size: 7.5 x 4.2 cm
Highly lustrous well exposed light brown scheelite of 1.7 cm in length sits perfectly upon shiny quartz
of 7.5 x 4.2 cm in size, rare enough of an association, but the classy colors are of import in my opinion.
Two common minerals both very popular and on the same piece, what more could you ask for? A must
see!

S8441 - Chrome Cerussite - $375
Magnet Mine, Dundas, Tasmania, Australia
Overall Size: 6.5 x 4.7 cm
Beautiful yellow coloration due to the presence of chromium in these many lustrous cerussites.
Upon close examination one can see red crocoite intermixed, just interesting to note. From an
old collection with accompanying dealer label, few ever pop up for sale, so grab it if interested.

S8442 - Malachite after Azurite - $375
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia
Overall Size: 2.8 x 2.5 cm
Great pristine pseudo! The typical classic alteration seen in crystals from the mine with azure-blue
corners and velvet like dark rich green malachite replacing the prism sides setting off the piece.
Razor sharp edges also form a chiseled termination for a competion level thumbnail having lots
of color.

S8443 - Sulfur - $1300
Cozzodisi Mine, Agrigento Province, Sicily, Italy
Overall Size: 9.5 x 7.5 cm
Gem bright yellow sulfur nuggets up to almost 2 cm long sit in a somewhat concave aragonite matrix
forming a colorful arrangement, material from Cozzodisi is from the early days of mining and not to
be confused with the new material we recently brought out of Sicily. Hard to find good consistent
quality as numerous specimens show crazed xtl sections, not the case here all gemmy. Perfect for
exhibiting since few species have the saturated color for the specific purpose of being showy. Size:
9.5 x 7.5 cm.

Orange River, Karas Region, Namibia
Overall Size: 5.2 x 4.5 cm
Photos say it all! Incredible red color with perfect razor sharp corners to form a cluster of 5.2 x 4.5
cm in size. This unique coloration is only seen in a very tiny percentage of worldwide specimens
when compared to the more typical shades of red/brown.
|
S8445 - Demantoid - $625 SOLD
Karibib, Erongo Region, Namibia
Overall Size: 2.2 x 2.1 cm
I cannot emphasize enough the 3 dimensionality of this rich deep green garnet crystal of 2.2 x 2.1
cm in size that has a super aesthetic trapezohedral shape without matrix, the form is so perfect any
attached rock would probably detract from the piece. Exquisite thumbnail the kind rarely seen!

Choice transparent glassy bluish-green crystals form a cluster of 3.3 x 2.7 cm in size sitting nicely

large piece and of fair value.
|
