S9223 - Marcasite on Galena - $375
Tri-State District, Ottawa County, Oklahoma
Overall Size: 6.7 x 5.7 x 4.5 cm
I admit I am not a big fan of galena, but look at how bizarre the marcasite growth is! Without the
brassy crystals attached this would be a five dollar galena, seriously joking aside, it is the combo
and how the piece crystallized that makes it atypical. Remarkable American classic.

S9224 - Rose Quartz with Microcline - $400
Lavra da llha Pegmatite, Jequitinhonha River, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Overall Size: 7.2 x 5.5 cm
Lustrous translucent sharp rose-pink cluster stands out against slightly weathered microcline matrix
acting as a backdrop for this highly appealing specimen of 3 inches tall. Hard to find with opposing
colors and not of the tightly compact type or druse so many exhibit. Elegant variety of qtz, no damage.

S9225 - Scheelite and Fluorite on Quartz - $450
Dongshan, Hunan Province, China
Overall Size: 5 x 3.1 cm
Easy to miss the largest mint-green fluorite at first glance since the light is purposefully strong to
remove shadows, upon close examination it shows stepped growth of 2.5 cm across. The three
minerals aesthetically placed together as one composite are perfectly arranged almost alpine in
form. Razor sharp scheelite measures 1.5 cm in length, fantastic undamaged association.
|
S9226 - Elbaite with Lepidolite - $325
Aracuai, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Overall Size: 5 x 3.2 cm
Fine matrix tourmaline from Brazil of transparent rich green prismatic crystals of 2.6 cm in length
pierces through iron-stained lepidolite. In the right light one can see the utmost inky-blue termination
forming a spectacular blue/green zoning. Nice miniature for the money.
|
S9227 - Fluorite with Schorl - $250
Erongo Mountains, Usakos, Namibia
Overall Size: 4 x 2.4 cm
Rare indeed, glassy dark black schorl measuring 1.8 cm long rests against tiny pleasing purple
fluorites sprinkled over a single microcline crystal. Odd environment for the two minerals at least
in close proximity regardless of being common species. Size: 4 x 2.4 cm.
|
S9228 - Fluorite - $375 SOLD
Halsbrucke Mine, Freiberg, Germany
Overall Size: 8.4 x 5.2 cm
Premier German fluorite locality, easy to see why as these high quality gem cubes enrich the matrix. I
am sure material was readily available during production, today specimens are scattered or lost around
the world. Sometimes they can be a pricey item, so by no means view the piece offered as overpriced,
in fact its reasonable. Comes with old label, in fine condition.

S9229 - Amethyst (scepter) - $350 SOLD
Hopkinton, Rhode Island
Overall Size: 5.3 x 2.7 cm

Qiaojia, Yunnan Province, China
Overall Size: 5.2 x 3 cm
Choice round bunches of pale mint-green prehnites up to 2.5 cm across sit stacked upon one another

|
S9231 - Azurite - $425
Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona
Overall Size: 4.1 x 2.3 cm
Truly extraordinary Bisbee piece! These glassy electric blue roses of 2.2 x 2.1 cm in size sit
interconnected to create an undamaged miniature with some clinging brown limonite. Glistening
faces make it highly prized among collectors along with the historical significance of early mining
of more than a century ago, this style definitely falls into the category of being a U.S. classic!
|
S9232 - Wulfenite with Mimetite and Quartz - SOLD
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia
Overall Size: 2.5 x 2 cm
Very interesting and unique if you think about it. The big fat blocky yellow crystal of 1.7 x 1.7 is definitely of
noteworthy size when compared to many, but this one is associated with glassy flat brown wulfenites
making it of great import. Tsumeb is the king of such combos. You can rest assured the luster and gem
quality is mindblowing. Good minerals from this mine seem to be vanishing from the market, worth
purchasing.
|
S9233 - Quartz on Fluorite - $225
Sunnyside Mine, American Tunnel, San Juan County, Colorado
Overall Size: 7.3 x 5.2 cm
Like sugar coated fluorites these octahedrons of 3 cm long sit grouped together to measure 7.3 x 5.2
cm in overall size, super small cabinet as few have been for sale without problems, a must see.

Pack Rat Mine, Carbon County, Montana
Overall Size: 7 x 4.6 cm
Fairly lustrous well crystallized rich deep orange/brown crystals measuring up to 2.5 cm in length form

collector.

Morenci Mine, Greenlee County, Arizona
Overall Size: 5 x 3.5 cm
Lovely saturated rich deep blue azurites up to 1.6 cm across sit within appealing pocket wall matrix of
5 x 3.5 cm in overall size. Poor photo, it is a perfect bow tie crystal that happens to be very scarce.
Morenci is one of the oldest copper mines in Arizona, a piece of history, plus fairly inexpensive.
|
S9236 - Calcite - $100
Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri
Overall Size: 6 x 2 cm
In person this isolated gemmy yellow calcite stands up in unbelievable relief, it is literally perched
on one corner and measures 5.2 cm tall without damage on a small matrix, hands-down impressive.
