This is a cluster of olive green tourmaline crystals and purple lepidolite. The tourmalines have a pink core and a dark blue termination. As seen on the pictures, there is some old pocket damage present, but the specimen is still in fine condition and very showy all around!
Wonderful combination of colours! Small chipping is present on the corner.
Amazing cubic growth patterns of fluorite!
A wonderful elongated crystal cluster, featuring sharp gold crystals resting equally fine on both sides of a slightly curved central spine. One of very few full miniature sized pieces from this outstanding new find.
A quite thick gold crystal cluster with a lovely spike on the side. This piece is in fact the only piece of the pocket that shows that exceptional growth feature. Very special indeed!
Great cluster of sharp, red and gemmy rhodochrosite crystals on manganese mother rock. From the classic old finds in the 1980s. They still set the standard for the species, no better quality has been found ever since.
This is a lovely 6-sided hematite on white adularia crystals. The front faces are super glossy, and the edges are razor sharp!
Superb tourmaline cluster featuring great colour and unique shape! I do especially like the small crystal connecting the two bigger ones. The specimen is in great condition on all sides, a cluster of purple lepidolite sets a nice focus on the back side.
Sharp and well formed floater crystal of phenakite, from a unique and very small find in Nigeria.
Marvellous cluster of ball shaped amethyst var. grape agate. The piece is a complete floater and very 3-dmensional in person. Amazing shape, no damage.
92 grams of crystalized gold in quartz! What a beautiful and very rich gold specimen from recent finds at Alta Floresta. The quartz matrix sets a lovely contrast. Very 3-dimensional and showy from all sides!
Killer rhodochrosite thumbnail of the very best quality! Two main and 4 more side crystals form a very attractive group of this highly admired species. The crystal tips have only tiny cleavage, which is barely visible without magnification. Great colour and transparency!
