International Minerals #10

Aquamarine double crystal featuring wonderfully rounded growth towards the termination. I have seen no other crystal showing this special form in such excellent way! No damage.

Sharp and incredibly clear fluorite cubes on calcite matrix. The clarity of the crystals is truly astounding, and the arrangement is very well balanced. One of the cubes has some little chipping along the back side edge, but it is barely visible from the front display angle. Gorgeous display and great visual impact!

Superb indicolite from an old find in Brazil! The striations are amazing on all sides, and the colour is open and pure! No damage.

WOW! What a gorgeous rhodochrosite miniature from the no.1 locality in the world! No other locality than N'Chwaning mine has ever produced this striking quality. The colour, luster and clarity are truly amazing and still set the standard for the species. This specimen has the typical and highly desired raspberry colour, a very vivid and bright red, which just glows in the sunlight! The crystals are perched on a manganese matrix, which is also very rare and gives a beautiful contrast. This miniature features all the top qualities of the mine, it is just eye-candy and surprisingly fine.

WOW! What a fantastic amethyst specimen from an old find at Las Vigas! The colour is truly deep purple, as intense as the very best I have seen from the locality! All crystal tips are in perfect condition, there are even no small chips. In addition, the specimen is a floater and well crystalized on all sides. Just jaw-dropping!

Perfect TN size specimen featuring a large and undamaged crystal on calcite matrix.

WOW! what a huge and perfect baryte ball on dolomite and sphalerite matrix! The ball measures 11 cm in diameter and is very well isolated on all sides. No damage.

Superb campylite balls isolated and in groups over a nicely contrasting matrix. No damage!

Killer wolframite twin perched on a quartz floater specimen. Zero damage!
