Gorgeous bi-colour fluorite cluster from a classic American locale! The depth of colours and aesthetics are amazing, minor chipping is present on a few corners, however, the piece is still in great condition. The purple phantoms show up really well, and the back side is not contacted, it is fully crystalized also.

Splendid baryte rose on dark calcite matrix! What a great specimen from the recent finds. On the back side there are minor contacts from another baryte rose, but these are insignificant and not a detraction. The entire front side is in perfect shape and condition!

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.
