International Minerals #2

This is beautiful spray of blue-green tourmaline crystals, a white albite crystal is sitting on top.

Greenish adamite and white calcite crystals on a goethite matrix. Very nice arrangemant of main crystal group in the centre. No damage.

Ilfeld is not only the type locality for manganite, it is still the locale which yielded the very best crystals of the species. This specimen hosts several highly lustrous crystals to 2.4 cm in length. All the main crystals show perfect micro-crystalline termination faces, and a white barite crystal attached on the left side adds a pleasing contrast.

Single multicolour liddiocoatite crystal featuring a bright yellow-orange cap, followed by a very deep red, pink and finally an olive green layer at the base. Incredibly bright and open colours! Minor albite is attached on lower front side.

Bright and lustrous chloanthite crystals to 21 mm in a cluster on matrix.

A spray of large, elongated dioptase crystals measuring to 27 mm in height, forming a highly aesthetic thumbnail specimen! No damage.

Very nice single multicolour liddicoatite crystal featuring red, olive-green and brown colours.

Amazing group of deeply coloured pyromorphite crystals perched on matrix. Great visual impact and aestetics! No damage.

This is a large multicolour liddicoatite crystal with an amazing red cap and nicely bevelled termination faces. The colour will show up best when backlight (as shown on the pictures above). Aside the wonderful colours, the pcrystal features very nice striations on the prism faces and is in very good condition all around.

Chlorite and hematite phantoms in scalenohedral calcite crystals. Great aesthetics and pristine condition!

A 3.8 cm wide, twinned epidote crystal featuring a great termination, another doubly-terminated smaller crystal hanging on the lower front and a nest of quartz crystals attached on the right side make this a very fine and well-balanced miniature! No damage.

This is a highly aesthetic specimen featuring several freestanding crystal sheaves of pyromorphite. The crystals have a very nice olive green to brownish colour, and the main crystals show somehow hollow crystal formations at their terminations.
