This matrix of arsentsumebite, which features lively apple-green color, is full of tiny twinned crystals in striking contrast to azurite, and this combination is one of the most famous and attractive from Tsumeb, and justly so. They make magnificent display specimens and only come from Tsumeb, with an ultimate showing of dramatic color contrast. When placed in a case next to other specimens it really has overwhelming POP and GLOW by comparison.

This is an outstanding amethyst of exceptional clarity and pleasing grape-purple hue. As important as that is, it needs more to make the piece stand out, and that would be a distinct style of long sceptered amethyst towering above matrix. This specimen is incredibly pristine and complete all around.

This specimen of lazulite is balanced, with consistent glasslike luster. The bright azure-blue crystals are not interlocking too much as is usually the case. A true cluster in contrast to lustrous siderite pops more effectively.

An important and classy specimen from an old and classic English locality that is now closed. The Blackdene mine started mining operations in 1401. However, this piece came out in the early 1970s. This association is exceptional and from here in particular, with such crystallization of brassy chalcopyrite clustered atop fluorite. The piece comes with previous owners labels.

This specimen of hausmannite consists of sharp, brilliantly lustrous crystals to 2 cm selectively layered with calcite. This is a good one for the manganese oxide mineral.

This pleasing yellow smithsonite is particularly fine and attractive. At nearly 2.5 cm, considered large by other locality standards and on matrix, this cluster shows excellent form with some side cleaves.

This cluster of pyromorphite is top quality and remarkably complete. The specimen is a balanced spray of barrel-like crystals in curvature habit, and the luster is resinous. The color is bright and warm and very appealing in person.

This is an exceptional and rich indicolite of the rarest shade of pleasantly strong inky blue. The crystal literally oozes with color! The characteristic flat faced prism is glassy and very gemmy. This is an important and legit one from here, with a complete provenance for the buyer.

This rather impressive specimen of vanadinite is in unusually fine condition and entirely well crystallized. A distinct, sharp, cluster of pronounced beige-red faces of preferential zoning make this an interesting and highly striking piece. Tastefully arranged and attractively zoned for Mibladen.

Onganja is known for this type of distinctive pseudomorph/coating and this piece is exceptionally good for the type. The replacement is sharp faced and still retains the cuboctahedral form of cuprite. This is a particularly fine miniature, with an undamaged crystal to 2.5 cm nicely elevated from calcite.

The color zoning make this an interesting and appealing piece. This is a fine and pristine cluster of vanadinite without even a micro scratch, considering it is completely draped in crystals. This specimen has superb eye appeal.

This attractive cluster features several sharp crystals of vanadinite to 2.5 cm spread over the crest of matrix. This small cabinet-sized specimen is in remarkable condition, and the sharply zoned preferential beige-red shading add to the piece.

This is an early specimen of euxenite from Madagascar. The mineral rarely comes this nice and sharp with a steep pyramidal termination. This rare oxide is in excellent condition, and real quality is hard to come by from this spot.

The sharply zoned preferential beige-red shading make this specimen of vanadinite unusually fine. The piece is entirely well crystallized, complex and covering much of the matrix. This specimen is very three dimensional.

This is a quality specimen of Brazilian magnetite, not only for its remarkably bright metallic faces, but for overall sharpness, displaying defined octahedral crystals in chlorite. Now fairly uncommon, this material came out in the early 1990s.

This exquisitely brilliant, golden crystal of pyrite is perfectly smooth to the point of being shocking and the shape is icosahedral in habit adding an additional degree of excellence. Merelani pieces have exceptional quality and good ones are now highly treasured. The QUALITY is really that good. This crystal is one of the most perfect I have seen without dissolution and in association with calcite.

This is an excellent and relatively uncommon dioptase from Malpaso, Colon Department, Argentina. The crystals grew in bright individual clusters and singles, with carbonate rich matrix. A perfect fit for a suite.

This specimen of dioptase is intense green and sparingly covering calcite. They came out many years ago and are now relatively uncommon from Malpaso, Colon Department, Argentina.

A bright and translucent spray of orange-yellow crystals of mimetite stick up from sharp-edged dolomite in a very attractive way. These specimens, collected long ago, are treasures today, and this is a fine miniature of high quality.

This collection of minerals is uncommon in such quality and we have become accustomed to just the dioptase from Kaokoveld, however, this is much more rare. Barite is an unusual mineral associated with dioptase from this locality and the two minerals provide a pleasing contrast of colors, plus such a specimen is the No. 1 spot for the association. The barite itself is 2.2 cm and surprisingly complete without damage.
