S24135 – Erythrite
This lavish fuchsia-pink to plum-red erythrite of attractive display is some the highest appeal in Moroccan material. Its elaborate surface make this cabinet plate of cobalt bloom impressive.
S24139 – Cerussite
Tsumeb is particularly known for its splendid association of cerussite with dioptase, and this exquisite set of minerals checks all the boxes. Its worldclass appeal and classy presence is as nice as they get in this size range and only Tsumeb could produce such a specimen. The twinned cerussite itself is in unusually pristine condition. Ex Rosa Nowels collection
S24153 – Magnetite
This specimen of magnetite sits intermixed with golden chalcopyrite that becomes slick and flashy in light. In addition to its glistening matrix the main focal crystal is free of damage. Ultra-fine piece returning after decades from collector Rosa Nowels.
S24155 – Pyromorphite
Classic, old-time Wheatley material of sharp rich olive oil-green pyromorphite. It was a lead-silver mine that started in 1851 and closed in the 1860s. It was reopened in 1917 and closed in 1920.
S24157 – Magnetite
A quality specimen of Bolivian magnetite, not only for its remarkably bright metallic faces, but for overall sharpness, displaying chiseled, razor-sharp octahedral crystals. An outstanding crystal for the locality measuring 2 cm in length.
S24160 – Quartz
Fine scepter of Swiss amethyst from older finds in Switzerland dating to the late 1960s. Most of this specimen is lustrous and slightly green due to inclusions of microscopic chlorite. Ex Rosa Nowels collection
S24164 – Fluorite
A beautifully crystallized, quality specimen of clear ice cubes dot matrix accompanied by sphalerite. A complete floater in full 360 degree view. Ex Rosa Nowels collection

An excellent pseudomorph of the typical, slightly elongated growth of pyrite replacing marcasite measuring 6.5 cm. Ex Rosa Nowels collection
S24016 – Tetrahedrite
This famous English locality has produced some of the most stylish chalcopyrite over tetrahedrite specimens. Such brilliantly marked iridescent chalcopyrite selectively coating modified tetrahedral crystals is a Cornwall classic. Fine Cornish piece returning after decades from collector Rosa Nowels.
S24018 – Gormanite
A splendid rarity from Canada and an extremely well crystallized and pronounced display of radial gormanite over glistening quartz and siderite matrix. This is a balanced and unusually fine example of the phosphate in pristine condition. Ex Rosa Nowels collection
