S23820 – Malachite
This brilliant blue chrysocolla matrix is the perfect setting for this 1.7 cm malachite. An attractive small cabinet specimen of high quality.
S23714 – Ettringite
This ettringite is stunning, displaying rich vibrant yellow. N’Chwaning II pieces have exceptional color and this one has additional gem clear calcite.
S23718 – Elbaite
An extremely high-quality crystal of indicolite from Pech, Afghanistan. Interior is unusually clear and transmits a rarer shade of light blue, and the fact that it is so clear and bright really makes a difference. An exceptional gem crystal in mint condition.
S23726 – Corundum
Striking material from the 1970s mining period. The association, with its typical quartz and mica, is made up of ruby frozen in matrix.
S23740 – Barite
Fascinating inclusions of orpiment in barite from the Regent Mine in Nevada. Such inclusions are rare worldwide, so this specimen is especially noteworthy from this gold mine.
S23758 – Copper
Choice grouping of brilliant copper united and entirely made up of metallic red patina. Essentially solid copper and unusually thick.
S23769 – Malachite
Sharp and completely replaced by velvety green malachite make this specimen fine for one of these Ajo pseudomorphs. Choice specimen for the locale.
S23611 – Wulfenite
Intense red wulfenite sitting precariously amid other sharp tabular crystals. Nicely balanced with glossy "wet" faces add to this spectacular piece.
S23638 – Azurite
One of Tsumeb’s most prominent minerals, a flashy blue specimen of azurite that is seen here in sharp angular terminations. Some chatter along its edge. This Tsumeb piece is from old production, now classic material.
S23640 – Adamite
Outstanding specimen from one of Mexico’s most famous mines and noted localities for adamite. This beige colored adamite is comparatively rare, and at two inches is uncommon from this pocket, not to mention undamaged from the base up. Great piece for a Mexican suite.
