Exceptional and quite large specimen of Native Silver wires atop Acanthite covered matrix!
True museum quality, this incredible German Silver has been in a private collection for years but was
offered to me during the Tucson Show and I was happy to acquire it for the website! The aesthetics are
stunning and it's difficult to walk away from the specimen without taking several glances as many people
found out for themselves while it was on display in my showcase. The wires rise up from the Acanthite
and climb upwards to create a the classic arborescent tree formation! The bottom wires are very thick,
forming the perfect "trunk" for the tree! The specimen is a true prize and the antique patina is gorgeous.
It's without a doubt, one of the finest, most impressive Native Silvers I've ever seen from any locality.
Locality: Himmelsfurst Mine, Freiberg District, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany.
Measures: 11.5 cm by 7.5 cm by 6.4 cm in total size.

Absolutely gorgeous specimen of deep red Rubellite Tourmaline!
This glassy, well striated specimen of red Tourmaline is a sight to see. It boasts a perfect termination with a second
smaller crystal sitting horizontally just behind the tip of the main vertical crystal. This smaller Rubellite is terminated
on both ends and hides a third, even smaller crystal out of view on the back side. Accents of white Cleavelandite and
Tourmaline drusy fill the spaces between the larger crystals. Two smaller vertical crystals flank the largest Tourmaline.
Locality: Malkhan Pegmatite Field, Krasnyi Chikoy, Chitinskaya Oblast, Transbaikalia, Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia.

MIN#Denver2022-3 Sold!

Stunning specimen of crystalline Native Gold on bright white Quartz matrix!
This is a rare specimen of crystalline Native Gold from the famous 16 to 1 Mine which is famous
for the purity of contrast between yellow Gold and White Quartz. It's for this reason that most material
from this mine is found in jewelry and cut stones, not mineral specimens like this one. The Native Gold
here appears as crystalline leaves which are accompanied by trigons, spinels and even some wires set
among other crystals habits. The contrast between Gold and Quartz is striking with superb aesthetics.
Locality: 16 to 1 Mine, Alleghany District, Sierra County, California.
Measures: 7.1 cm by 4.4 cm by 5.2 cm in total size.

Gorgeous curling Ram's-Horn of Selenite var. Gypsum on matrix!
This
Dramatic specimen of "Ram's Horn" Gypsum is one of the finest I've been able to locate in many
years it seems. Selenite is a pretty common mineral but quality specimens of this type are difficult to find.
This one features a large perfect "horn" surrounded by smaller Gypsums jutting out below. Intense sparkle!

Lovely specimen featuring two gem Tourmaline var. Elbaite crystals on Albite matrix!
Two pastel colored Tourmalines exhibiting shades of pink and green sit beautifully atop the center
of the white Albite matrix. Both are perfectly terminated with gemmy interiors throughout their length.
They change from reddish-pink to pink to grassy green and then yellowish-green to transparent as they
rise upwards 5 cms above the Albite. At their base is a scattering of smaller, equally colorful crystals.
Locality: Paprok, Kamdesh District, Nuristan, Afghanistan.

Super aesthetic specimen of Amazonite with Smoky Quartz crystals and Cleavalandite!
This vertically gifted specimen begins with a nearly 6 cm Amazonite crystal of the deepest
Turquoise color at the base. This gives rise to several white Cleavelandite clusters which are
topped off  by numerous dark Smoky Quartz points, all of which are terminated. The largest of
these sits horizontally across the top and is doubly terminated. It measures just over 6 cm in length,
matching up well with the Amazonite crystal below. This is easily one of my favorites from the show.

Lustrous pyramidal crystal clusters of Acanthite with Native Silver wires!
An amazing combination featuring stacked Acanthite ps. after Argentite (Silver Sulfide) crystals with Native
Silver wires throughout! Obviously the Sulfur component was removed at some point during the development
of this specimen, allowing for the Native Silver growth. Specimens like this always amaze me. They are both
beautiful and extremely interesting in a geological as well as an historical sense. This specimen is a classic
rarity from a major Silver mining district which has faded into the past. Fortunately, great specimens survive
for all collectors to enjoy. I might point out that this specimen is very heavy and nearly solid Silver mineral!
Locality: Foster Mine, Glen Lake, Coleman Township, near Cobalt, Ontario, Canada.

Gorgeous specimen featuring Emerald-green Dioptase crystals on Dolomite draped atop Quartz crystals!
This is the first and only specimen of Dioptase I've ever seen from Tsumeb that appeared in association with
Quartz crystals. Not drusy, but sizeable crystals. The Dioptase are beautifully green with perfect reflective faces
and are in excellent condition across the entire plate. They sit between, and in some cases, atop the Quartz crystals.
All are hosted by cream colored Dolomite which covers the matrix beneath. An amazing combo piece with plenty of flash.

Glassy-brilliant Opal var. Hyalite draped atop lavender Chalcedony!

The glowing golden-yellow coloration of the Hyalite Opal is most likely due to inclusions
of iron oxide and it really sets off the satiny surfaces of the lavender Chalcedony below.

Absolutely gorgeous specimen featuring a deep pink Morganite perched atop Quartz points!
This glassy pink jewel is one of the most attractive Morganites from the show. The gemmy crystal
measures over 9 cm in size and sits high atop several terminated Quartz points and is accented by
muscovite and Tourmaline along both sides. The Morganite is complete all the way around with
textbook Beryl faces along the front and complex, matrix-influenced faces along the back. One
interesting feature is the blue Aquamarine core which is barely visible from the front but more
apparent on the back side. Technically, that makes this a bi-colored Aqua-Morganite but it's
much more Morganite than Aqua for sure. In excellent condition with few surface contacts.

Large gem crystals of Beryl va. Emerald with Biotite Mica and Graphite!
This emerald cluster is from a classic locality in Brazil, which produces very few specimen quality pieces.
This is a cluster of three major moderately intergrown crystals of dark green Emerald with crystals to 6 cm in length.
They are pretty much randomly oriented with the three largest crystals converging at the top and one in almost parallel
growth and all are translucent to gemmy displaying a satiny to slightly glassy luster. The crystals on this piece are terminated
on one end by the pinacoid form (flat top). The intersections of the crystals and portions of the prism faces on the exterior
have a sparkling black patchwork of association with Biotite Mica and Graphite, and some of the Emerald crystals feature
inclusions. An excellent Emerald group from Brazil, which is remarkably aesthetic compared to most other examples.
Locality: Nova Era, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Measures: 8 cm by 5.7 cm by 4.2 cm in total size.

Unique and rare specimen of naturally etched Galena on yellow Fluorite!
This bizarre specimen is thought to have formed when Galena preciptated from solution
simultaneously with Barite. The Barite then dissolved away leaving the pyramidal shaped
Galena. I don't see many of these rare specimens so this is a great opportunity for collectors!
Locality: Ozark-Mahoning No. 4 Mine, Ozark-Mahoning Group, Cave-In-Rock Mining Sub-District, Hardin County, Illinois.

Gorgeous and quite rare large cabinet plate of Spessartine Garnets with Smoky Quartz and a large Fluorite crystal!
Tongbei is known almost exclusively for its classic Spessartine and Smoky Quartz combinations and fine Helvites - but rarely,
it produces Fluorites too. Sharp, glassy, pretty Fluorite octahedrons. Most are under 1 cm in size but this plate offers up an
incredible 1 inch green Fluorite octahedron perched aesthetically atop a surface literally covered with hundreds of brilliant,
gemmy Spessartine Garnets and sharp Smoky Quartz crystals from one side to the other. This locale is now officially closed
and very few plates of this size and coverage have ever made it to market. The association of a large Fluorite makes this a
true museum calibre specimen. In excellent condition with no detractions and an excellent trimming edge. Absolutely superb!

Locality: Wushan Spessartine Mine, Tongbei, Yunxiao Co., Zhangzhou, Fujian, China.

Gorgeous acicular spirals of Plancheite with Malachite on matrix!
This specimen is one of the most attractive Plancheites I've ever seen and it has an interesting history.
It was originally labeled as Plancheite from Tsumeb and was acquired from the Chicago Field Museum
as such. It was then part of the exceptional Sussman Tsumeb Collection before being sold to a European
collection. I acquired the specimen from this collector and after much research, it is now widely believed
that this is a very beautiful Congolese Plancheite specimen. That's what I'm going with as it matches very
well with the locality, but if you purchase the specimen and through further research can prove that it is
indeed from Tsumeb as it was originally labeled, then you will have an incredible prize to say the least!
From the M'sesa Mine, Kambove District, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Measures 6.2 cm by 5.6 cm by 4.6 cm in total size.

Superb specimen of iridescent Covellite blades with Enargite crystals and Quartz on matrix!
Wow, this is both a beauty and a rarity. Anyone who has searched for top quality Butte Covellites
knows just how difficult they are to locate. This is the best Butte specimen I've offered in a while
and the lustrous purple blades are a sight to see! They are in excellent shape and sit atop a matrix
vug that is lined by Quartz points and filled with black Enargite crystals! It's hard to do much better
than this fine combination specimen. The blades are mostly freestanding and complete. Very nice!

Amazing specimen of Silver pseudomorphing after Acanthite crystals!
This is a tremendous Silver pseudo and the first I have seen from the Rayas Mine. The Native Silver has
pseudomorphed the majority of the Acanthite and also appears as small wires atop the crystal surfaces.
The habit of the Acanthites is somewhat hoppered and this has been well preserved by the Native Silver.
Interestingly enough, there is also Calcite present in the center of the specimen and a small purple Fluorite.
