#B2018   Kunzite (Gem Grade)
                 Pech, Kunar Province,                                  Afghanistan
                 15.6 x 10.5 x 5.5 cm
                           $3,000
                            SOLD
 
     
Giant Kunzite over 3 lbs. and most of it is Gem grade. I got this from Rob Lavinsky's Mineral Auctions at a bargain basement price (just very lucky) and I have it priced below the value he placed on it. This specimen consists of two intergrown crystals, both terminated. One of the crystals is a superb and gemmy clear through its two inch thidckness. It has a fine pink color grading to a light green towards the bottom

#B2029   Andradite Garnet on Hematite
                 Wessels Mine, Hotazel, Kalahari manganese fields,
                 Northern Cape Province, South Africa
                 13.3 x 8 x 7.2 cm
                             $1,100

Fantastic specimen of Hematite on one side of which are distinct euhedral crystals that were later covered with wine-red colored microcrystals of Andradite garnet. Looks like a plate of Strawberries ! Very unusual and aesthetic specimen from the Wessels Mine in the Kalahari manganese fields of South Africa. It is even more impressive in person. Note that the specimen looks a brighter red with white background than it does with a black background. The latter or darker red is closer to its natural color.

Heulandite was first separated from stilbite by August Breithaupt in 1818, and named by him "euzeolite" (meaning beautiful zeolite); independently, in 1822, H. J. Brooke arrived at the same result, giving the name heulandite, after the mineral collector, Henry Heuland (1778-1856) (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Muzquiz was founded in 1725 in the Sierra of Santa Rosa, in the place today known as Hacienda La Babia. A second expedition got lost and founded the settlement in the present location near  the Rio Grande de las Sabinas where the town was moved with everything including its Presidio (Prison). Its original name was Santa Rosa Maria de Sacramento, then shortened to Santa Rosa. It is the hometown of the independence hero General Melchor Muzquiz who became president of Mexico and in whose honor the town was ultimately named.
