This is a first class specimen of stunning Rutile crystals nearly 6 cm in length rising from a platy Hematite crystal. The Rutile crystals are
sturdy compared to the usual overly delicate
specimens, i.e., this specimen can be handled
and shipped with minimal if any damage.
Gorgeous specimen of gemmy pointed Fluorapophyllite crystals and translucent Stilbite crystals.
Discovered by Dr. Thomas Scott of the Florida Geological Survey. Since these Mercenaria are found in hinge-up living position, it is believed that they died in place due to a catastrophic event, such as sudden burial or freshwater poisoning arising from a hurricane or other cause. Mercenaria fossils are dated to the late Pliocene to early Pleistocene (1 – 1.5 million years old).
Attractive gemmy dogtooth Calcite crystals have grown in this fossil Clam.
Aesthetic iridescent blue to purple Chalcopyrite crystals on Dolomite substrate.
Very nice specimen of Mordenite crystals (largest is 4.5 x 4.5 cm) on a plate of Stilbite.
Mordenite was first described in 1864 by Henry How. He named it after the small community of Morden, Nova Scotia, Canada, along the Bay of Fundy, where it was first found (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Nice plate of creamy Barite with brownish tint and purple Fluorite crystals.
Very aesthetic combination of an aggregate of Manganocalcite crystals on sharp translucent Calcite crystals.
Bournonite was first mentioned by Philip Rashleigh in 1797 as an ore of antimony, and was more completely described by the comte de Bournon in 1804, after whom it was named (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Lustrous twinned ("cogwheel") crystals of Bournonite on matrix.
Stunning cluster of Quartz crystals coated with glittering Calcite.
Spessartine previously named spessartite, is a nesosilicate, manganese aluminium garnet, Mn3Al2(SiO4)3.[1] The names is a derivative of Spessart in Bavaria
Rare locality specimen of California Spessartine with dozens of lustrous wine-red crystals on a nicely contrasting white matrix with accenting books of silvery Muscovite.
Nice radiating cluster of prismatic Creedite crystals.
Creedite was first described in 1916 from the Creed Quadrangle in Mineral County, Colorado.
Beautiful stalatitic-like formation of glistening Quartz with some clear double terminated Apophyllite crystals.
Neat intricate network of crystal clear double terminated Apophyllite crystals and brownish translucent Stilbite crystals.
Another pretty Indian combination of gemmy Apophyllite and cream colored Stilbite on a matrix of white granular Quartz.
Interesting specimen of Pyrite balls on Quartz from a new find in China..
Large sparkling spheres of light green Wavellite in shallow pockets. The Wavellite crystals are up to 1.3cm in diameter. Partial spheres reveal the radial growth of the acicular crystals.
Named after William Wavell of England who discovered the mineral in a quarry in Devon, England in 1805.
Nice little translucent cluster of orange Stilbite.
Stunning botryoidal mass (5x4x4 cm) of light brassy Marcasite on black Sphalerite.
Beautiful light green, gemmy Fluorite crystals on Quartz covered matrix.
These beautiful crystals and clusters are hand mined at altitudes up to 15,000 ft above sea level (that's almost 3 miles above sea level!).
Uncommonly fine crystal specimen of a common Manganese mineral.
Large stalactite covered with creamy white Stilbite crystals and several blocky Apophyllite crystals.
Nice bowtie of red Stilbite.

Light tan colored Stilbite filled vug from Pennsylvania.
The name apophyllite refers to a specific group of phyllosilicates, a class of minerals that also includes the micas. Originally, the group name referred to a specific mineral, but was redefined in 1978 to stand for a class of minerals of similar chemical makeup that comprise a solid solution series, and includes the members fluorapophyllite, hydroxyapophyllite, and natroapophyllite. The name apophyllite is derived from the Greek apophylliso, meaning "it flakes off," a reference to this class's tendency flake apart when heated, due to water loss
