Crystals & Minerals

This beautiful cluster of tetrahedrite with calcite, small terminated quartz crystals and small, but brilliant, crystallized pyrite. 

Tetrahedrite crystals are fascinating minerals known for their distinctive tetrahedral shape and shiny, metallic luster.  It typically forms in well-defined tetrahedral crystals, which can be grouped in clusters.  The color range includes shades of metallic gray, black, and sometimes reddish hues due to the presence of copper and other trace elements. Tetrahedrite is commonly found in hydrothermal veins and is often associated with other minerals such as quartz, galena, and sphalerite.

Tetrahedrite is believed to promote emotional healing and provide a protective shield against negativity. It is thought to enhance creativity and clarity, helping individuals connect with their inner selves.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Mangano Calcite is a beautiful soft pink colour, often with white banding. It is very strongly UV reactive, glowing a bright orange-pink colour under UV light.  The pink colour comes from Manganese and the best specimen often comes from Peru.  Specimen will also combine clear Quartz, Pyrite and white Calcite.

Mangano Calcite is said to be a loving and nurturing stone that helps us to be kind to ourselves and to accept and give love. It is also said to be a powerful stress reliever.

This is a natural cluster formation of large calcite crystals with hematite inclusions. This piece has some white color to translucent crystals with areas of orange/red coloring from hematite inclusions, with sharp tabular crystal formations. There are some nicks and imperfections on a few crystals but would still shine in the proper setup.  Those don't take away from how interesting this piece is.  Would be a nice addition to any new or existing collection.
