Crystals & Minerals

This entire specimen is covered with many quartz, sphalerite and pyrite crystals.

The deposit known as Dalnegorsk is mined by several different mines. The vast majority of the minerals from Dalnegorsk in collections have no reference to the individual mines. The mines are the Brenner mine (with the Svetlana adit and Olga adit), Nikolaevsky mine, Zentralnye mine, Verkhnii mine, East Partizan, 1st Sovietsky mine and 2nd Sovietsky Mine. There are probably more mines. The name "Tjetjuche" means "valley of the wild pigs" and is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk. On older mineral labels this name can be seen.

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

You will receive the terminated Quartz crystal of your choosing.  These crystals, mined in Brazil, are 31 - 34 mm in length.   The photos of the individual crystals highlight the interesting details of each of them.

Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. Quartz is transparent to translucent. 

Quartz is considered a “master healer.” It's said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. It's also said to aid concentration and memory. Physically, clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body.

Quartz is also said to be a power gemstone that harmonizes and balances; enhancing energy and thoughts as well as purifying the spiritual, mental and physical. Quartz is associated with the crown chakra.

This is a fabulous specimen of Black kyanite and quartz mined in Marilac, Safira pegmatite district, Eastern Brazilian pegmatite province, Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The specimen will sit perfectly flat to allow easy display in a favorable position.

Kyanite is a silicate mineral and is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world, frequently found with lustrous bladed crystals, with the intensity of color varying by location of extraction. Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

Specimen Size:  Cabinet-Sized
Dimensions:  92x48x25 mm / 3.6x1.9x1inches 
Weight:   104.36 grams / 3.7 Ounces

The Lead–Zinc deposits of Madan Ore Field (Southwest Rhodopy Mountains) were operated by the Turks in the Middle Ages. Greek coins from Tassos island dating from 14th century AD, have been found in the ancient galleries. As well, the name of the Madan field, which in Turkish means Ore, originates from that time. 

The Madan Ore Field is built up mainly of the highly crystalline rocks of the lower (Ar) and upper (Pt) metamorphic units which form the Madan dome structure. The Lead–Zinc deposits of the Madan Ore Field are represented by: 1. Ore veins of Quartz–Carbonate–Sulphide composition, and 2. Metasomatic scarn deposits of Johannsenite–Rhodonite or Quartz–Sulphide composition.

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

Awesome variscite ball on quartz matrix with good luster.  From a rare location Wiśniówka Wielka in Poland.  Wisniowka is a village located near Kielce in Holly Cross Mountains. Cambrian quarzite sandstones occur there. Trace fossils of trilobite Olenus rarus Orlovskii as well as Diplocraterion and Bergaueria perata can be found in this area. Wiśniówka Wielka is also a well known locality of beautiful crystals of Variscite and Wavellite

This is a quality specimen and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.

Microcline is one of the most common feldspar minerals. It can be colorless, white, cream to pale yellow, salmon pink to red, or bright green to blue-green. Microcline forms short prismatic or tabular crystals that are often of considerable size: single crystals can weigh several tons and reach yards in length. Crystals are often multiply twinned, with two sets of fine lines at right angles to each other. This gives a plaid effect that is unique to microcline among the feldspars.  The nice patch of Quartz crystals makes this a spectacular piece. 

This is a quality specimen that would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.

Cubic and crystallized pyrite matrix with Marmatite and Quartz crystal cluster.

Some of the more important Colorado localities for specimens of well-crystallized pyrite include mines at cli- max, Gilman, Leadville, Rico, Ouray, Telluride, Creede, Alicante, Alice, and State Bridge. Specimens from each of these localities often have distinctive crystal habits and mineral associations.  The Eagle mine is probably best known for its pyritohedral Pyrite specimens. This cluster is a good representative Eagle mine Pyrite showing typical striated pyritohedra with sharp, lustrous faces plus some Marmatite opaque black iron-rich crystals.

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