Vanadinite crystals are small, hexagonal prismatic crystals that are typically red to brownish-red in color. They have a bright luster and a transparent to translucent appearance. The crystals often form in aggregates, creating intricate and interesting formations. Vanadinite would hardly be as famous if not for the outstanding locality of Mibladen, Morocco. This locality has by far produced the most outstanding crystals of beautiful color and form.
Vanadinite is believed to enhance vitality, motivation, and manifestation, while also promoting clarity, focus, and protection from negativity.

These are perfect rosettes of metallic, lustrous molybdenite, almost completely exposed in a glassy quartz matrix crystals from Moly Hill, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Québec, Canada. The largest of the crystals is 12x10 mm (0.5x0.4 inches). Molybdenite is commonly found as foliated masses meaning the mineral forms folia or layers, like the mineral mica. It is metallic gray, has a greasy feel, and is very soft at only 1 on Mohs' hardness scale. Its softness, metallic luster and gray color led scientists to mistakenly believe it was a lead mineral. This specimen shows the typical hexagonal layered structure of the crystal.
Some believe molybdenite is linked to intuition, transformation, and problem-solving, helping with mental clarity and adaptability. It is sometimes associated with the third eye chakra, thought to enhance insight and creative thinking.

Creedite is a rare mineral that is best known for its radiating crystal clusters, which can appear in transparent to translucent orange, purple, white, or colorless hues. It was first discovered in Creede, Colorado, USA, which is how it got its name. Today, some of the best specimens come from Mexico (notably in Chihuahua), Kazakhstan, and Bolivia. In Mexico, creedite is often found as vibrant orange clusters, making it a favorite among collectors.
Creedite is thought to support spiritual growth, intuition, and clarity. Some believe it stimulates the third eye and crown chakras, aiding meditation and insight. Its bright, radiating form is often seen as a symbol of light and transformation.
This is a very unusual, sculptural cluster of Creedite. It is secured to a base in order to display and protect the crystal, and is mesmerizing in person. Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This mineral combination is from a classic locality, the Newfoundland Zinc Mine, which has been closed for many years. This mine was a high grade zinc mine with very little contaminants in the ore which made it easier to mill and produced good concentrate. This site is known for beautiful mineral specimens, particularly sphalerite crystals often associated dolomite.
The sphalerite from this region typically appears as dark brown to black, resinous crystals, sometimes with red or orange undertones due to iron content. These crystals often serve as a striking backdrop for the light-colored dolomite, which forms as rhombohedral or curved aggregates on top. The contrasting colors and textures make specimens from Daniel’s Harbor highly collectible.
Very nice showy material in excellent condition and a collectors dream specimen.

This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the 1960's by A. Stevenson in Harcourt, Ontario, Canada. The specimen is a beautiful rich gemmy green vesuvianite crystal, and is fully terminated. This rare and premium specimen is in excellent condition. A fantastic addition to any collection!
Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It has also been used as a gemstone.
