This is an attractive specimen consisting of natural pale gray transparent crystals of Calcite on a green crystal matrix from Morocco.  Very beautiful material.

Calcite is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a "ubiquitous mineral" - one that is found everywhere. Calcite is the principal constituent of limestone and marble.

This is a large sparkly cluster of beautiful multi-colored bladed barite and some Cerussite crystals.  Barite crystal formations grow in parallel sheets that almost appear fibrous. It is well-known for its great range of colors and varied crystal forms and habits. Cerussite is commonly known as white lead and is an important ore mineral.  It consists of lead carbonate which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system.  Its color will vary depending on the composition and structure, with colorless, white, grey and green tinted, being the most common colors of crystals found.

Celestite, also known as celestine, typically ranges in color from light blue to pale blue, though it can also be colorless, white, or shades of yellow and pink.  Celestite is a strontium sulfate mineral which crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, typically forming well-defined, prismatic crystals.  This celestite specimen is a nice example of a prismatic crystal form.

Celestite is often associated with calming energy and is believed to aid in meditation and spiritual development. It is said to promote mental clarity and enhance communication with higher realms.

Name: Celestite Prismatic Crystal Cluster

This is an attractive shiny spray of metallic stibnite crystals. This outstanding specimen came from the Xikuangshan mine of China.

Stibnite is a lead-gray mineral occurring as striated prismatic crystals, that are made up of antimony sulfide and is the main ore of antimony. It often forms groups of long, shiny metallic crystals radiating out at different angles.

 NOTE: Stibnite (antimony) is toxic and can be harmful if inhaled or swallowed. While a crystal sitting on your shelf doesn't pose a health risk you should always wash your hands after handling and keep it out of reach of children.

This is a beautifully formed green beryl emerald from Bahia, Brazil. This emerald crystal is surrounded by milky quartz which looks to be overlaying the emeralds' partially visible termination point.

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

Cubic and crystallized Pyrite matrix with Marmatite 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.
