Crystals & Minerals

Sharp lustrous metallic crystals makes this top specimen of Skutterudite most beautiful and unique.  Some pearly white Calcite is intergrown between crystals.  Although most Skutterudite are uninteresting in form, several localities have produced sharp, lustrous crystals that are striking in aesthetics like this one.

The Bou Azer District, Morocco, produces the best examples of Skutterudite, in large, lustrous crystals, often in a cuboctadral shape.  Skutterudite may partially alter to pink Erythrite. Skutterudite is named after its type locality of Skutterud, Norway. 

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

Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful banded masses. Africa contains several outstanding Malachite deposits. The mines at Katanga (Shaba), especially at Kolwezi, in the Congo (Zaire) produce Malachite in all sorts of odd shapes and forms, and are the source of the best banded, concentric, stalactitic and sparkling specimens. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

P.S. The white shiny spots are actually light reflections and are not signs of damages.

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.

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. 

Phantom quartz is a variety of quartz, or "rock crystal", that forms over pre-existing crystals. The included crystal is visible due to some variation in composition making the boundary of the included crystal visible. Such crystals display the outlines of numerous smaller crystals, known as phantoms.  Great crystal to acquire.

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.
