While it's commonly colorless or white, Calcite can also appear in various hues, including shades of green, blue, yellow, orange, red, brown, and even black.  This sphere is a beautiful example of yellow calcite.  The coloration is often due to impurities or exposure to different minerals during formation.  Calcite is typically transparent to translucent, allowing light to pass through and sometimes exhibit a phenomenon called double refraction.  is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

Calcite is associated with clarity, amplification of energy, and cleansing.  It is believed it can help with emotional healing, motivation, and creativity.

This is a stunning thumbnail sized specimen of Quartz and Hydroxylherderite.  There are many fully terminated quartz point, some of them surrounding the Hydroxylherderite.  Some crystallized pyrite is visible on the bottom of the cluster.

Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. It 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. 

Hydroxylherderite is a relatively rare mineral that belongs to the phosphate mineral group. It is comes in a variety of colours: Colourless, gray, brown, pale yellow, greenish white, light blue, and purple.  Notable occurrences of Hydroxylherderite include Brazil, Afghanistan, and the United States.

This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Pseudomorphs are mineral specimens that have the external shape of one mineral but are composed of another.  The pseudomorph goethite after marcasite forms when marcasite is exposed to oxidizing conditions and starts to oxidize and break down. As the marcasite breaks down, goethite replaces it in the crystal structure, preserving the shape of the original marcasite crystal. The resulting specimen appears as a marcasite crystal, but is actually composed of goethite.

The Farafra Oasis, in the White Desert, has been known for a number of years to deliver incredible pseudomorph specimens. The pseudomorphs occur within the Cretaceous Khoman Chalk, from which the White Desert derives its name.

These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition.  This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.

This beautiful Apophyllite specimen is of significant size and will include the stand seen in the photos.

Apophyllite is a mineral belonging to the phyllosilicate group. It is known for its distinctive crystal formations, often occurring in clusters with a unique beauty.  Apophyllite crystals are usually colorless or white, allowing them to be transparent or translucent. Although, some specimens may exhibit a greenish, yellowish, or pinkish tint due to the presence of impurities. 

Apophyllite often forms as prismatic crystals with a square or rectangular cross-section.  It frequently occurs in distinctive pyramid-like structures, and its crystals can be large and well-formed. Apophyllite is found in various locations around the world. Notable occurrences include India, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and the United States.

Apophyllite is believed to have a calming effect, and to effectively reduce stress, releasing mental blockages and negative thought patterns. Apophyllite is also said to release suppressed emotion, to overcome anxiety, worries and fears. It calms apprehensions and allows uncertainty to be tolerated.

These are perfect rosettes of metallic molybdenite, almost completely exposed in a glassy quartz matrix crystals from Moly Hill, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Québec, Canada.  The pair of rosettes measure 17mm in length.

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.
