A KILLER specimen, with an intense gemmy amethyst sceptre atop of a stalk of smoky quartz. Rare locality material in this combination, but hard to find in such quality - this one is exemplary for the location.

Quartz from Bourg d'Oisans, Dauphine, France [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-26d.jpg]

A stunning, aesthetic cluster of gemmy quartzes from FRANCE - old material from this classic (now defunct) locality! Note the original old A.E. Foote label. This style of label dates the specimen's passing through his hands to 1880-1895, according to the Mineralogical Record's label archives ! Better - more gemmy - in person.

A very unusual sceptred quartz, with some kind of funny twinning or other habit at the termination....just a bizarre piece.

Just a really , really beautiful polished section of rutilated quartz, with unusual clarity and purity of both the clear quartz and the golden rutile within. The rutile needles are unsuually fat as well,. Overall a striking lapidary piece!

A rare South Dakota quartz cluster from this old mine. Contacted a bit at both ends, but mostly complete and relaly quite a striking 3-dimensional cluster

Rose Quartz on Quartz with Eosphorite from Lavra da Ilha, Tacquaral, Minas Gerais, Brazil [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-31a.jpg]

A really elegant, castellated piece comprised of stairstep rose quartzes shooting up off clear or milky quartzes, all sprinkled with really sahrp, elongated, translucent eosphorite crystals to almost 1 cm in size. It is not a killer rose quartz, perhaps, because the intensity is a little dark - but it IS a very , very good piece for the price, quite impressive, and a fabulous exmaple of this particular old find (associated with the eosphorite) from the late 1970s.

Amethyst sceptre from Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, Brazil [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-32b.jpg]

A superb, very symmetric amethyst sceptre from an unusual locale....just hav enot seen many amethyst from Brazil at all other than the typical small crystals in geodes, and this fine sceptre is really therefore a shock to me. It is complete save a single small bit of contact or damage on one back face only.

Quartz var. Amethyst and Smoky from Miask, Siberia, Russia [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-33d.jpg]

A sharp smoky quartz crystal with amethyst highlights from an antique old Russian locale, from the important collections of both William S. Vaux and his relation George Vaux (note the initials WSV at the bottom of his handwritten label, indicating its inheritance!). This specimen rises from a slender shard of matrix covered by small quartzes, and is very aesthetic in person! The label is in the hand of George Vaux, whose collection went to the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences , though this specimen was exchanged out long before the recent sale of that collection. It is MUCH better in person.

A really beautiful quartz rich with sparkling, metallic inclusions of paper-thin pyrrhotite crystals, from this classic locality which is a deep gold mine. Never seen another like it!

Quartz with Rutile inclusions from Nalps Valley, Tavetsch,Grisons, Switzerland [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-35c.jpg]

A brilliantly shimmering and rich rutilated quartz from a most unusual locality! Such pieces, so rich and colorful, are VERY rare for the Swiss alps. This crystal is complete and presents nicely from the display face, though rough on the back faces and broken on the bottom. Obviously, we can remove the strahler's ink labelling if desired...

A pristine miniature, very bright and sparkling, featuring a wonderfully balanced central twin enhanced by the starkly contrasting prismatic quartz right behind it! Or in front...as either side is a good view depending on personal taste.

Quartz on Hematite from Cleator Moor, Cumberland, England [db_pics/pics/rhqtz-111b.jpg]

An oustanding toenail-(large thumbnail)-sized example of this classic habit from old England, often called beta quartz (though technically it only to the eye resembles true beta quartz in strict crystallographic terms). Isolated, gemmy crystal on sparkling hematite matrix, just extremely balanced and fine!
