A Superb, 1.2 cm-tall Emerald sitting perfectly on dark matrix with minor calcite. This incredible Emerald is GEM-clear, lustrous, and has the absolute best deep emerald color that you could ask for. It is a depth and color saturation you rarely see on an emerald. Although small , perhaps to some, it has a huge impact visually and is overall a full thumbnail, balanced and with a "center" to it that draws the eye. The compex termination is also quite stunning. A killer, even better in real life - it just GLOWS, for lack of a better word to describe it. It is one of the finest thumbnail emeralds I have seen. Not the biggest, but just a stunning "jewel"

Choice, complete pinwheel of the beautiful yellow Adamite from the famous Ojuela mine in Mexico, sitting perfectly on matrix. The gemmy crystals in this radial growth have excellent luster and color, and the pinwheel itself is 1.4 cm across. Excellent bright yellow fluorescence. Distinct and aesthetic thumbnail specimen , and vintage oldstyle material from the 1970s-1980s

A sharp, lustrous, deep green Uvarovite garnet crystal with excellent emerald-green color from the famous Outokumpu Mine of Finland. The sharp, 1.2 cm crystal has textbook dodecahedral form and is in remarkably good condition. Uvarovite is the calcium chromium garnet group end member. This is a classic specimen from a premier locality, with a relatively large crystal. It makes for a very aesthetic thumbnail

Choice cluster of superbly-lustrous, deep-blue Azurite crystals from the world-famous Tsumeb Mine. Each mirror-like crystal has an excellent termination, and they sit wonderfully on the matrix. The largest of the crystals is 1.7 cm tall. Impressive and aesthetic - rarely can you find such a fine balance in a MATRIX thumbnail specimen of azurite from Tsumeb.

A small, well-formed ball of twinned crystals of Selenite, with one super-gemmy 1.6 cm twinned crystal growing prominently out from the ball. This color, and this gemminess, is quite unusual. The Selenites formed in the clay beds of the Red River Floodway near Winnipeg, as floater balls of crystals. Under UV light, this beautiful Selenite crystal fluoresces green. In addition, it phosphoresces after the UV light is turned off. Sharp, beautiful, and aesthetic. The only such kille rexample I have seen in a TN sized specimen

The Society Girl Mine is the most famous, and finest, of the uncommon Canadian Pyromorphite localities. On top of that, matrix specimens themselves are rare and highly-sought after. This excellent example has well-shaped green crystals up to 4 mm, and they cover the matrix in abundance. Quite sparkling and of a unique color.
