5.6 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm. A very unusual specimen from South Dakota for the quartz collector, and pretty too! This is a water-clear and gemmy quartz crystal included with and wrapped by a garland of iridescent pyrite flashing red and purple hues. Ex. Tom Campbell collection.

9.9 x 8.7 x 0.4 cm. A fascinating old New Mexico silver specimen, a slice through a mixed-matrix ore.

Ex. Dave Stoudt collection.

A KILLER, brown ankerite crystal disc aesthetically attached to a gorgeous, jackstraw cluster of water-clear, doubly terminated, solution quartz crystals from a small, NEW FIND at the Jeffrey Quarry, near Little Rock, Arkansas.
