2.0 x 1.8 x 1.1 cm. Here is a wonderful thumbnail size specimen of the famous pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite from Corocoro. Ex. Kosnar Collection.
15.8 x 14.2 x 10.0 cm. From the collection of Dave Stoudt, a big, rich, flowery specimen of "popcorn" calcite from the famous old Bisbee locality - with little branches of aragonite growing on the tips of the stalactitic calcites.
13.1 x 8.3 x 5.3 cm. A flowery bloom of stalactitic aragonite from China, with a beautiful blue coloring from copper content.
10.4 x 8.9 x 7.4 cm. A flowery bloom of stalactitic aragonite from China, with a beautiful blue coloring from copper content.
7.8 x 6.8 x 5.0 cm. These sharp, large aragonite crystals have been pseudomorphed by quartz, included by hematite which gives it its reddish tone. So what you have is quartz in the exact form of the prior aragonite crystals, having preserved their form perfectly. This is a floater, in superb condition. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
20.0 x 11.0 x 4.5 cm. A superb, large cabinet pseudomorph spray from Dal’negorsk of cream-colored calcite after fluted, aragonite stalactites. The larger flutes are undamaged, with some of the stalactites terminating naturally and some contacted against sulfides. This piece dates to the early 1990s.
12.4 x 10.9 x 9.2 cm. A large specimen of beautiful sky-blue aragonite from China, with an almost coral-like appearance. It gets it pretty blue color from copper content.
3.2 x 2.1 x 2.0 cm. Here is a superb thumbnail size specimen of the famous pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite from Corocoro.
1.6 x 1.6 x 0.9 cm. This locality is known for its unique pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite, but this "floater" specimen features a non-pseudomorphed pseudo-hexagonal crystal of beige Aragonite which is associated with rarely seen bright blue Chalcophyllite crystals.
A stellar example of this lead-rich aragonite species, with exquisite symmetry! 8 x 6 x 6 cm
Another stellar example of this lead-rich aragonite species, with equally elegant symmetry ! PERFECT FLOATER! It was found with a miner by Don Olson, in Tsumeb in 2000 8 x 4.5 x 1.5 cm
4.2 x 3.9 x 3.0 cm. A lustrous, sharply terminated, complete all-around, pearlescent, 2.2 cm aragonite variety tarnowitzite crystal set upright on contrasting malachite-covered matrix from the Tsumeb Mine. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
