This gorgeous, display-sized specimen features a totally gemmy 1-cm-long emerald perched dramatically out of sparkling crystallized calcite matrix! A beautiful matrix emerald for the price and size range, and hard to get with such nice calcite as well. In fact, this is good simply as a calcite specimen for the locality. Aside from the front-lower area which is more flat, all the framing crystals along the top are 3-dimensional (more so in person), in good shape, and complete around the edge, even
This super crystal sits on just the right amount of well-trimmed matrix, to accent and highlight the rich natural blue color. It is in the higher percentiles for color, and is complete and pristine all around. I would say its one of the best matrix aquas of this size, that I have had in the price range. The crystal measures 5.5 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm
A sharp, lustrous, very sculptural cluster of intergrown goshenite crystals. Complete all around save a small contact in the back-bottom face of one crystal and quite 3-dimensionally dramatic in person!
A sharp hexagonal crystal, complete all around and doubly-terminated, perched on just the right matrix
Numerous crystals of glassy goshenite (I keep wanting to call them apatite!) , to 1.6 cm, are perched suspended in a maze of jet black schorl on this unique and sculptural specimen. In person, it is very bright, aesthetic, and appealing for its complexity. Complete all around - on the backside more schorl and less apatite, but they are sharp and isolated.
A sharp, DOUBLY-TERMINATED floater crysatl , complete all around ....somewhat better in person; and hard to convey in pics, how nice and glassy and bright this is!
A rich plate chock-covered with glassy, lustrous, gemmy crystals to a 2.1 cm, some of them doubly-terminated, on muscovite matrix. This is a very showy, sparkly, gemmy piece!
Isolated, glassy, lustrous, gemmy crystals to 1.6 cm on muscovite matrix. Minor schorl association provides a nice contrast!
A very cute, sharp as heck, DEEP GREEN emerald crystal perched amongst contrasting calcite. The emerald is 8 mm tall and extremely well-terminated. This has super deep color, especially for a smaller crystal (small ones are usually more pale)..
A sharp, lustrous, glassy 1.5cm barrel-like crystal perched on the side of a complete quartz point - unique! This looks like apatite, it is so sharply hexagonal and gemmy and lustrous - it is a very surprising occurrence for goshenite
A rich plate chock-covered with glassy, lustrous, gemmy crystals to a whopping 2.5 cm, some of them doubly-terminated, on muscovite matrix. This is the largest good specimen of the pocket, that I know of!
A super sharp specimen, with the deepest green color you can ask for in an emerald and gemminess to boot...I think that is obvious from the photos! The gem crystal is 1 cm tall and perched nicely in matrix of crystallized calcite to make for a very balanced thumbnail specimen. Small, but of the utmost quality!
A fat, barrel-shaped, 1.4-cm emerald crysatl is perched on contrasting stark white calcite, making for a wonderful display piece that gives you a good matrix emerald crystal without breaking the bank. As with teh above, this is one of the best quality emeralds for the price that I have been able to offer. It is hard now, to find reasonably priced specimens
This stunning combination specimen features blue-green indicolites perhced on the side, and ingrown into, a gemmy pink morganite crysatl! It is a really beautiful and unusual combination the likes of which I cannot recall seeing
A beautiful crystal with a bit of matrix to accent, showing superb, deep pink color - not the typical pale pastel hue! It is also a very 3-dimensional, fat crystal with exceptional sharpness. The crystal is translucent, more so in person than it appears, but not truly gemmy. Complete on front and sides, contacted only on the bottom
