3.2 x 2.9 x 2.2 cm to 6.6 x 4.7 x 2.5 cm. The Amethyst locality at Bombori was recently producing specimens about six or seven years ago, but it seems as though the locality has "dried up" and these attractive and eye-catching display pieces are not coming out of ground at the moment. The specimens from this locality show a variety of different crystal habits. All 12 of the specimens in this lot feature Amethyst on Calcite (some of which have underlain "Chlorite"). Some of the more unique pieces in this lot are those crystals with the rarely seen "reverse scepter" habit.

Calcite, Hematite from Santa Eulalia District, Mun. de Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-244248a.jpg]

11.4 x 10.8 x 5.8 cm. A very attractive cabinet calcite specimen from recent finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Sharp, lustrous, and translucent, dogtooth calcite crystals are partially coated with hematite and have striking, clay-stained, internal hematite phantoms. Crystals reach 7.0 cm on this piece.

Calcite (Var: Cobaltoan Calcite) from Bou Azzer, Bou Azzer District, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate Province, Souss-Massa-Draâ Region, Morocco [db_pics/mdpics/MD-244266b.jpg]

5.5 x 3.3 x 2.1 cm. Amongst the fine cobaltoan calcites that have been coming from Bou Azzer have been just a few of these amazing shocking pink specimens, presumably from a higher concentration of cobalt, but whatever the case, the crystals just have this vivid saturation of color. These crystals are extremely gemmy and lustrous and reach 5 mm and the tiny bit of malachite is a nice accent. Ex. Tarnowski Collection.

MD-244268 - Calcite, Sphalerite - - Archived

7.8 x 4.0 x 1.8 cm. A really fine and striking combination plate from the Elmwood Mine. Very gemmy, amber calcite scalenhedra richly and beautifully cover the ruby-jack sphalerite matrix. Many of the calcites are doubly terminated. This excellent piece is very nearly pristine. Calcites of this gemmy quality came from only one small find. Ex. Tarnowski Collection.

Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite, Calcite from Cavnic (Kapnic; Kapnik), Maramures Co., Romania [db_pics/mdpics/MD-244274b.jpg]

8.5 x 4.8 x 2.4 cm. The historic mines at Cavnic, Romania have produced a wide variety of well-crystallized mineral species and this fine combination piece is certainly one of them. Highly lustrous, lightly iridescent, pyramidal, brass-yellow chalcopyrite crystals to 2.4 cm are the highlight of this fine piece. Lustrous, striated, black sphalerite crystals and colorless, translucent calcite crystals round out this classic combination piece. Ex. Tarnowski Collection.

11.0 x 10.0 x 5.3 cm. Blocky, translucent and lustrous, hematite-tinted calcite rhombs to 3.7 cm are aesthetically strewn across the gossan matrix crust of this fine cabinet specimen from recent finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. All of the large rhombs are pristine.

7.4 x 6.4 x 4.5 cm. A fine and rich cobaltoan calcite specimen from Bou Azzer of lustrous, translucent, vivid pink, 6-sided, calcite crystals with trigonal terminations. Bright, highly representative material.

9.8 x 7.2 x 7 cm. A truly exceptional combination piece with one of the finest Indian Calcites I have seen, lustrous Stilbites, and a nice green Fluorapophyllite. The centerpiece Calcite is a stunning 7.8 cm on the front edge, with superb luster and excellent gemminess. The front edge is also the main twinning plane. What makes the Calcite itself even more exceptional are the two wings, which appear to be twins of the very rare {0221} twinning law. Each occurs on opposing ends of the main twinning plane. The Stilbites are primarily bowties up to 3 cm with incredible luster, and the Fluorapophyllite is a combination of 2 cm green bladed crystals. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.

3.5 x 3.2 x 2.2 cm. Fascinating and very attractive spheres of pink Manganoan Calcite that grew as a crust on Kutnohorite crystals. The Manganoan Calcite has a lovely drusy sparkly, nice color, and brilliant fluorescence. The largest of the spheres is 2.7 cm front to back, and 2 cm from edge to crease. Ex. Charlie Key.

Celestine, Calcite, Rhodochrosite from Wessels Mine (Wessel's Mine), Hotazel, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa [db_pics/mdpics/MD-244357b.jpg]

6.4 x 4.8 x 4.6 cm. Celestine from the Wessels Mine is quite rare. The spheres of Celestine blades have a beautiful silver-blue color and superb luster. These are combined with gemmy and lustrous Calcite rhombs, which range up to 1.1 cm on edge. Both rest on Quartz matrix and there is abundant botryoidal Rhodochrosite. A truly excellent combination specimen. Ex. Charlie Key.

5.8 x 4.2 x 3.5 cm. An outstanding, classic combination piece from the Goboboseb Mountains in Namibia. The wheel-shaped Prehnite cluster is superb - good luster, attractive mint-green color, and translucent. It is an amazing 2.8 cm across. Attached is a sharp white 2.3 cm Analcime crystal. Both rest on euhedral Calcite and Quartz crystals. Charlie loved prehnite and had a large subcollection of the material. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.

7.5 x 6 x 5.5 cm. A large pair of intergrown, gemmy twinned Calcites from the Wessels Mine. The large (up to 6.5 cm) crystals are gemmy, zoned, and have luster that ranges from frosted to superb. The red fluorescence, classic for Wessels, is an attractive faint red deep within. In form, they rather remind me of the famous yellow twinned calcites from Sarbay. Ex. Charlie Key.

5.6 x 4 x 3.2 cm. An attractive cluster of beautiful pink Manganoan Calcite in elongated crystals up to 2 cm. The terminations are rounded, and the habit looks like long kernels of corn. The luster is silky, which nicely complements the pink color. Superb fluorescence. Ex. Charlie Key.

Calcite from Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India [db_pics/mdpics/MD-244444a.jpg]

4.5 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm. A fine combination of Calcite on Calcite, the likes of which I haven’t seen before. The base Calcite is clear and gemmy, with the perfectly made cleaved base. On top is a sharp blocky smoky-brown Calcite overgrown along the major edge of the lower crystal. The brown Calcite is 3 cm long, and has an attractive silky luster that complements the gemminess of the Calcite. Ex. Charlie Key.
