TOP bright pink color, gemminess, and nice fat crystals. A super miniature with excellent quality! There is some minor damage at the bottom, the rest being pristine. 4.7 x 3.2 x 1.8 cm
Admittedly a bit “matrixy” and not as bright pink, but this one has the largest crystals of the whole batch – to 1.5 cm. They are a differrent habit with modified scalenohedra and a slight matte texture to the surfaces. 6 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm
THIS ONE practically GLOWS! This one is really different, and stunning in its own way. The crystals are flattened, with light cores, and an INTENSE shocking pink color LEAPS out at you - perhaps because the color is so concentrated in flattened disc-shaped crystals. 7.2 x 3.8 x 3 cm
This is another really different one, with the color tending almost to purple-maroon; and instead of glassy crystals, they are shimmering and frosty in appearance because of a minute secondary coating of calcite "frost". Many of these crystals measure one centimeter in width! 5.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm
Flattened disc-shaped crystals, but with a pure, hot-neon pink without a tinge of red as some have. VERY PRETTY! This is another specimen that just GLOWS with color even more than the others! 7 x 6 x 2.5 cm
This specimen not only has crystals with super gemminess and color, but it has a wonderful overall form – a dome, complete all the way around, COVERED with fine, bright, gemmy crystals. Note it is also of good size compared to others of the pocket. 7 x 6 x 2.5 cm
This exceptionally gemmy piece , with association of calcite, is from the famus finds of the late 1800s and such are very rare! it is a colorful and showy speciment hat is affordable and doesnt break the bank, given that it has some admitted damage between the major crystals and has been priced down accordingly. But, its show value is high and it remains a very rare specimen 3.0 x 2.0 x 1.9 cm
Extremely sharp chalcocites to 1 cm perched o ncntrasting calcite matrix make this a very special, unique miniature for the famous locality, mined actively during the Civil War era. Such specimens are few and far between now, and this is a very choice piece, aesthetically. 3.9 x 3.5 x 3.0 cm
This specimen features a geode vug with colorless, lustrous, calcite crystals, to 1.0 cm across, hosting two diverging sprays of lustrous, brassy, millerite, to 3.5 cm in length. An aesthetic and impressive millerite, to be sure! These came out in the 1960s from a small locality in the middle of a city park, and it is not possible to collect there any more. Specimens of this quality are VERY SCARCE. Actually, I am told it really was sort of a night-time thing in the past, too... 4.4 x 3.1 x 2 cm
This is a fine example of stalactitic, cave calcite, growth. Colorless, lustrous, translucent, calcite crystals, to 3.0 cm across, have grown on and around the original stalactite. CLASSIC for the locality! 8.5 x 6.1 x 6.1 cm
Beautiful cluster of SHARP, GEMMY calcites perched atop stellerite! these came out in the mid-90s, but I have not seen a good one since then. This is a well-balanced miniature of high quality for the find. 4.3 x 3.6 x 1.8 cm
Hard to choose between this one and the first one – almost the same size, same super quality,just gorgeous! This specimen has slightly rougher horizons on the edges. 3.8 x 3 x 2 cm
This is more pink than most. This one does not have quite the bright reddest-pink of the others, but the crystals are MUCH larger – in fact, unusually elongated, to nearly one centimeter. The crystals radiate from a dome-shaped matrix. A few VERY minor tiny bruises, as you can see. NOTE the color in the top image is most accurate 4 x 3 x 2.5 cm
A rounded piece with astonishing color and gemmy crystals completely covering the display face, and with fine color and transparency – a cute miniature! 3.7 x 2.5 x 1.6 cm
Big, fat, wonderfully gemmy crystals, with some accenting matrix. Choice in regards to the unusual isolation of the larger crystals here compared to others in the lot with mor euniform coverage! 4.8 x 4.2 x 3 cm
