11.2 x 7.7 x 7.0 cm. This is a superb cabinet calcite scalenohedron with a striking chalcopyrite phantom. The pristine, glassy, amber calcite crystal can be rotated 360 degrees atop the galena matrix and the chalcopyrite phantom is very dramatic. Ex. Jack Halpern Collection.

The smithsonite is beautifully accented by sparkly, amber calcite microcrystals. On the back, powder blue chrysocolla balls to 7 mm are aesthetically scattered in a large vug.

5.8 x 3.8 x 2.0 cm. A highly lustrous and striated complete all-around and undamaged, jet-black ferberite crystal is highlighted by a 1.6 cm, upright, water-clear, flower petal-like, twinned calcite crystal. A colorless quartz crystal lies next to the calcite and the ferberite is lightly peppered with fluorite microcrystals.

8.5 x 5.5 x 4.0 cm. Superb and uncommon, very glassy, transparent, light purple fluorite dodecahedrons to 1.6 cm are scattered on matrix covered with glassy, colorless quartz crystals and nicely accented with calcite rosettes. A superb combination piece from the Nikolaevskiy Mine at Dal’negorsk. Note that the fluorites are even more interesting for their wispy inclusions of what seems to be acicular quartz, grown through them like needles into the purple depths.

11.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 cm. A very interesting pseudomorph specimen from China, where sparkly microcrystals of quartz have pseudomorphed crystals of a first generation of Calcite that has been completely replaced leaving sharp scalenohedral forms. These pseudomorphs sit on a large chunk of massive green fluorite.

6.6 x 4.8 x 3.9 cm. A glassy calcite crystal with light tan color and flattened form, standing up attractively from matrix - hard to get now from this locality, particularly in this quality. This crystal has attractive, complex "cut glass" modifications on the lower part of the display side.

11.3 x 7.4 x 6.8 cm. This Pennsylvania calcite sits jewel-like on the matrix. It is very gemmy, looking much like an Indian or Rudnyi calcite in person. It measures just over 4 cm across, and has a delightful golden-yellow hue. Very sharp faces, some striated and others smooth as glass. Ex. Feist 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.

Gemmy, powder-blue willemite crystals to 5 mm are scattered on vuggy, upright matrix lined with nicely contrasting white calcite rhombs.
