Beautiful radial cluster of gemmy and lustrous light lavender crystals, the longest of which is about .8 cm! Truly an excellent specimen and one of the better thumbnails form these now-famous 1984 finds. Hard to come by today on the market, too.

Lovely elongated cluster of white-clear crystals with sharp gemmy tips. Attractive and aesthetic, this is not your ordinary Creedite in any way. These are HUGE CRYSTLS for the locale, and elegantly curved. They look more like heulandite than creedite! An excellent specimen, BETTER IN PERSON.

8P1 - Creedite - SOLD
Santa Eulalia West Camp, Chihuahua, Mexico
cabinet, 11 x 7 x 3 cm
ex.  Perkin Sams

Sorry, we have no images of this specimen at present.
This is a magnificent Mexican creedit not just for sheer size (almost unprecedented on the market today) but also for quality and crystal size. These crystals are lustrous, gemmy, and have a deep lavender hue (more pronounced in person if anything). They exceed 2 cm in size in some parts of the specimen. As importantly, the glassy lustre is just astonishing and in the top percentile for the material. A piece such as this would have been uncommon even in the early 1980's when they were coming out through John Whitmire, and you can see it was exceptional from the fact that it was purchased for the collection of Perkin and Ann Sams of Houston (the donor who gave the Houston Museum of Natural History its big leap info mineral fame ).

This matrix specimen has rosettes of bright, very glassy and gemmy creedite crystals to 2.75 cm in length. The individual crystals radiate out in a starburst patterns. The stark white color of the crystals, and a really glistening wet look make this a superior specimen. Minimal damage in a few spots, but this does not detract much.

Nestled in a concave shaped vug are bright, glassy and gemmy crystals of colorless creedite, in crystals to 2.25 cm in length. I particularly like that the crystals are standing up, shooting out and away from the matrix. A few of the crystals are also doubly-terminated. An attractive matrix specimen VERY MUCH beyond the norm for the finds here, with exceptional glassy lustre and brightness - and in a good collector size

CREEDMEX-1 - Creedite - $ 400
Abasolo Mine, Navidad, Durango, Mexico
miniature, 5.1 x 4.6 x 4.3 cm

CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE:

A superb, complete-all-around, very equant and spherical cluster with sharp crystals and high lustre. Almost pristine, with just very minor missing xls here or there (as with many such specimens). A floater!

CREEDMEX-10 - Creedite - $ 500
Abasolo Mine, Navidad, Durango, Mexico
small cabinet, 7.7 x 5.5 x 4.9 cm

CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE:

A lustrous, spiky ball of creedite crystals perched on matrix! Matrix pieces are very uncommon.This one is nearly complete around the back, and LOOKS very fine, though it has a small damaged or contacted area o the right side (and hence the lower price compared to if the right side was a swell-crystallized as the rest). Still, it looks very fine, the matrix perch is eye-catching, and numerous crystals reach 1 cm.All have excellent color and lustre characteristic of this new find

CREEDMEX-11 - Creedite on Fluorite - $ 1800 SOLD
Abasolo Mine, Navidad, Durango, Mexico
small cabinet, 7.0 x 6.1 x 5.6 cm

CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE:

I looked through literally 1000 specimens from 2 large, huge pockets, to pick my choice of the very best of this new find. Out of all the smaller sized specimens, mostly all humdrum and similar, a few such as this stood out. This piece has a gorgeous cluster perched atop a natural pedestal of fluorite. The radial spray is truly complete all around, like a disco ball frozen with orange lights shooting out of it. It is as nearly pristine as you can realistically get, with just a few very minor broken crystals amidst dozens. The individual crystals on this specimen spray out dramatically, and are very transparent. They reach 1.7 cm in size. This specimen stands out to my eye for its completeness, balance, and the matrix. No question, it is pricey for a small example from this find, where most smaller pieces sell for less...BUT its a very rare combination of qualities, and one that quite literally LEAPS out from the crowd of other pieces around it.

CREEDMEX-12 - Creedite - $ 400
Abasolo Mine, Navidad, Durango, Mexico
small cabinet, 7.0 x 4.9 x 3.9 cm

CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE:

A very attractive, salmon-orangey spray of creedites. The color here is more typical of older finds, not intense orange. Still, it has the lustre and transparency of the new material, and so sparkles nicely! This piece has superb, elongated crystals to about 1.5 cm all over it, and is complete around the backside (though with smaller crystals)
