Beautiful cluster of Chrysocolla blades that is outstanding for its color and its architecture. It is equally amazing that something so seemingly fragile has only suffered the most minimal of damage in only one tiny spot near the base. Nearly pristine, and as aesthetic as can be, this is a killer. These form as replacements after selenite and were generally found 30-40 years ago, by and large.

A truly bizarre specimen featuring a todorokite crystal, crude and ugly though it is, perched on matrix. Extremely rare and unusual! This crystal may be a replacement of a previous mineral, but we do not know of what.Self collected by Chuck on a grading project in Penasquitos in the late 80's

Scattered on the sharp white quartz points here, radiating out, are lustrous and translucent, honey colored, fishtail twins of gypsum, to 3 cm in length. A few of the gypsum crystals are also doubly terminated. The quartz fluoresces a rich purple color. Lovely combo piece!

Scattered about in a jackstraw arrangement on a limonite matrix are several exceptionally glassy and gemmy, colorless crystals of gypsum to 7.7 cm in length. The two largest crystals are doubly terminated and both exhibit large phantoms at their centers that are beautiful, multi-colored gardens. A really nicer-than-most-such kind of specimen!
