Shimmering golden crystals of golden rutile, rising from a "base" of hematite - from recent finds in Minas Gerais. The pics makes them look opaque yellow, but they are in person shiny and golden. 3.5 x 1.7 x 0.8cm
A sharp, lustrous crystal of hematite from England, the variety called "kidney ore"; the contacts show its radial growth. 4.1 x 3.6 x 2.6cm
A showy mounded specimen of lustrous, preferentially hematite-tinted, doubly terminated calcite crystals to 1.7 cm with pryite cyrstals on massive pyrite matrix from the Gloria Mine of South Africa. Scattered damage to a few crystal tips and one small area are certainly not detracting from this two-sided piece. 5.7 x 4.7 x 4.5 cm
Shimmering golden crystals of rutile extending from a natural "base" of hematite, from new finds in Minas Gerais. 2.7 x 2.5 x 0.6cm
A VERY rare and wonderful American pseudomorph specimen from the Hauck Collection. An epidote crystal has been entirely replaced with quartz and hematite, with its original sharp form perfectly retained in the pseudomorphed crystal! A later generation of gemmy little quartz crystals decorate the faces. This is the sort of thing you just cannot find around no matter how much you want one; every now and then one is released from an old collection, and that is the only way to get one. . . 9.7 x 3.6 x 2.5cm
A wonderfully aesthetic Argentine hematite miniature, with the smaller crystals creating a perfect setting for the pristine 2-cm octahedron that anchors the specimen. 3.6 x 3.3 x 2.4cm
A fine Swiss hematite cluster, with the traditional stacked, flattened crystal form, and high luster which does not show up in the pics. These crystals are complete all around, with the normal contact at the bottom where the specimen was removed from the matrix. Ex. Hauck Collection. 4.3 x 2.9 x 1.1cm
From near the famous Thunder Bay locality - this is a VERY unusual specimen of amethyst with hematite, in that rather than the usual plate of smaller crystals, very dark, this is a single large crystal, rather gemmy, with a phantom inside that shows the hematite coating. 5 x 4.5 x 3 cm
This is an old Brazilian hematite that came out of the Hauck Collection, a lamellar compound crystal of flat plates with gunmetal luster, complete all around (with the matrix attachment contact along one edge). Another old label accompanying this specimen shows it to have passed to Hauck from an old collection in New York. 3.0 x 2.4 x 0.4cm
This locality dates back to the times of the Etruscans, and is one of the great classic European localities. The Hematites from Elba are some of the most unique and distinctive Hematites in the world. This specimen is a comprised of several sharp, lustrous, layered, iridescent hexagonal blades forming a very attractive little thumbnail. A great representation of the species from this locality. 3.0 x 2.5 x 1.4cm
From the recent finds in Brazil, crystals of golden rutile in platy hematite. 2.5 x 2.2 x 0.5cm
Very similar to the material from the nearby Thunder Bay locality, this is a cluster of sharp, lustrous amethyst crystals with pretty inclusions of rust-colored hematite inside. 5.8 x 3.6 x 2.4cm
A BEAUTIFUL, old-time English specimen of a transparent, lustrous, trigonal calcite scalenohedron partially included with hematite from Frizington. A termination edge bruise is out of sight. 5.1 x 2.7 x 2.0 cm
An extremely aesthetic cluster of translucent, red-orange, botryoidal fluorite majestically rises from a druse of chalcedony. The cluster is comprised of approximately 5 intergrown spheres and stands 4 cm high. The whole sculptural quality of the specimen is outstanding. These red fluorites are very uncommon, and with lustre and translucency such as this one, more so. This would be one of the better examples I have seen 11.5 x 6.5 x 4.6 cm
One of the longest and best-preserved examples of these famous pseudos that I have seen, this is very dramatic in person! The piece is complete all around and 3-dimensional! These occured as floaters in the sand of the White Desert, and erode out over time. French dealer Alain Carion and his son made the long trek out to colelct them several times, but I am told that it is difficult now. The specimen features cube-liek crystals sticking out every which way from a central stalk, and displays equally nicely whether upside-down with a knob on top or this-way-up as marty had it with the more isolated crystals on top. 16.2 x 3.9 x 3.8 cm
