10.5 x 9.6 x 7.5 cm. A large and very distinctive cluster of intriguing and very gemmy green Fluorites. The Fluorite crystals are a beautiful clear green, and the octahedrons (exposed up to 2 cm) are highly stepped on the faces with mirror-like flat terminations at each tip. The Fluorite has a blue-white fluorescence reminiscent of English Fluorites. Ex. Charlie Key Collection.
A gorgeous combination specimen featuring a lilac-pink GEM kunzite crystal, measuring 5 x 2.5 x 1 cm in size, rising majestically from a matrix of the snowiest white blades of Cleavelandite you've ever seen. Aside from the fact that the kunzite is about the most gorgeous rich color you could ask for, the contrast is simply striking and it is more dramatic in person. 12.9 x 10.5 x 5.3 cm
A PERFECT 10! The piece has no damage, no repairs, and is a complete floater all around with all terminations present on both quartz and the pink elbaite. 8.2 x 7.7 x 3.5 cm
8.2 x 6.3 x 2.8 cm. An example of the classic hematite-included amethyst from Thunder Bay, with some minute red inclusions within vivid purple amethyst. Unusually, this is a 3-dimensional knob with real matrix underneath, and complete-all-around. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
8.3 x 5.9 x 2.7 cm. A fine combination piece, representative of the locality and with good luster. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
7.2 x 6.2 x 4.9 cm. This plate from the famous and hard-to-reach Spruce Claim has unusual, bright inclusions within the central quartz crystal. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
10.4 x 8.2 x 3.9 cm. An unusual quartz specimen from any locale, but particularly from here. I have not seen quite this habit from the place before, though it is known for twins and elongated singles. The long, extended, tabular crystal is very striking and ends in a flourish with a small secondary attached crystal. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
6.3 x 5.3 x 4.3 cm. A pocket of red-tinted quartz, unusual for this New Jersey trap rock locality. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
4.9 x 4.6 x 3.0 cm. Unusual quartz crystals, showing a dramatic reverse sceptre effect which is fairly uncommon. These are quite good for this remote locality. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
7.0 x 5.0 x 1.9 cm. A fine sparkly combination piece from this remote locality. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
8.4 x 6.5 x 3.7 cm. An attractive quartz cluster, unusual for the locality actually, with little enargite and bornite crystals, and some overgrown pyrite underneath. Classic combination for the locale. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
5.9 x 4.2 x 3.1 cm. The rhodochrosite here has a particularly bright color to it, and the overall effect of mixed rhodochrosite and quartz with sulfides is striking. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
8.7 x 8.3 x 5.2 cm. A typical Pikes Peak combination of stark white feldspar with contrasting smoky quartz crystals. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
8.8 x 6.2 x 4.3 cm. A sparkling, 3-dimensional specimen with brilliantly lustrous lazulites on sparkling quartz crystals. The lazulites reach 1 cm. The quartz provides the ideal background to display them and this piece overall is so 3-dimensional. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
8.4 x 5.1 x 4.3 cm. This is a classic sceptre quartz from this well-known old locality, but in unusually large size. The amethyst sceptre is lustrous and very glassy, complete all around. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
