A beautiful locality rhodo specimen! This one consists of rhodo draped by a secondary coating of rhodo admixed with sparkling quartz for a really striking pink-on-red effect. It is also an unusual habit for the mine, usually seen in smaller specimens. This is a large one, in my experience, and thus highly desirable. 8.4 x 7.2 x 2.0 cm
A crystal druse of lustrous, emerald green, pseudomalachite has formed on colorless, quartz crystals, to 2.5 cm in length. This is an oldtime specimen from the heart of Cornwall. Most unusual - I have not seen another 6.2 x 4.6 x 2.1 cm
SUPERB, super-rich specimen featuring a very rich inclusion of this rarity! Specimens of this quality came out in the 1980s and are seldom seen today. This piece is complete all around, and undamaged, although the color is concentrated to the front side and display face shown. This would be one of the very best I have seen for sale recently. Amazingly, as it is the fate of most, it has not yet been polished. 4.9 x 4.9 x 3.9 cm
On a matrix of sugary-looking, white quartz are aesthetically perched, several,brown, lustrous, scheelite crystals, to 2.5 cm across. All the sparkly, sugar-like material from the halfway point of the piece down is a thin druse of colorless, beautiful, sparkling FLUORITE overlaying the qartz matrix and part of the scheelite pocket! The scheelites are supremely good for the locality and have a rich wet lustre to them! This is a spectacular specimen for the locality for both the size overall and the perch on quartz as you see it. Most unusual also, because of the fluorite association. A few scheelite crystals are even doubly terminated. Normally the Colorado scheelites do not do a lot for me, but this is special! Comes with base. 8 x 7.2 x 6.5 cm
A well formed, lustrous, golden-brown crystal of sphalerite, 3.5 cm across, on white quartz and sharply crystallized, brassy, chalcopyrite crystals, to 2 cm across. I am told these are generally pre-1950 and certainly I do not see pieces of this magnitude pop up often. It was long in Gene Meieran's sulphide collection before I traded it out of him. 5.5 x 5.4 x 4 cm
Sharp rosette of gorgeous crystals from this old [locality found 1942] and desirable US locality for rose quartz! rare! 1.5 x 1 x 1 cm
This is the best Newry mine rose quartz I have seen for sale. it is really very colorful for the locale and big, too. Interestingly, it has minor, tiny crystals of eosphorite on it! Very Rare, very pretty old timer! 4 x 3 x 2 cm
Note: The eosphorite is particularly significant in verifying the locality. Exactly typical appearance of that eosphorite. (V. King, ed.)
These spherical yellow fluorites are cool enough on any matrix, but check this one out on light purple AMETHYST! The fluorite measures 3 cm across. 8 x 5.5 x 4 cm
These spherical yellow fluorites are cool enough on any matrix, but check this one out on AMETHYST! This specimen has a smaller fluorite than the other in this update, but it is nicely perched over a field of gemmy (in this case) amethyst crystals. Another ball of fluorite is encased in the amethyst behind it. 11.5 x 9 x 6.5 cm
Quartz crystals, to 2.5 cm in length surround green crystals of augelite, to 1.5 cm. This is one of the few specimens with associated anything, let alone quartz.Large and impressive overall, it provides a fine display for a half dozen good augelite crystals 8 x 6 x 4.5 cm
This is a showy radiating quartz specimen with 2 beautiful, gemmy green Augelite crystals to 1.5 cm in length perched atop. This is one of the few specimens with associated anything, let alone quartz. It makes for a nice display, and the isolation of the crystals is uncommon here. 8 x 5 x 2.5 cm
Unusual MATRIX specimen - few were found on matrix! 1.7 x 1.2 x 0.9 cm
Exquisite matrix piece tha tcould pass for an Elba tourmaline! 3.2 x 2.0 x 1.6 cm
VERY rare matrix phenakite, and so nicely perched on quartz! 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.3 cm
2.0 x 1.5 x 0.5 cm
