Calcite with Scheelite and Fluorite - Hunan province, China.
Beautiful CAB size display specimen of many sparkling calcite
crystals. It is hard to appreciate them unless the specimen is seen in
real life where it can be rotated in the light.The
many, tiny scheelite crystals fluoresce brilliant blue in short-wave UV
(shown in right-hand photo), while the calcite has a very pale
yellowish response. The fluorite crystals are visible with a hand lens
but do not appear to fluoresce. Size: about 5 inches across longest
diagonal, 4 inches wide x 3 1/2 inches tall. Calcite crystals to
1/2". #F173 ... $50.00

Copper - Franklin, New Jersey. Native copper with green willemite and a pale tan mineral that resembles serpentine or perhaps ganophyllite. There is also of course franklinite. There is a minor amount of a purple mineral that resembles hodgkinsonite (third photo).
Franklin native coppers like this don't come up too often on the market.

Copper on Prehnite - Osceola #13 Mine, Houghton
County,
Michigan. Small xtls of copper on green prehnite. As with most of these
we've seen, specimen has likely been acid etched to expose the copper,
which at one time was embedded in calcite. A couple of the copper xtls
are fairly well formed, with some definite xtl faces evident at 10x
mag. Overall specimen size is about 2 1/2 inches across largest dimension.
