Azurite.  Sterling Hill or Franklin, New Jersey.  A thin coating of blue azurite on the typical fl. calcite matrix with dense franklinite.  The matrix looks a bit more like Franklin than Sterling Hill material, but it is hard to tell for sure.  It is definitely from one of these localities, and azurite is rare at both of them.
Disp. face about 4" x 2 1/2".  Ship. wt. 1.8 lbs.
#CR260 ... $24.00




CR185. Brookite & Quartz - AR Brookite & Quartz - Magnet Cove, Arkansas. A famous locality. Several tiny brookite xtls on larger xtls of gray quartz. There is also one large brookite xtl (left of center, in photo) but it is incomplete; it was damaged probably during extraction from the host rock. MIN specimen, ca. 3.5 x 4 cm. Ship wt. 0.3 lbs. #CR185 ... $15.00  Reduced to $10.00

Ship. wt. 0.3 lb.
#CR256 .... $16.00



Calcite and scheelite specimen for sale 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 on prehnite specimen for sale 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. Overal specimen size is about 2 1/2 inches across largest dimension. #CR04007 ... $15.00


Galena & chalcopyrite - Missouri
Galena & Chalcopyrite
- with sphalerite - West Fork Mine, Reynolds County, Missouri.  Small, lustrous, modified octahedral galena xtls with many, tiny chalcopyrite xtl aggregates; individual galena and chalcopyrite xtls are best visible with loupe, but specimen is highly aesthetic for cabinet display.

Back of specimen is mostly sphalerite micro xtls.
