International Minerals #4

Quite a thick crystal of blue gem grade jeremejewite! The crystal is in perfect condition and shows beautiful etching structures on all sides!

What a fine cluster of classic Brazilian watermelon tourmaline! The front crystal has a perfect termination and shows a very deep and vivid colour.

Two intensely coloured emerald crystals perched on calcite and pyrite matrix. Both crystals are pristine and in perfect condition. Very showy specimen!

This is a large and totally clear topaz from a classic Brazilian find. The base is cleaved, and there is one spot of damage on the rear side, otherwise the crystal is in great condition. Note the well-formed growth patterns on the side faces. 491 grams of transparent cutting material! Comes with an old label indicating the specimen was sold for 2100 Schilling in 1962 (That would equal about 150 Euros today).

This is an exceptionally large, lustrous and nicely terminated single brazilianite crystal. Minor albite matrix and some smaller side crystals are attached on the lower right side. This crystal came to the market with the finds made around 2004-05, and no more specimens of this quality and size have been found ever since. Great colour and visual impact!

Very fine clear bicolour tourmaline sceptre!

Stacked fluorite cubes of deep purple colour. No damage. A little barite is attached at the side.

Transparent topaz from a classic Brazilian find! This crystal shows nicely bevelled termination faces and exceptionally fine etching patterns on the sides, resembling the forms of Ukrainian heliodors. Great condition and shape!

Stacked calcite rhombs of distinct shape (also called "Magelspat") form this wonderful floater cluster. The specimen comes with an old label indicating that it was obtained in 1951.

Curved bicolour tourmaline from California! This specimen features several crystals in parallel growth, cracked and fully rehealed at an angle during growth. The upper terminations are all in perfect condition.

What a gorgeous thumnail from Tsumeb! Twinned cerussite crystals featuring very rich inclusion of chalkotrichite, giving the full crystal a bright red colour. Two tiny spots of imperfection are present at the bottom side, however, they are smaller than 1 mm each and barely visible. Truly a fantastic and incredibly rare combo specimen!

Fine miniature of baveno twinned orthoclase from the type locality. Very showy and aesthetic! No damage.
