This fluorite comes from the famous pocket made by the Ruffibachs many decades ago. It is not sawn at the back as most of the specimens I have seen from this locale. The two crystals are well situated on the matrix, showing a great quality. You just need to see the video of that piece and you will quickly see the beauty of this specimen.

The crystal on this piece has a very good size of 2.2 cm from tip to tip, and is well situated on a beautiful matrix in combination with some small crystals of snow white adularia. The edges of the crystal are very sharp and the color is very nice too. Over all, this is a beautiful piece with great aesthetics and perfection.

What an exceptional tourmaline! This fat crystal is showing orange, yellow and green colors which complements one another very well. Especially to find such an intense orange color on a tourmaline is almost not possible! It is highly lustrous and very impressive in person!

We simply call this specimen, due to the shape of the fluorite as you might well see on the picture, the “Number 3â€. The fluorite itself is of very good condition, holding a beautiful pink color and distinct crystal modification. The white matrix adds a perfect contrast and accentuates the fluorite prettily. This specimen was found in the 1960s at the “Rufibach-pocketâ€. Though most of the pieces from this find are cut at the bottom, this specific one is not. All in all, this is a piece of remarkable shape and quality.

This rare combination of black schorl on colorless topaz is strikingly beautiful for its dramatic contrast and the outstanding composition. The topaz has a flawless termination is lustrous and mainly clear. Unlike on the picture, the color has a slight greenish tinge. At the sides you find schorl inclusions that add a nice touch to the already pretty view. For a better understanding of color and clarity, please watch the video. You will not be disappointed!

Flos ferri, the “flowers of iron†are a sought form of aragonite that are typical for the classic locale of Erzbert, Austria. While they are usually white, in some very rare events there were blue versions found. This very piece is one of those exceptional pieces. Admittedly most of the longer, fragile aragonite tentacles are broken, but considering the rareness of this mineral it’s hard to ever find a piece without those damages. It is definitely still a nice view of soothing blue color and nice structure, with silvery shimmering surface and some matrix to hold the iron flowers together and form this incredibly rare specimen.

The unusual shape of a screwdriver is what makes this piece special! The crystal is mostly black but strikingly green at the termination. It's interesting and astounding to see the typical triangular shape of a tourmaline broken down to its mere outlines! The crystal is in good condition with only some minor edge-wear. A good choice for any collector of unusually shaped fine minerals.
