This excellent smoky quartz specimen shines with wonderful luster and completely glassy and undamaged crystals! The largest crystal has around 4 cm in length and stands out from the crowd of smaller but equally brilliant crystals. Quality is absolutely breathtaking here! The smokies are set on a piece of naturally broken rock matrix and show no downsides whatsoever!

This spectacular skeletal quartz shows the highest brilliance from all sides! The crystal is completely skeletonized, creating an impressively beautiful shape reminiscent of a sculpture made of pure clear ice. The high-gloss surface captures incoming light and reflects it thousandfold, as you can much better see in our video. Absolutely amazing in person!

A true killer thumbnail! It has great luster, shape and is very well-grown on albite! Definitely the best hematite "iron rose" I have ever had in this size range! A perfect fit for every thumbnail collector.

This is the very best copper I have ever had from this locale. It is well-crystallized sitting very nice on matrix. This classic specimen looks exceptional on the picture, though it is even better in person. It's very 3-dimensional and complete all around.

This is the best pyrite I have ever got from the Swiss Alps. It has a very nice brownish red color and with a size of 6.1cm it is very impressive in person. Most of the pyrites I have seen comes from Austira and even there this would be a fine specimen. Very hard to get, especially in Switzerland.

This etched crystal of morganite is crystallized very well all around. The color is pale pink and the luster is excellent. The etching is very interesting on this specimen, because it gives it a sculpture-like shape, what looks beautiful in person. Most areas of this crystal have gem quality!

This pyrrhotite has a very good luster, great aesthetics and with 6.5cm in diameter, a very good size. The main crystal is free of damage and the whole specimen is in a very good condition over all. The size in combination with the high quality of the crystal impressed me a lot. Much better in person because it is very hard to show the good quality on the photos!

WOW! The color and gemminess of this piece are really outstanding. Actually it is completely translucent with a strong (but not too dark) smoky color. The compact shape is very impressive, which gives the specimen a very dominant appearance. It is very hard to find a piece like this nowadays!

A well-developed oversized scepter-head of intense purple color and sparkling luster is the trademark of this piece. It is of brilliant limpid quality, doubly-terminated and sits on a milky white quartz body. This little jewel is truly a nice view from all sides as you very much can see in the video!
