The size of these pericline crystals is absolutely stunning! The largest crystal at the center is around 4 cm long, massive and very well defined. The whole specimen is exceptionally three-dimensional which looks really amazing in person. As a complete floater it is in best condition all around.

I have seen many specimens from this find some years ago on the market. Though, most of the specimens have disappeared very quickly and there are just a few specimens left on the market at the moment. Most of the crystals were not on such a nice matrix what makes this specimen different from the crowd. This is an amazing specimen which is showing great aesthetics and color. The size of the crystal is 4.1 cm on its longest dimension.

This titanite is by far the very best specimen from a recent find of a small pocket in the Tormiq valley, Pakistan. The whole pocket has yield just around half a dozen specimens of good quality. The crystal of this specimen has an excellent quality, because of the intense green color and the sharp edges! The size of the crystal is 2 x 1.8 cm with a thickness of 7 mm. The matrix of this specimen is very sparkling in person which is not visible on the picture. The combination with the white albite makes all the specimens out of this pocket really special. It is the dream of every collector to get this quality on white matrix because of the great contrast. I have almost never seen this, just a few specimens from the Alps have appeared to me in the past and these have always been impossible to get. The whole specimen is completely free of damage. This specimen is certainly good enough for the advanced collector of high demands.

A stunning cluster of tourmaline, with a very sharp termination, and pristine all around. It has the classic style from this locality, which is very typical. The luster is beautiful and it is very glassy in comparison to other specimens, which I have seen in the last years.The color saturation is very intense and it shows the typical color change from pink to green. No repair!

This is a beautiful milky quartz, with great aesthetics, a very nice sparkling surface and it is completely free of damage. The white color looks very special in person, it appears as though the crystal is covered by a layer of white snow. Also the bottom side is fully crystalized.

This is a beautiful quartz sceptre from the famous Rauris Valley in the Austrian Alps. The crystal shows high luster and clarity! On the back side a small calcite is present, which looks very lovely in person. It is completely free of damage and as a cool extra, the crystal is well doubly terminated. This piece remained for decades in a german collection, from whom I recently got it out.

This single crystal of fluorite strikes as a massive specimen, free of any damage and with great color. Actually, the color is even better – more to the red end of the spectrum – than at picture and video and shines truly fantastic when illuminated. The surface of this fluorite is naturaly etched, which adds much to the general impact of the specimen. At the backside you can see calcite, grown into the fluorite. All in all, this piece has a distinct alpine character and is of very fine quality!

WOW, what a beautiful aquamarine! Color, clarity, contrast, luster and aesthetics are perfectly present at this specimen. The piece is in a very good condition over all with just some very tiny edge wear at the back side of the crystal.
