One single, extremely well developed topaz is beautifully accompanied by white cleavelandite which represents the classic combination for this exceptional locale. The crystal is gem-clear through and through with one internal crack but no damage or repair. The complex termination - all nicely lustrous - is stunning and beautiful alike! The frontside features some pristinely white cleavelandite around the base as well as a horizontal topaz side-crystal but which is partly overgrown with the albite and contacted at the back. Overall this is a brilliant exemplar of the sherry-colored, stunningly designed type of topaz with beautiful aesthetics and in best condition all over!

A bizarrely bulky specimen that shows characteristic cerussite growth patterns like imprinted on its surface. All around there are no broken or damaged parts only unusual etchings and striated crystallization. The cerussite is in large parts transparent and of cream-white color. At the bottom it is grown into some matrix which is also crystallized and sparkling. A highly attractive choice that is both unusually shaped and characteristic for the famous locale.

Two scepter heads with a slight smoky tinge are protruding from a well crystallized quartz matrix forming a 90° angle. Especially those heads are of good quality, limpid and free of any noteworthy flaws. The smaller, grape-like arranged quartz have tiny glaring red inclusions we deem to be lepidocrocite. Most special about this fine piece is the exceptional aesthetics - 3-dimensional and in very good condition. A striking piece in person!

This well developed copper specimen is from a small find that features not only appealing shapes of arborescent copper but also a rare micro-coating of gold which gives it a nice brassy sheen. The specimen appears very organic, grown like a coral reef, with branchings on all sides and no contacts. Very attractive and extremely hard to find for this rare and fascinating gold coating! Ex.

A cluster of large hexagonal vanadinite crystals, up to 1.8 cm in diameter, on matrix. The vanadinite is lustrous and shows a dark cherry red color inside the translucent crystals cores. In parts there is a sand brown stain to the surface but thats fortunately mostly at the underside, the rest is bright and clean. About damage: there is none, even the backside is nicely studded with tiny vanadinite crystals. A rather large vanadinite cluster of great quality and sculpturesque shape!
