Two adularia crystals are grown together to a quite impressive floater-piece of good quality here. The crystals are glassy and show very nice luster. Most beautiful about this specimen is the surface of the polyhedral main crystal, which reflects the light in many ways and shows rainbow-colors at the core. A very nice effect on a virtually flawless piece!

This thumbnail shows utter brilliance, a doubly terminated amethyst crystal, water clear and on a nice quartz matrix. The amethyst is especially sharp and virtually free of any kind of imperfections, save for one incredibly small chip that is, if at all, visible only from the backside. The amethysts surface is highly lustrous on 360°. The supporting quartz matrix shows good luster and is covered in some iron-oxide to provide contrast. All in all this is a real marvel of highest quality!

Perfect textbook aesthetics combined with high quality crystals is like the holy grail for every mineral collector. This smaller specimen nicely offers these characteristics. Brilliantly lustrous tabular hematite with brightly red rutile, presented on a small matrix-piece that is covered with calcite on all sides. Still, there is one blemish to be mentioned: A small break at the very top, that loweres the price on this otherwise perfect specimen. A fantastic piece if you can live with a small imperfection!

A octahedral pyrite crystal on a contrasting white quartz matrix, strikingly aesthetic and of impressive crystal size. The main pyrite is flawless and a staggering 5.3 cm in diameter (4.1 cm on edge). The surface is somewhat rough but not damaged. In combination with just the right amount of quartz this is a very attractive specimen from the famous pyrite deposite in Peru.

A majestic amethyst specimen from the Austrian Alps that is in extremely well condition. The main crystal is a stunning 8.5 cm in diameter, accompanied by smaller horizonally lying side-crystals. The whole aggregate is heavily etched all over, yet all crystals are still very well defined. As a floater - the bottom where it detached from the rock is all re-crystallized - of impressive size and with only one tiny chip at the side-crystal, this is surely one of the best amethyst group from the Sundergrund!

Alpine bornie is a rare thing to get thus we are happy to present such a classy specimen here. A large number of bornite crystals are distributed across the matrix that is otherwise covered in yellowish mica. The metallic black bornite stand in stark contrast to the background which makes for a nice appearance. About damage there is not much to report with some peripheral exceptions but nothing serious. A charming piece for the collector of Alpine classics and rare specimens in general. in den Alpen sehr selten. Bekannter Kupferbergbau am fuße des Hochkönigs. Nicht mehr aktiv.

A sparkling landscape of glassy white adularia with silvery mica, black hematite and dark green chlorite on matrix! The quality of the adularia is just outstanding, most of the smaller crystals being completely clear. The largest crystal is around 3 cm in size, shiny white and accompanied by small hematite. A classic paragenesis from the Zillertal that shows best quality adularia in typical association!
