See the pictures and don't forget to breath! This epidote group is not just of incredible aesthetics, but most of all holds a perfect quality. I don't know if I have ever seen such fantastic luster on an epidote! The whole front surface of the main crystal is like a flawless mirror, erupting from a group of nesting smaller crystals. Wonderful! As you might have guessed, the crystal is repaired once, but this is almost invisible from the front and thus absolutely acceptable, considering the marvelous aesthetic and uniqueness of this specimen. Most of the side crystals are perfect too, while two of them are broken, which does not at all disturb the outstanding aesthetic of this piece.

Like fruity, sugar-sweet candy, these two crystals lie on a shimmering grey muscovite matrix and let your mouth water. Fantastically lustrous and of marvelous orange color, these crystals are truly impressive and just awesome. The nicely structured surface is sparkling and allows a deeper view into the clear crystal. While the smaller crystal has one tiny wear, the main crystal is absolutely perfect. To see the fascinating beauty of this piece, please watch the video!

Beautifully crystallized on all sides, nicely composed and with accompanying Japan law twins this epidote specimen is remarkable in any respect. The main crystal is 1.7 cm thick and holds a 2.3 cm Japan law twin atop its perfect termination. With the lovely aesthetics of butterflies sitting on this dominant lustrous mineral this specimen is a fine treasure indeed. The whole piece is in excellent condition and of unique composition.

The textbook aesthetics of this piece, combined with highest quality is just amazing. The main crystal is a smoky quartz scepter with beautiful inclusions and skeletal pyramidal faces - the "windows". This main crystal proturdes from a base of nicely fanned out quartz crystals that show bright red inclusions. All in all this is a specimen of pure aesthetics made of brilliant quality crystals and perfectly composed.

What at first sight looks like a souvenir from a tourist shack – a coral reef, trapped inside a glass sculpture – is in fact a fully natural phenomenon. A perfectly grown prismatic quartz scepter with a sharp, pointed termination shows the nicest interior life I have seen so far. A beautiful, 3-dimensional rock formations, pink and yellow colored is perfectly visible through the transparent and flawless quartz. Absolutely amazing in person and a highly unusual view. The bottom shows some contacts, but generally the specimen is in very good condition.

I love the exceptional beauty of this etched specimen as it offers something immensely fascinating to the viewer. Color, shape and the incredibly perfect clarity sum up to an astonishing etched fluorite specimen. Very massy and 3-dimensional, flawless and simply beautiful. The color might be a little more to the green side of the spectrum but that is hard to capture on a picture. A piece that is even better in person!

The colorplay of this specimen is quite spectacular. While the main part is colorless with a slight yellow tinge this fluorite has a intense purple core that spreads its color throughout the whole crystal. The many details and fine structures make the search for flaws a difficult task, but a search without results anyway. This floater-piece is free of any damages and a wonderful piece of great aesthetics!

A complex arrangement of highly lustrous, doubly terminated epidote with glassy, colorless quartz on a small piece of garnet-rich matrix. The largest epidote is 4.6 cm long and 1.6 cm thick with sharp terminations and great mossy green color. All crystals are flawless and combine for a brilliant 3-dimensional sculpture of great aesthetics and quality!

Somehow typical yet somehow unusual. The large main crystal emerges from a piece of matrix, completely overgrown with small white quartz crystals. It is terminated at the bottom and flawless all over. The backside is nicely encrusted with some grey-brown matrix and quartz crystals of differing size. At the lower left side there is a weirdly curved quartz, a detail I have only rarely seen. This is a lustrous, attractive specimen of distinctive composition and remarkable crystal quality!

Shaped like a snow covered christmas tree, this is a nicely aesthetic specimen of octahedral fluorite on a white contrasting quartz matrix. The fluorite crystals are of a marvelous color combination, green at the center and deeply purple at the edges with a size that ranges from only a few millimeters up to 1.3 cm on edge. The fluorites faces are frosted. The matrix is a mat of thousands of white quartz needles that have been growing on green fluorite - you can still see the imprint as well as a small leftover of the fluorite. The periphery is contacted but the rest is in well condition with only some minor edgewear.
