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!

The colorful combination of purple amethyst with crimson red hematite inclusions is uniquely beautiful and utterly fascinating in person!
The inclusions on this 9 cm large specimen are especially rich and fill up almost all of the short pyramidal quartz crystals.
Around the periphery where it is contacted you can nicely see the different color zones. White at the bottom, intensively purple on the upper half and with a thin zone of red hematite.
The surface shows wet-look luster and is mesmerizingly beautiful!
The Moon Light mine is one of the lesser know localities at Thunder Bay - there is no public collecting allowed there - but this specimen has the absolutely top quality!

This piece is all about quality! Set on a sparkling quartz covered matrix is a single 4.3 cm main crystal that strikes with perfectly limpid body and pristine wet look luster! It shows not the smallest ding or imperfection. Through the crystal you can see the beautiful matrix which adds some inner life to the crystal. On the back there is a smaller side-crystal that is evenly perfect. If you look for perfection and top quality, this is the piece to go for!

Complete and pristine clarity, best mirroring luster and a well-rounded composition are defining this exceptional specimen! You can really find perfection here as there is not the slightest abrasion anywhere on this aesthetic classic. Right through the many glassy crystals you can see the matrix as an appealing base with limonite adding some golden color to the quartz. The bottom is also covered in limonite and some dark pyramidal microcrystals which appear to be anatase. A stunning specimen of highest quality and attractive composition!

Golden colored quartz in best transparent quality on a nice crystallized matrix. Of course the color comes from iron oxide that coats mostly the smaller crystals around the base. The color is reflected through the sharp and glassy main crystal which generates this beautiful visual effect! The whole piece is in great condition with only minuscule abrasions but no damage anywhere!

This dark brown smoky quartz crystal is associated with an exceptionally well defined adularia crystal of impressive quality, visible at the specimen's bottom. This combination, as well as a growth of tabular mica at the backside, makes the piece special. The smoky quartz itself has a brilliantly lustrous front, it is well defined and in very well condition with only some abrasions at the backside. As you can see in the picture there are some internal cracks and inclusions but apart from that the crystal body is transparent and has a nice and warm brown color.

Two blue celestine crystals on a contrasting yellowish calcite matrix, shaped like a decorative bowl. Especially the smaller crystal on the left displays brilliant luster and transparency at a distinctive shape. The right crystal is 4.2 cm long and doubly terminated. It has cracks but is not actually damaged. It's an overall very nice and aesthetic specimen with only minor abrasions.

There's simply no better way of presenting a crystal. This doubly terminated smoky quartz is freely set on a granite matrix with smoky quartz side-crystals and white feldspar. The 8 cm main crystal is transparent, sharp, well defined and virtually perfect with only minimal abrasions. It's wonderful how both terminations are free and only the middle section is attached to the matrix. The matrix again is crystallize on all sides. Some of the smaller smokies are damaged but only on the backside and also here most crystals are intact. Very attractive and of high quality!
