The truly unusual composition of this specimen reminds me of an eagle with spread wings, landing on a mountainside. The barite is flawless, lustrous and gemmy clear. The wurtzite matrix is not thicker than half a centimeter, as it was grown on another crystal (probably calcite) which then dissolved and left this remarkable piece. At the backside you can still see the imprint of this crystal. A unique sight in fantastic quality.

Like juicy oranges, these mimetite crystals impress with strong and bright color. The lustrous surface even increases the effect. Sitting on a brown and orange matrix, this specimen gives the overall impression of an exotic fruit, ready to be picked. The crystals are sharp-edged, lustrous and bright, in parts even clear. With size of up to 1.1 cm in diameter, you really don't have to search for them on this remarkable and virtually flawless piece. There have not been any new finds in quite some time, so we are happy to present such an extraordinary piece, rich in details and simply appealing!

The aesthetics of this aragonite specimen is quite impressive. Very fine, snow-white branches are covering the matrix while larger crystals are towering above like trees. An overly attractive piece in good condition with an magically intact landscape of thin branches. A well composed specimen that is beautiful and very much appealing on all sides.

Another "screwdriver" of comparable quality but slightly smaller. The crystal is mostly black but strikingly green at the termination. It's interesting and astounding to see the typical triangular shape of a tourmaline broken down to its mere outlines. The crystal is free of any damage all around.

A glassy foater specimen of etched fluorite from Italy. The surface is frosted but smooth enough to let you see inside the clear crystal. It is free of any damage and shows a greenish tinge. Near the backside you find some spots of purple that distribute the color throughout the fluorite. Very 3-dimensional and appealing in person!

One large, 2.1 cm sphalerite of great red-orange color sits on a sparkling quartz matrix like on a floating ship. The crystal is unusually grown with a striking, organically appearing termination. The matrix is shaped like a shard that is overgrown with small quartz crystals on all sides. The equally beautiful backside hosts a second, 1.1 cm sphalerite of matching quality. This is a brilliant, flawless specimen of utter aesthetics!

This is a characteristic piece from Serifos Island in very best condition! The whole piece is rather 3-dimensional and lively with translucent elongated crystals with pointed terminations that are all free of any damage. The intensive green color, caused by acicular actinolite inclusions, is easily lit through the translucent crystals. The surface has a nice waxy luster.Perfect in quality and aesthetics, this specimen has no flaws whatsoever and is a great example for this rare green variety of quartz. Very nice in person!

This single anatase from the legendary Hardangervidda is a sharp pyramidal crystal of very nice quality. Most amazing is the intensive blue color that radiates from the top section when backlight is applied. Very well developed and in near flawless condition!
