As with the piece above, this fluorite shows a much better color in nature, than in the pictures. I love the exceptional beauty of this etched specimen as it offers something immensely fascinating to the viewer. The crystal is perfectly clear, a floater and in outstanding condition, with just one tiny chip - one you have to actively look for. The aesthetic of this piece is simply fantastic!

Bou Azzer is easily the most famous and rich source for high class erythrite specimens worldwide and has produced collection pieces since the 1960s. This specimen is an old classic of superb quality and captivating appearance. A piece of grey rock that is covered in brilliantly lustrous and gemmy erythrite crystals on half its surface. The sharp crystals are very much stacked together, reaching around 1.2 cm in length. Overall this piece is in great condition with only some peripheral issues. An impressive piece altogether, elegant and appealing!

A rich spray of ocean green apophyllite showing very best sparkling luster and great clarity is set on a snow white matrix of well crystallized stilbite! The quality on this specimen is just outstanding and miraculously all crystals are in perfect condition with razor-sharp edges! Set atop the apophyllite are single isolated stilbite crystals like sugar candy. Being completely free of damage this is an excellent specimen of great color, quality and aesthetics!

Rich open colors, good size and a brilliant design make this tourmaline a real stunner! The crystal is semi-transparent at the bottom, where the color is a rich pink. The further up you look the glassier and more transparent it gets! The color changes about halfway up, first to a layer of white and then to an intensive glassy apple green! A small patch at the tip is pink again which puts just the cherries atop the icing! Most spectacular is the sharp, multifaceted termination that is unusually well developed! The whole specimen is perfectly flawless all around and highly lustrous. A stunning textbook tourmaline crystal!
