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.

Especially the mainy pyrite on this specimen shows just excellent crystallisation and brilliant golden luster, with bevelled edges. The surface is nicely striated and shows no damage. A second pyrite has an imprint at its side but is also undamaged though the luster is not as good. Both crystals are embedded in a landscape of white quartz. Have a 360° look in our video!

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!

What this single tourmaline crystal has to offer is uttermost brilliance, sharpness and very nice colors! The tourmaline is completely glassy from bottom to top where it ends in a sharply cut polyhedral termination. Absolutely lovely in person!

This is a very 3-dimensionally aesthetic specimen of brilliant crystals on a silvery grey matrix. Very attractive in person!

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!

Octahedral fluorites of different sizes are scattered over a surface of acicular quartz. The sometimes single isolated, sometimes interlocked crystals have wonderful green color with purple edges which adds a beautiful visual effect! The backside is a matrix of massive green fluorite where the white quartz is attached to. The whole specimen is in very good condition with mostly flawless, translucent crystals. Very aesthetic in person!

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!
