This thumbnail specimen displays the most charming aesthetics and brilliant crystal quality! The 1.1 x 0.5 cm emerald is gem green, lustrous and flawless. A remarkable jewel that is associated with a towering quartz structure that's unusually shaped but equally perfect. Absolutely superb little emerald specimen from the Panjshir province!

The sweeping shape of this brucite sculpture reminds me of a sea-horse, one of the most unusual and mysterious creatures that inhabit the earth. The bright lemon-yellow brucite is of best transparent quality with shiny luster and very nice crystallization all around. A single protruding cog-wheel of glassy brucite is a fine feature that adds a distinguishing outline. With best quality and condition this is a marvelous specimen of unique shape!

This thumbnail size combination of emerald on quartz is quite unusual and shows excellent quality! The quartz is completely glassy and sharp with a nice shiny surface structure. The single 1.8 cm emerald shows vibrant color and quality and is in best condition with only some contact at the base but no actual damage! A lovely and striking combination as you can see in our video!

Brilliant water-clear quartz crystals on a white pericline matrix. The quartz is exceptionally sharp and lustrous and with only very minimal chips on two of the crystals. The overall quality here is quite striking and the combination with white feldspar is lovely in person!

This brilliant quartz crystal has rich rutile inclusions that sparkle in direct downlight! The quartz itself is transparent and highly lustrous on all sides. The complex shape of two intergrown crystals deliveres a multitude of bright crystal faces with some microcrystals of ankerite, clinochlore and rutile in between. The crystal is undamaged and shining with natural beauty!

Unlike many of the calcites from this site this impressive crystal shows rather intensive golden yellow color even at normal daylight (as you can see in the two lower pictures). The complex form, perfect clarity and radiant surface structure are utterly amazing and represent the best of the locale!
There is a contact at one side but the crystal itself is in fantastic condition. Some crystallized matrix at the base adds much to the already beautiful appearance of this calcite specimen!

The cactus-quartz from Boekenhoutshoek are classics from over 20 years ago that stand out for their unusual shape. The prismatic amethysts are overgrown by a second generation of short pointed crystals which generates the unique catcus-look. While most specimens from this site are rather pale, it is amazing to see how deep and strong the purple color can become in this specimen! Superb luster and a very attractive aesthetics make this a terrific specimen in best condition!

This smoky quartz from Feldschijen glacier is just mind-blowing in person!
The main crystal is 5 cm long and has the very best vibrant quality you could possibly look for! It is sharp, lustrous, glassy and with a wonderful warm brown color! And it is 100% perfect!
Some of the side-crystals have smaller issues but mostly on the back and hardly discernible.
The focus lies on the main crystal and that one is really fantastic!

It's one of those pieces that increasingly grows on you the more you look at it. Most prominently the vibrant surface structure combined with that stupendous luster is totally stunning! The crystal has a distinctive tessin habit, it is transparent, virtually perfect and shows a crystallized underside. I can see only one tiny chip and even here I needed the loupe to be certain. A stunning crystal of superb quality and shape!

I love the distinctive “V”shape aesthetics and the brilliant quality of this fine quartz with chlorite inclusions! Both crystals are perfectly flawless right up to the sharp pointed terminations. The crystals bodies is glassy and lustrous and with very nice chlorite inclusions which looks like seaweed in an aquarium. The crystals are set on a rock matrix with white adularia. When you turn it around you also see smaller quartz crystals, one of which is crossing one of the main crystals. All those side-crystals are undamaged as well.
