If you go to Switzerland, you will see it is a big challange to find any good alpine fluroites there. This is a very lovely group in combination with a very nice quarz. The luster, color and gemminess of the crystals are very good.

A sparkling marvel of exquisite aesthetics, this piece is the perfect choice for any collector of fine minerals! Several layers of hematite are imbedded in adularia. Upon the mirror-like faces of the hematite blades you see rutile of fantastic deep red color that brightly shine even in low light. The whole composition, the combination of these three minerals is simply superb!

This specimen of fascinating blue-red ruby shows perfect textbook aesthetics. The special coloring is very much typical for the locale of Winza and uniquely beautiful in between of sapphire and ruby. The marvelous main crystal of 1.1 cm in diameter sits atop a crown of accompanying side crystals, grown on a utterly beautiful massive black matrix. This rare beauty is sparkling all around and of highest quality. An absolutely outstanding ruby specimen as I have hardly seen alike!

WOW! Seldomly have I seen a piece of such extraordinarily combined minerals. Like king and queen: A perfect, gemmy and lustrous aquamarine sits aside a octahedral fluorite of nice orange-pink coloring on a muscovite matrix. A fabulous composition that offers well balanced aesthetics and high quality minerals alike. While the fluorite has some slight edgewear, the aqua is just perfect. Out of a find from approximately 15 years ago, this is a piece of timeless elegance!
