This is completely marvellous in person! It is a floater specimen with absolutely no damage at all!
Both front and backside show lovely structured hematite petals to the hundreds which creates a vivid sparkling effect. Most of the metallic faces show some chloritization but not as much as to prevent the luster from shining! Some white adularia near the bottom adds a nice contrast without taking away from the classy appearance of this piece.
I love it and you will love it too!

It's a completely flawless single quartz that is crystallized even at the bottom! The whole specimen has a very glassy look to it with brilliant wet-look luster over a very nicely structured surface. The interior is limpid, especially in the middle section. The termination is kind of corroded, possibly contacted, but all natural and not damaged. A wonderful crystal with a unique character!

A rare closed smoky quartz gwindel on matrix, accompanied by brilliant side-crystals and some contrasting white adularia. The gwindel is absolutely brilliant, flawless and prominently situated in the middle of the smoky quartz cluster. I totally love this fine aesthetics, making for such a lovely Alpine specimen. The side-crystals show some edgewear but nothing of real impact. An overall fantastic piece, lovely in person and extremely rare!

A natural matrix specimen with sharp-edged, sparkling titanite crystals of amber-brown color which is absolutely unusual and rare for the Austrian Alps. The crumbly chlorite matrix is partly dissolved but is otherwise complete all around. The titanite crystals are up to around 1.5 cm long and in great condition. Fantastic luster prominently underlines the splendour of the translucent titanite crystals. A rare and outstanding piece of appealing elegance!

Dark, almost impenetrable color, mirrorinig luster and a sharp pointed termination make this a spectacular smoky quartz of misterious, mesmerizing appearance. The bottom is contacted, not broken, the rest is complete and flawless. Yes, it is only a single crystal, but the quality and the visual impact are just remarkable in person. Unfortunately there is no way of capturing this sheer elegance on a picture but trust me, this smoky quartz is something extraordinary!

This excellent smoky quartz specimen shines with wonderful luster and completely glassy and undamaged crystals! The largest crystal has around 4 cm in length and stands out from the crowd of smaller but equally brilliant crystals. Quality is absolutely breathtaking here! The smokies are set on a piece of naturally broken rock matrix and show no downsides whatsoever!

With massive size and bright colors this is a majestic doubly terminated tourmaline specimen of highest grade! The translucent crystal shows satiated pink color with a sharp zone of ocean green near the termination which looks absolutely gorgeous! The upper termination is flat and somewhat frosted. The bottom termination is highly lustrous and also flat but with a bevel at one edge and with a small intergrown quartz crystal. The overall condition is just exceptional with only very limited edge-wear.
Absolutely fantastic, elegant and vibrant in person!

This epidote specimen is from a recent find in the western Pakistani Mountains that revealed a completely unique and highly aesthetic "bow tie" shape. Sprays of dark green, lustous epidote form this sharp clusters in a just lovely way.This is basically a singly "bow tie" cluster, distinctively developed and with bright luster! It is free of any damage with only one small contact at the lower backside. A piece of distinct shape and characteristics!

This single crystal is a complete, all terminated floater of transparent quartz. Its unique architecture produces unusual faces, odd angles and sharp edges all adding up to this distinctive jewel! A close inspection even shows very fine and beautiful surface patterns. Having only very small edge-wear this is an outstanding specimen of high quality and very much unique design!

One sharply defined topaz crystal of exceptional design and quality comfortably sits on a sweeping matrix of milky quartz, surrounded by white feldspar. The crystal is completely glassy without even the slightest cracks or inclusions! The elegant champagne color is easily visible and contrasts to the white quartz. Most striking however is the polyhedral architecture that results in a large number of shiny faces in all different angles. Absolute perfection set on an appropriate scenery!
