Shaped like a crown on a head of porous matrix this hyalite specimen (or Opal-AN) is especially distinctive in appearance. Inside the circular boundaries there is a knob of cream-white aragonite, perfectly centred and prominent. The hyalite is perfectly water-clear and in a very good condition. This piece offers perfect aesthetics and brilliant quality as you nicely can see in our video!

The large terminal face, perfectly clear and lustrous, grants an unimpeded look to a beautyful grey, cloudy phantom which makes this piece so special. The crystal is sharp and window-clear at the front, getting less transparent to the backside, where the phantom is lurking. A grey shadow inside a pristine crystal of great condition with only some very minor issues!

Pollucite is a rare silicate in the zeolite group that was first discovered in Tuscany, Italy. The worlds best crystals however were found in the Pakistani Skardu area.
This pollucite is very well defined and a complete, virtually perfect floater! It's a translucent white crystal with attached smaller crystals at the lower front.

Figuratively speaking as well as literally this pseudomorphosis is outstanding. A single pyrrhotite crystal, perched on a beautiful greyish white matrix, was transformed into pyrite. Along the edges pyrite crystals are beaded and frame the main crystal. The whole piece is absolutely flawless and of excellent aesthetics. Only rarely have I seen a piece like this. For a full view of its beauty, please have a look at our video!

Large and impressive, this imposing combination piece is a definite eye-catcher from the recent 2015 find. A few dozen cubical pyrite crystals, all mirroring and sharp, are nested between transparent white quartz crystals. Atop most of the larger quartz there is a second generation of smaller quartz needles. In between all of this you find several sphalerite spheres up to around 1.2 cm in diameter. The largest pyrite at the very center of the piece has a staggering 5.7 cm on edge. Even though I have seen pieces of even better pyrite-quality, the overall aesthetics of this heavy piece is just great. All well balanced and harmonious, free of damage and playful despite its conspicuous size!

This single yellowish aragonite crystal is almost totally gemmy with only some cracks in the middle section. It offeres good luster is well terminated and totally flawless. The edges are a bit rough but this is just a result of slight etching and no damage. To be honest, I have hardly ever seen an aragonite of comparable quality coming from anywhere else in the world and I am happy to be able to offer it for such a reasonable price. An unusually fine piece of exceptional quality!

This magnetite specimen is out of the famous cleft found by Josef Papp in 2009. The rhombic dodecahedral shape is unique for this Alpine cleft and a true sensation. The main crystal of our piece is 1.2 cm in diameter, sharp and of typical metallic luster. Being perched on a white and grey matrix that contains several more of those magnetite crystals, this specimen shows a striking contrast and brilliant quality crystals. This is a flawless and appealing piece all around and a real Alpine rarity.

A beautiful near-perfect doubly terminated quartz crystal of best quality! It shows brilliant luster on all sides, a beautiful structure and some nice inclusions that make this piece even more interesting. While you see a pointed termination at the top the bottom is much more irregular but completely crystallized all the same. This is a highly appealing quartz specimen from the uncommon locale Greina Pass as you can very well see in our video!

The coronal arrangement of the sharp and lustrous siderite crystals makes for a very much enjoyable view in person!The high quality piece is in very good condition with no visible damage anywhere. Some rough edges are due to natural corrosion but not worn or damaged. This is a real classic and nicely aesthetic for sure!

This is an incredibly delicate and lovely piece of hematite and adularia in perfect condition. Hundreds of hematite crystals are stacked upon each other and interwoven with white adularia which adds up to this fantastic composition of pure grace. At some points you can find tiny rutile crystals as is typical for the locale. This is a real eye-catcher that seems to exceed its physical size by far!
