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.

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.

The worlds best hübnerite doubtlessly comes from Peru where this very specimen is among its finest. A highly 3-dimensional piece of outstanding quality and aesthetics that shows no downsides. Hundreds of hübnerite crystals are clustered together, fanning out and gaining color and clarity towards the top. At backlight illumination intense red light practically explodes from the many hübnerite crystals. In contrast to this overwhelming spectacle a white quartz crystal calmly takes the other side of the distinct "V"-shape. Many smaller high quality quartz crystals are scattered across the hübnerite which even boosts the sparkling effect. This is a truly exceptional piece of stunning beauty!

A superb and exceedingly rare combination of green prase with hematite “roses” from the famous locale on Serifos Island, Greece.Since collecting has been prohibited for quite some time now, pieces from Serifos Island are getting scarce on the market where combinations with hematite, especially in such highly aesthetic form, are nearly impossible to find!
The “iron roses” are lovely developed, lustrous and flawless. The largest with about 2.8 cm in diameter prominently sits at the top center!The specimen is rather 3-dimensional and free of damage all around. This is something special indeed!

While the defined front view is covered in tabular white calcite up to 5.5 cm in diameter, the backside shows a completely different picture of sharp prismatic quartz with iron oxide coating. The whole piece is in good condition with only minor issues here and there. Except for the bottom this piece is complete with no contact or break anywhere. A striking outline and unusual crystal distribution make this an appealing piece worth collecting!
