Pink fluorite from the Zinggenstock counts among the Alps most coveted species. Here we have an extremely well crystallized and 100% flawless cluster of intensive color on a grey granite matrix. The diameter of that cluster is 3.9 cm at its longest extension. The largest individual crystal has 2.3 cm on edge. If you look closely on the picture or even better in the video, you can see some purple tips which makes this fluorite even more visually stunning.

What a colorful fluorite!! This is an exceptional group of intergrown crystals with green core and purple edges. The whole specimen is very nice translucent and in very good conditions over all! Just some small contacts at the edges are visible, but also not from the front side.

This is a magnificent specimen of gold with extraordinary crystals and great shape. Gold from Brazil is very rare, and especially with this aesthetics and size very hard to get. It has a very special hoppered crystallization and is extremely showy from each side.

This is a beautiful combination of calcite and quartz, where the calcite is very well grown on the upper side of the matrix, what gives the piece a very special aesthetics. The shape of the calcite is very interesting, with many smaller crystals stacked together. It is perfect all around!

This is a well balanced matrix piece of beautiful calcites, from Bad Bleiberg. The colorless crystals are very good visible because of the much darker matrix. Over all this is the best calcite which I have ever got from this classic locale. It is free of any damage and very 3-dimensional in person, what is also very good visible on the attached video.

This specimen shows an exceptional aestetics! One big crystal is shooting out from a gourp of smaller crystals, all well balanced and perfectly situated on matrix. The crystals are highly lustrous, glassy and with a good smoky color! The main crystal has one contact and some minor damage at the back, but this is luckily not visible from the front. This is very good visible on the video! Over all this is just small in context to the beauty of this piece and absolutly acceptable, even for the advanced collector. Very impressive in person!

This is truly remarkable! Not just is this one of the thickest “faden†I’ve ever seen (about 0.5 cm in diameter) but also is it around 20 degree bent throughout the specimen!The quartz itself perfect in any respect: No damage, amazing clarity and luster, superb aesthetics. The piece is even a floater! Wonderful details you would not want to miss are some small epidote crystals, one of which is even inside the quartz (!), to give the piece some appealing specks of color and a flavor of the Swiss Alps.

Distinctly 3-dimensional, flawless and incredibly detailed, this stibnite is just mind-blowing in all its beautyful perfection. In a way it looks like an explosion - frozen in time. Thousands of brilliantly lustrous and completely undamaged crystals form a specimen of overwhelming aesthetics. To see the sparkling fireworks, I strongly suggest you watch the video. Still, this piece looks even better in person. Lovely, marvelous and flawless on all sides.
