The Tsumeb Mine is famous for producing the best mimetite crystals worldwide. Highlight of the Tsumeb history is the legendary "gem pocket" from '71. Unprecedentedly sharp edged crystals of perfect transparency, attractive yellow color and a typical shape of elongated hexagonal prixms with basal pinacoid terminations have come from this small pocket that produced only around 30 specimens. This is one of those fantastic and highly coveted "gem pocket" mimetites. A considerable number of richly sparkling crystals are attractively arranged on matrix to form this wonderful and outstanding specimen. The whole piece is in remarkable condition with all main crystals flawless and only some minor peripheral issues. A real marvel and an incredibly rare chance!

This is one of the very finest tourmaline we have ever seen coming from Burma! The color you see in the picture is real and stands in stark contrast to the white quartz-matrix. A pristine play of gemmy pink tourmaline and lustrous clear quartz that blooms like a flower, sweet as nectar and with a mysterious inner glow. Somewhere on this piece there are small gapfills but which are so small and insignificant that even I forgot where to search for them. A staggering piece of outstanding quality and beauty!

In short, this is as good as it gets! The quality of this dramatic single isolated aquamarine on matrix is breathtaking. It is absolutely water-clear, has pristine luster and a unusually fine tapered, polyhedral termination. At the right angle you can see on vertical internal crack, reaching down only about half a centimeter from the top which is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. The crystal is perched on a vivid white feldspar matrix with black contrasting schorl. This is an older specimen, found in the 90s, that never lost anything of its matchless class. A real jewel!

A slender arborescent wire silver specimen of absolutely breathtaking aesthetics! The main "stem" is 0.7 cm thick and curls up to a several ramifications and a spatial tangle of fine silver wires at the top. This is a 360° beauty of pure excellence as I have hardly seen alike. While the major part is oxidised, as is usual on native silver, you can see some coppery sheen especially at the main wire. No damage or any kind of abrasions are visible on this fine specimen. A striking piece of unique elegance!

Like an express train this crystal sweeps into your awareness, shining with bright pink color and unblemished lustrous surface. The Urucum mine is for sure the worlds most important location for high class kunzite. Regarding this very specimen, one exactly knows why. The surface is of marvelous structure all around and still permits a clear view inside the perfectly limpid crystal. One termination peaks in two prominent wing-like extensions, very fragile but undamaged. Please note that due to these fragile "wings" we have to deliver this piece directly to make sure nothing breaks. Please contact us, so we can arrange a meeting! A pristine cabinet-sized specimen like this is very much worth the effort!
