The size and quality of this topaz is really remarkable. I have rarely seen crystals of that size in such a good quality.

When it comes to Alpine emerald, the location of Habachtal is on everyone’s lips. Still, there have not been much high-quality specimens found in the last years. This specimen is one of the older pieces, offering great color and clarity on two emerald crystals, the bigger of which is 1.1 cm long. The typical silvery sparkling matrix perfects the picture of this very nice specimen.

This beautiful quartz holds a terrific phantom inside its glassy body. The fantastic thing about it is that you can view the chlorite phantom literally from all sides as the quartz has no crack and no cloudy regions. Accompanied by a smaller quartz at the side, this crystal impresses with many details and a nice combination of colors at surface and innards. The crystal has one chip at the tip, but is cheaper therefore and still a real jewel!

Like a sculpture of solid light, this specimen stands out as a magnificent and elegant piece. It is out of a smaller find from two years ago. Only few specimens arrive at the market these last years, so we are happy to present such a brilliant piece. The whole sculpture is in perfect condition and remarkably beautiful. Outstanding for its lovely aesthetics and the superb quality alike.Please note: Due to its fragility hand delivery is a must at this specimen. Please contact us, so we can arrange a meeting!

This combination of fluorite, pyrite, quartz and some calcite is uniquely graceful! The perfect contrast underlines the bright purple color of this lustrous and clear fluorite. Supported by sparkling pyrite cubes and white quartz and calcite the appearance of this specimen is just dramatic. This piece is even a floater and thus beautifully crystallized on all sides. This piece was in the collection of Paul Geffner and we are happy to offer a piece of such a fantastic composition!

What astoundingly reminds of a gnarly white tree on a hill is in fact a gorgeous piece of aragonite that shows no damage all around. A freely protruding branch with a totally unique character. Having been found at the classic locale of Erzberg, Austria, this specimen is more than just an eye-catcher of exceptional aesthetics, but a worthy piece for any Alpine collection!

This piece is absolutely spectacular! One single tourmaline, 6.6 cm long and 0.8 cm thick, protrudes from a massive and beautiful mica-matrix. The tourmaline holds breathtaking deep green color, fantastic luster and is gemmy through and through. Speaking about damage is beside the point at a piece like this, which is not even repaired - an incredible fact, considering the length of the freely towering crystal!

Schwatzite, a mercurian variety of Tetrahedrite was originally discovered at this very locale, a large old mining district in Tyrol. This specimen is a typical representative for the kind and quality of this rare mineral. Several crystals are perched on a platy piece of matrix. Some accessory malachite adds color to this otherwise grey and metallic piece. The larges schwatzite crystal is around 1 cm in diameter and of typical tetrahedral habit. All crystals are in perfect shape and flawless.

Typical for Serifos Island, this specimen of Prase offers a very nice green color and a great composition. A group of three main crystals protrudes from a rich base of side-crystals. The whole piece is rather 3-dimensional and lively with translucent elongated crystals with pointed terminations that are all free of any damage. As the search for minerals has meanwhile been prohibited at Serifos Island there are no new specimens comming for quite some time now. Perfect in quality and aesthetics, this specimen has no flaws whatsoever and is a great example for this rare green variety of quartz. Very nice in person!

I do love the well balanced composition of this classic calcite and sphalerite specimen! One single sharp calcite is set on a nicely crystallized matrix of massive sphalerite. The calcite is transparent and near-colorless with an light orange tinge. It is a bit rought towards the termination but which is contact induced. Apart from that it's sharp and well developed. Very sharp and aesthetic specimen in great condition!

This is a lovely and highly aesthetic piece of barite on matrix. Most crystals are in perfect condition, clear and nicely arranged. One barite plate at the left front has been obstructed in growth by another plate comming from the back. This second one is broken, which but is the only damage on this piece and not visible from the front. The tabular, yellow barite crystals are clear as window panes and pretty all around. Pinkish matrix provides a nice contrast for this charming piece.
