#03 / STIBNITE - $180
Wuning Mine, Wuning Co., Jiangxi Prov., China
8.3 x 4.5 x 5.5 cm.
An outstanding three dimensional group of brilliant silver-black Stibnite crystals, the largest being a superbly terminated, robust, 8 cm long beauty.
A very aesthetic piece with small white calcite rhombs adding a nice contrast.
#05 / CELESTITE - $30
Scofield Quarry, Maybee, Michigan
6 x 4 x 2.2 cm.
A pair of great transparent blue Celestite crystals ( and a few smaller ones ) on just the right amount of matrix. The crystal morphology is wonderful.
My label indicates I acquired it in 1982, so its an older find.

#17 / CALCITE - $60
Daye Mine, Hubei Prov., China
6 x 4 x 4.5 cm.
Wonderful lustrous Calcite with reddish Hematite color inside the crystal. Great crystal faces and sets so nicely on the matrix.
Great addition for the Calcite suite if you haven't added one like this yet.
#01 / AXINITE-(Fe) - $80
Puiva, Tyumen Oblast', Western Siberia, Russia
3.5 x 2.8 x 1.5 cm.
A single, complete all around, double terminated FerroAxinite crystal growing on a partial crystal. The color, form and luster is very fine. The
crystal is in great condition with only a few trivial edge marks. These have pretty much disappeared from the market as they are probably the finest
examples of the species extant.
#06 / BARITE - $48
Cavnik, Romania
7 x 5 x 3 cm.
An excellent barite cluster of blue-grey bladed crystals from this classic locale.
#01 / FERBERITE and QUARTZ - $40
Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang Co., Hunan Prov., China
4 x 3 x 2.5 cm.
The Ferberite and the Quartz are both perfectly terminated and damage free. A very nice combo in a miniature. Very aesthetic.
