TI-5

When I first saw this specimen I thought it was a typical stacked Calcite group.

I was suprised to find out it was actually Titanite. This habit and color is much rarer than the usual.

SOLD

VES-5

Very aesthetic specimen of "cats eye" Vesuvianite. You just cannot do these justice with a photo. When held up to a light source,

the crystals are actually a transparent orange brown with pearly white ends and exhibit a "shimmer" effect when moved.

Much, much better in person.

MAR-5

Calcite with irridescent Marcasite in and on Calcite.

One of the best pieces from this find we have seen as far as transparency and luster.

Unlike most of the Calcites from this find you can see the transparency of the crystals.

Much better than pictures.
