Among the Spanish collectors, the Zamoran opals are well known. This specimen were collected from an area from which to obtain pieces with this quality and size is very difficult, I can certify it... This specimen presents opal nodules, with an intense orange color, some brilliance and surrounded by a solid matrix. I say this because, despite the visible fractures, stability is assured. A sample of quality for this locality.

Very aesthetic stalactic-botryoidal formation of goethite, with some iridescence. This specimen does not show those colors seen in the samples of this locality since it has not been manually husked. It is presented in the original shape with which it appears in the deposit, nowadays very difficult to find.

Size: 8.3 x 4.5 x 3.0 cm.

Good size specimen with many years, from the mining area of Berbes. It is a "flag", near to a floater, totally covered with small quartz crystals. On them, on both sides of the piece, several cubic crystals of fluorite with polysynthetic growths, interpenetrated between them, but also isolated. Of intense violet color, between transparent and translucent. It is accompanied by aggregates of barite. A piece of quality from tha past times.

A classic of Spanish mineralogy. Pantoja aragonites are known for their arrangement in the cavities of this gray marl, forming groups of prismatic crystals in divergent aggregates and with intense fluorescence under UV-LW light. In this specimen crystals have a very good size and are presented in several cavities in the matrix.

Group of isolated and very sharp metatorbernite crystals, with an intense green grass color, showing the combination of the first and the second order dipyramids, truncated by pinacoidal faces. Its intense color gives a nice contrast with the white quartz matrix. We could say that this locality is included in the most worldwide important torbernite localities due to the crystal quality, size and multiple habits. Rare on the market.

Near to a floater, this specimen shows tabular crystals of baryte in parallel growth, in book-shape, very brilliant, transparent and richly faceted. Between colorless to slightly gray due to inclusions. It comes from a locality that is rarely represented in collections (also in Spanish ones).

Main crystal: 37 x 32 mm.

Huge size almandine crystal, rich in faces, with forms of the dodecahedron, and rounded edges. A classic of Spanish mineralogy, nowadays very difficult to see.

Size: 6.0 x 5.5 x 4.4 cm.

Group of fluorite crystals with an intense green color, with transparence, brilliance and sharp edges and faces. Transparence allows us to see an opalescent crystal core on which the crystal has grown with greater transparency. They are disposed isolated on the matrix which gives a superior quality to this specimen. It is accompanied by small rhombohedral calcite crystals and some crystals of pyrite totally pseudomorphed by goethite. Very fluorescent. On a matrix with quartz crystals. Samples with this fine quality are very difficult to find, considering that the quarry is closed to the collectors and the works have been interrupted. From a classic locality.

Excellent groups formed by lamellar crystals of claraite, of an intense turquoise blue, on a matrix of dolomite and sulphides. It is accompanied by spheric aggregates of theisite crystals. Analysis results will be sent to the buyer.

Claraite is a rare copper and zinc carbonate which may contain sulfur and/or arsenic. Theisite is a rare copper and zinc arsenate-antimonate that has been described for the first time in this mine in the Catalan Pyrenees. These mineral species are the second citation in Spain.
We have published a book called "Rocabruna i el seu entorn. La mina de les Ferreres" where you could enjoy all species collected and determined until the date of publication (2014).
