A weakness, I admit. A cube-octahedral complex galena, defined edges, with polysynthetic growths on (111) faces. In one of them we can observe tiny crystals of pyrite and dolomite.
It comes from one of the classic mines of Catalonia: the Règia mine. In this mining area, occasionally, we could find small specimens but usually less defined. An opportunity to get a specimen from a classic Spanish locality.

A very rich group of prismatic crystals of ferro-actinolite of intense green, near to black color, brilliant, defined, with flattened terminal faces and some with pyrite on them. Aesthetics is excellent and the vertical disposition of the crystals makes this piece a different sample.
They are disposed on a matrix of albite with several rounded and brilliant magnetite crystals. Also with small pyrite with complex and interesting forms. This specimen is an excellent representative for the species and more, if possible, for this Spanish locality.

On a rocky matrix of ophite we can enjoy several groups of fan-shaped epidote crystals. Intense green color and excellent brilliance. Prismatic crystals show flattened terminations. Acompanied by a layer of needle like actinolite crystals, fibrous and with a green bluish color. Specimens combining both species are uncommon because many times collectors clean specimens with water and eliminate this delicate formations. From a Catalan locality, a huge size and different aesthetics specimen.

Main crystal: 13 x 13 mm. (aggr)

In this double specimen we did not want to separate the two parts because symmetry gives them a very nice aesthetic touch. We can observe nodular aggregates of variscite. The green color is very intense. They are embedded in a type of silicified breccia matrix with iron oxides. Both are polished in the front side (which allows us enjoy the structures) and natural cut in the back side. To find samples of this quality you must go back to the past times.

In this double specimen we did not want to separate the two parts because symmetry gives them a very nice aesthetic touch. We can observe nodular aggregates and possible tigmatic folds in the veins of variscite. These meandering folds are caused by the flow of a viscous fluid into a more fluid media. The green color is very intense and it is combined with whitish and yellowish areas. They are embedded in a type of silicified breccia matrix. Polished in the front side (which allows us enjoy the structures) and natural cut in the back side. To find samples of this quality you must go back to the past times.

Curious globular aggregates formed by numerous fluorite octahedral crystals that have grown together, reaching this globular shape. If you look closely under magnification the specimen you can observe different growing phases. So we can see perfect small colorless octahedra, others as groups of a few crystals sharing faces and symmetry, and some with many octahedrons close to this globular shape. Very fluorescent under SW-UV.
This green color is the best ever found for this site, with transparence and brilliance. They are disposed on an matrix of hard porphyry covered by minute quartz crystals, with calcite and goethitized cubic pyrite.

This area is known as Singuerlín (a neighborhood of Santa Coloma de Gramenet city, close to Barcelona) and from 60's collectors has found these globular aggregates with tones between white, yellow or slightly greenish. Then some specimens were analyzed and labeled as gearksutite. More recent analysis did not indicate the presence of this species but only fluorite.
