Very complex specimen formed by various species such as stannite, kesterite, arsenopyrite, muscovite... A very interesting combo from this Chinese mine.
A lustrous slightly translucent brown scheelite crystal, this with pale green cubic fluorite crystals at its base. Neat comination piece. From a distinctive and limited find in the late 1990's. With Joan Viñals label. Active under SW-UV light.
Very esthetic specimen of calcite formed by various flattened interpenetrated rhombohedral crystals, almost lenticular, with very well defined and striated faces. Between translucent to transparent, shiny and on a rocky matrix. It exhibits intense pink to red fluorescence under UV-LW light. Good size and quality.
Twinned cinnabar, with well defined faces and edges, red color slightly silvery, well formed and almost 2 cm in size. It is disposed in a very aesthetic way on dolomite crystals. At the time, this locality produced world-class specimens such as the one we offer. Simply spectacular.
Very aesthetic group formed by sharp cubic crystals of fluorite, some of them interpenetrated, very transparent and with an excellent brilliance. They show a very uniform apple green color. They are disposed in an matrix of quartz crystals
Group of interpenetrated cubic fluorite crystals, brilliant and very transparent, with a delicate green color. Well defined faces and beveled edges by the dodecahedron. A brilliant specimen.
Druse of fluorite crystals with a marked color zoning. An intense violet crystal core and colorless in the edges, with some geometrical zoning on some edges. An interesting fluorite specimen. Accompanied by lenticular crystals of siderite. Very aesthetic.
Isolated fluorite crystal showing cube and octahedron faces with polysynthetic growths. Nice zoning violet to deep violet color. Good brilliance and transparence. On a matrix with small arsenopyrite crystals.
Group of very sharp calcite crystals, two of them predominant, those show very developed prism faces mixed with the positive rhombohedron faces. Regarding the upper terminal faces we can observe the negative rhombohedron with striations. This type of crystallization is very unusual, I have not seen this combination, with this quality, never before. It presents some transparence and a more remarkable brilliance. It is accompanied by other calcite crystals of the same habitus, with a developed prism. A seldom seen piece for this mine. A sample for the best calcite collector display.
A perfectly balanced specimen. On the one hand we have a large scalenohedral crystal (5.2 x 2.3 cm.) showing perfectly defined the 180° twin between two scalenohedrons. This crystal is very defined and "doubly terminated" shows good transparency and brilliance. On the other hand we have a group of calcite crystals, also scalenohedral, interpenetrating each other, brilliant and translucent, with a slight yellowish tone. They are disposed on a matrix of tiny quartz crystals on which observe small aggregates of cubic violet fluorite, also interpenetrated. A specimen to be displayed.
A very rich group of sharp psedo-octahedrical scheelite crystals, with an intense brown color, excellent luster and some transparence. They are disposed on a quartz matrix partially covered by small clinochlore green crystals. A very nice specimen for display.
