RM2524   Sursassite, tinzenite and ganophyllite

Radial aggregates of reddish-brown sursassite, bright and on the quartz matrix. It is accompanied by orange-yellow aggregates of tinzenite crystals, together with fibrous masses of light yellow ganophyllite.

Size: 5 x 3 x 1 cm.
Found in ca. 1979.
Col. Joan Astor (Barcelona).

RM1239   Tinzenite with quartz and kutnohorite

Groups of orange rosettes of this rare species. Tinzenite is a boro/aluminosilicate of calcium and manganese from the axinite group [see here], and probably the best specimens are from this Italian mine. Also accompanied by quartz crystals and white to pink kutnohorite aggregates.

Size: 8.5 x 6.5 x 6.8 cm.
Found in 2011.

RM1202   Tinzenite with quartz

Groups of orange rosettes of this rare species. Tinzenite is a boro/aluminosilicate of calcium and manganese from the axinite group [see here], and probably the best specimens are from this Italian mine. Also accompanied by quartz crystals.

Size: 8.3 x 7.0 x 4.8 cm.

RM1096   Tinzenite with lindbergite and quartz

Groups of orange rosettes of this rare species. Tinzenite is a boro/aluminosilicate of calcium and manganese from the axinite group [see here], and probably the best specimens are from this Italian mine. Also accompanied by white epimorphic crystals (after not determined species) of a rare Mn oxalate: lindbergite.

Size: 6.3 x 5.2 x 2.4 cm.
Found in 2011.

RM1024   Sursassite with quartz

A very uncommon species. It is an aluminum manganese silicate found in few localities worldwide. Specimens from Molinello mine are the best known. In this sample we observe a vein of sursassite with a coppery brown color, formed by many needle like crystals. In the quartz vug we can see perfectly formed crystals. The analysis will be sent to the buyer. A very good opportunity.

Size: 7.4 x 3.7 x 3.2 cm.
Analyzed specimen with report

RM937   Tiragalloite

Tiragalloita is a rare manganese arsenosilicate found in very few localities. This specimen is from the type locality. In this sample we find a rich mineralized area showing some crystal faces. A systematic rarity. It has been analyzed and we will send a copy to the buyer.

Size: 6.0 x 4.0 x 3.4 cm.
