RM3213   Turquoise

Polished specimen where we can perfectly observe the turquoise veins in a brecchia. The colour is very intense. With some pyrite in matrix. The Meiduk porphyry is one of the most important copper mineral deposits of this country. In Iran, turquoise is called "Ferozah", which translated means "victory." It is Iran's national gemstone.


Size: 5 x 4.5 x 1.7 cm.

RM3078   Cerussite reticulated twin
More photos

Superb specimen of cerussite in sextuple reticulated twins with a very good size, a highly appreciated classic of Iranian mineralogy. It is not an easy task to find specimens with such a visible grid and size. They present a very remarkable brightness and definition, translucent and white, slightly pinkish. They are also known as "snowflake" cerussite. The unusual size of this specimen, added to its quality, make it worthy of the best collections.

This is an excellent specimen of cerussite in reticulated sixling-twin tabular crystals, a highly appreciated classic of Iranian mineralogy. It is not easy to find specimens with such a visible grid. They have a very remarkable brilliance and definition, translucent and snowy white much superior to what is usually seen. They are also known as "snowflake" cerussite. Good size and excellent aesthetics.

Very sharp single zunyite crystal with good luster, coloured by red hematite inclusions and with some small brilliant foliaceous hematite partially included in faces. Very clean tetrahedron form, truncated by cubic faces. Tetrahedron edge is 9.7 mm. A good sized and perfect crystallographic specimen of this unusual species, a rare sorosilicate of aluminum and chlorine, with fluorine. Analized by X-ray difraction and X-ray fluorescence.

RM2427   Zunyite and hematite
More photos

Very well defined zunyite crystals, with luster and on matrix. The intense tile colour is due to hematite inclusions. With clean tetrahedron shape, truncated by cube faces. The edge of both tetrahedrons measures 8 mm. They are included in a small matrix of hematite. A crystallographic specimen of this mineral species, a rare aluminum chlorine sorosilicate with fluorine. We performed some X-ray diffraction studies that confirmed the species. We recommend an interesting article about this Iranian deposit in the magazine Rocks and Minerals (Vol. 95, nº 2, 2020).
