Thin needle like Carbonate-cyanotrichite crystals disposed as radial aggregates on a matrix partially covered by cubic colorless Fluorite crystals. These aggregates show a intense blue sky color, deep in the core. Really good specimen.
Group of small, shiny, gray metallic blades of flattened Chalcostibite crystals, some of them very aerial disposed. Accompanied by brilliant Tetrahedrite and Quartz. Chalcostibite was uncommon at Cavnic mine till 90's finding.
Group of Sigloite crystals pseudomorph after Paravauxite, partially covering the rocky matrix. Paravauxite and sigloite differ chemically by the presence of a single water molecule. Sigloite is white to yellowish. The Siglo XX Mine is the type locality for Sigloite species.
A very rich marcasite specimen covered by a layer of small but very sharp and brilliant crystals, with metallic reflections between gold and greenish tones, with iridescence.
These marcasite crystals show tabular forms and the Sperkise twin (from the German Speerkies –Speer: spear and Kies: rock-. It has been used as a synonym for marcasite specimens). This twin is characterized by being formed by 4 or 5 crystals cyclically disposed around a central axis parallel to c.
