No. LPCalGemTenn2 - $ 250.00

CALCITE on Barite

Locality: Elmwood, Smith County, Tennessee

Specimen Size: 4.5 x 3 x 2.5 cm (miniature)


A superb, lustrous, water-clear, golden color, twinned Calcite on small white Barite crystals. There is a very tiny ding on the back side of the top of the termination of the Calcite which is not visible from the display side, but is shown in the last photo above.

No. 776 - $ 500.00

PYRRHOTITE

Locality: Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico

Specimen Size: 10 x 7.5 x 6 cm (cabinet)


A great large, lustrous hexagonal crystal group that can be displayed from many angles as you can see. Not many of these old specimens from Santa Eulalia are around anymore. Interestingly enough, Leigh Price purchased this piece from Richard Kosnar around 1983.

No. LP FluoMex 2 - $ 650.00

FLUORITE on Galena

Locality: Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico

Specimen Size: 10.5 x 8 x 7 cm (cabinet)


A very aesthetic specimen of the typical cubic Fluorite from Naica. This piece is really unique because of the highly modified Fluorite crystal on the underside of the specimen next to what appears to be a cast after Anhydrite.

No. LP CerTsutw 5 - $ 950.00

CERUSSITE

Locality: Tsumeb, Namibia

Specimen Size: 9.5 x 8 x 5 cm (cabinet)


This is a cool piece with fine, lustrous, gem "smoky"-colored, twinned crystals on matrix. I think the pictures really speak for themselves here.

No. LPQtzCalum 1 - $ 350.00

QUARTZ with Epidote

Locality: Calumet mine, near Salida, Chaffee County, Colorado

Specimen Size: 18.8 x 15.1 x 12.5 cm (large cabinet)


These crystals of "champagne" colored Smoky Quartz sitting on an Epidote matrix make this the largest I've seen of its kind from Calumet. Some Quartz crystals have a bit of surface damage, but a piece this size for a Colorado locality collector is something rarely seen. This locality has always been a favorite of mine in Colorado.

No. LPWulfSF 1 - $ 950.00

WULFENITE

Locality: San Francisco mine, Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico

Specimen Size: 17.6 x 12.4 x 6.3 cm (large cabinet)


A great large plate of classic, sharp, lustrous, gem/gemmy bright orange-yellow color tabular Wulfenite crystals from his well known locality. As you can see by the photos, there is a great assortment of attractive and damage free crystals on this fine, large display piece. Very reasonably priced for the size and quality.
