No. LP FluoMex 2
FLUORITE on Galena - $650

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.

Locality: Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico

Specimen Size: 10.5 x 8 x 7 cm.

No. LPQtzCalum 1
QUARTZ with Epidote - $350

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.

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

Specimen Size: 18.8 x 15.1 x 12.5 cm.

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.

Locality: San Francisco mine, Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico
