AZURITE with Malachite "snail" - $345

This piece is totally unique !! It first of all has a great isolated, sharp, aesthetic, lustrous Azurite "rosette" perched on a matrix of Limonite with minor Malachite, but as you flip the specimen over a velvety Malachite "snail" can be found slithering across the Limonite !! Some of you might remember a dealer who had a picture of a Rhodochrosite "snail" in their advertisement. Well this is my version of the snail, just without his shell.

Locality: Copper Queen mine, Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona

Specimen Size: 6 x 4.5 x 2 cm. ("Snail" Size: 2 cm. across)

No. Spess/Alb 1179 LT
SPESSARTINE on Albite - $2,750 (SOLD)

This is a true classic from the United States. It is a group of excellent, lustrous, sharp, gemmy, intense orange color Spessartine crystals perched atop Albite (variety "cleavelandite") blades with minor Muscovite. For most collectors, to find a good Little Three Spessartine is almost unheard of. There are very few fine specimens like this one out there for sale.

Collected by Louis B. Spaulding Jr. in 1979

ELBAITE with Lepidolite - $150 (SOLD)

This is a really unique specimen. The piece is doubly-terminated, but one end has many micro terminations, so it's not only a doubly-terminated specimen, but a multi-terminated specimen.

The crystal itself also has a very nice blend of pink, green, and a light orange as well .
