Several brilliant luster black andradite crystals. There are some
nearly black acicular crystals perched down in the garnet crystals that I am
guessing are one of the varieties of hornblende. There are a few
greenish, somewhat acicular epidote crystals of small size here and there on
the specimen. The black andradite from here is frequently
referred to as melanite, however melanite has a titanium component in the
formula and I am not sure these qualify as melanite.

andradite from here is frequently referred to as melanite, however melanite
has a titanium component in the formula and I am not sure these qualify as
melanite. The dealer brought these over from Mali in barrels with no
padding, and the specimens were still covered with their original dirt.

Brilliant luster root beer brown crystals with a hint of reddish brown.
This specimen was broken out of a quartz block, and a few of the crystals
left their corners in the quartz, which is quite common for these specimens.
This is the case for the largest central crystal in the right center, where
the left corner is missing a bit. Generally good condition for
one of these, and probably dates back 20 years or more. Nothing has
come from the mine recently, as it has been very heavily collected.

JC7715. Barite, quartz.
Murray mine, Independence Mountains district, Elko county, Nevada.
6.5 x 8 cm 273g. $50.00. One of the rare specimens
from this now closed for several years Murray mine. Collected by Casey
Jones when the mine was active. A single good pocket of barite with
drusy quartz (called the Sugar Bowl pocket) was found. This is one of
the specimens from that find. There is bruising on some of the
crystals as can be seen in the photos. A relatively rare specimen.
No more have come out from the closed mine. A complete floater, with
nice crystals on the back also.

the front of the matrix as can be seen in the photo. Very nice
crystals. They are slightly darker in real life, and highly
translucent to transparent in places. The larger crystal has been
repaired along a cleavage line near the matrix, which cannot be seen except
with the closest inspection. I lowered the price from $300 when the
crystal fell off and I repaired it.

4 x 5.5 cm 113g. $50.00. Nicely situated spray of
barite on shiny, silvery-blue galena crystals. I chose this one for
its showy aspect with the barites nicely situated on top of the galena.

damage or discoloration. A fine group like this is quite unusual.
A tiny bit of limonite matrix is attached to the bottom. There
is one crystal, about dead center that has the very tip cleaved off.
It is invisible except on close inspection, and in no way detracts from the
specimen. This is a good one.

visited in 1983, and found at the end of one adit, an old water course that
was filled with cave type calcite, including many
helictites, as well as crystalline
calcite. The calcite shows two generations, the first as a yellowish
core, visible on some pieces, followed by brilliant, clear, gemmy calcite in
various forms and crystals. Some of the pieces show what appears to be
a "faden" thread in which the calcite crystals formed in both directions.
A couple of pieces are showing the soda straw structure of stalactites,
with a hole down the middle that you can blow through.
A mass of calcite crystals that was very lightly attached to the ceiling
of the water course. The point of attachment is quite small on the

Jack (Ruby) mine, Imlay district, Pershing county, Nevada.
5 x 6.5 cm 91g. $18.00 An old, obscure mercury
mine, I visited in 1983, and found at the end of one adit, an old water
course that was filled with cave type calcite, including many
helictites, as well as crystalline
calcite. The calcite shows two generations, the first as a yellowish
core, visible on some pieces, followed by brilliant, clear, gemmy calcite in
various forms and crystals.
Piece is covered with mostly squatty "sharks tooth" like crystals
(modified scalenohedrons), as well as more blocky modified rhombohedral
crystals.

San Cristobal hill, Canete, Lima department, Peru. A 4 cm
tall crystal. $18.00. There seems to be a little bit
of confusion as to the exact locality for these. A different dealer
had these as from the recent find of epidote from Canete...said they were
very close to the epidote find. Nice size clinozoisite for Peru.
Crystals are a beige with hints of green and gray. A recent
find, new to me, however they were present at the Munich show this past fall
of 2017. ON SALE, TAKE 40%
