JC11877.  Hematite (Pseudo after magnetite).  Payún Matrú volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matrú, Agua Escondida District, Malargüe Department, Mendoza Province, Argentina.   3.5 x 4 cm 18g.   $90.00    The pseudos out of this national park area in Argentina were (and are) quite the sensation for their sharpness and aesthetics. This piece is likely from the second wave, which has produced pseudos with a much higher metallic luster and sheen than the original specimens from the 1990s.  There is a secondary partial layer of micro crystals with brilliant luster, giving these even more sparkle.

JC12073.  Hubnerite, quartz.   Pasto Bueno, Pampas District, Pallasca Province, Áncash, Peru.   5 x 11 cm 459g  $500.00.   A nice classic specimen.  This one was tough to photograph and make it as appealing as it is in real life.  I took a lot of shots trying to show it as best I could.    The terminations are all complete.  Some of them have little rough areas, but they appear natural.   One of the larger crystsals on the right center as that same rough look that is also natural.   Looks great in hand.
