JC13485. Dioptase, calcite. Mindouli, Mindouli Dist., Pool Dept., Republic of the Congo. 12 x 7 x 2 cm 247g $350.00 Brilliant green/blue green...typical dioptase color. Pretty.

JC13496. Pyrite, galena. Huanzala mine, Huallanca district, Dos de Mayo province, Huanuco department, Peru. 12 x 8 x 4 cm 1,114g $110.00 Brilliant golden octahedrons of pyrite, with lots of sparkle, sitting on the pyrite is black/dark grey galena, with no luster. I suspect the piece was subjected to an acid dip to get rid of excess calcite, which killed the luster on the galena. Piece really stands out with the very sparkly pyrites. |

JC4489. Almandine. Pee Wee Gulch, Nr. Emerald creek, Latah county, Idaho. 2.5 x 3 cm 23g. $8.00 . Although Garnet Gulch is the most often seen location for these, the mica schists that these occur in are scattered over a fairly large area. Pee Wee gulch is a nearby location. They look very similar to Garnet gulch specimens, but tend to be a bit more rounded and often have a bit of schist clinging to them. RESERVED |
