JC13481. Amethyst (grape). Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. 12 x 7 x 6 cm 403g $175.00 Front side. View, with black background. Color is more accurate here. There were quite a bit of these at Tucson, but 99% did not have any luster to the little botryoids. This one has a nice sparkle to them. As the camera "sees" things somewhat differently than the human eye, I photographed some of these specimens with both black back grounds, and lighter colored backgrounds. |
|
|
JC13481. Front side. Color is a bit lighter, more like the photo with the black background. Front side is nice and three dimensional with little groups poking out from the main matrix. |
|
|
JC13481. Close up. The crystals are a bit more purple in reality, and less of the pink undertones as seen here. The white spots are sparkles. |

JC11722. Calcite. Santa Eulalia Mining District, Aquiles Serdán Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico. 8 x 12 cm 664g. $95.00. Dominating this piece is a slightly hematite colored dog tooth crystal on the right side, it really sets off the piece, there is just enough of the hematite color to give the crystal a pinkish look. Smaller crystals are obvious on the rest of the piece. The dog tooth crystal is modified on the back. |

JC11741. Hematite. Payún Matrú volcano, Altiplano de Payún Matrú, Agua Escondida District, Malargüe Department, Mendoza Province, Argentina. 3.5 x 9 cm 103g. $300.00. The photos do not do this one credit. It is actually quite sparkly, with a near black color. The area is closed to all collecting, and no more of these are coming out. This is a good one. It actually looks a little longer in person. |

The Sepon mine is no longer producing good specimens like these. I purchased this one in 2015. A very pretty specimens with well defined blades of azurite with brilliant luster and great color. I had this on the web before, and have re-photographed it and lowered the price. |
