Micro drusy quartz partially coats a few of the ferberites, and transparent quartz crystals are scattered here and there. A very nice and pretty piece. RESERVED |

JC11722. Calcite. Santa Eulalia Mining District, Aquiles Serdán Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico. 8 x 12 cm 664g. $50.00. 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. |

JC11894. Barite. Kunming, Yunnan, China. 9 x 11 cm 416g $125.00. Although the label says Guizhou, this is completely different from any barites I've seen from that area. Kunming has produced identical pieces, so this is much more likely. This collection I acquired has had a few label issues, and I think this is one. Beautiful, clear, gemmy, chisel shaped barite crystals on a flat plate. Astro Gallery of minerals has one like this for $1,400. RESERVED |

The quartz crystal on the extreme right in this photo has a damaged termination. A couple of light purple fluorite crystals are also present. Another one difficult to photograph, better in person. |

JC12073. Hubnerite, quartz. Pasto Bueno, Pampas District, Pallasca Province, Áncash, Peru. 5 x 11 cm 459g $245.00. 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 crystals on the right center has that same rough look that is also natural. Looks great in hand.RESERVED |

JC13449. Barite, calcite. Mahoning mine, Ozark-Mahoning group, Cave-In-Rock Sub-District, Hardin County, Illinois. 9 x 10 x 2.5 cm 267g $125.00 I purchased this one from Harvey Gordon Minerals, December 1988, who got it from the mineral dealer Harry Sering, Indianapolis. Collected in the 1960's. Nice clear bladed barite crystals that formed on a mass of scalenohedral calcite crystals, which entirely coat the back side. |

JC13363. Fluorapophyllite, stilbite. Ahmadnagar District (Ahmednagar District; Ahmed Nagar District), Maharashtra, India. 7 x 7 x 6 cm 128g $400.00 There has been much written in the mineral media about these famous Disco Ball Apophyllites. Still, today, 30-plus years later, these are unique and unequalled in the mineral world. This specimen features a very beautiful cluster standing up, with no matrix on the back side, this one has scattered blades of sparkling white stilbite. When these first came out, they were called "disco balls" C: 1994. Ex: Jewel Tunnel Imports Ex: Crowley collection JAC1190. One of these, slightly smaller, sold on Arkenstone auction site for over $4,200(March 2025) RESERVED |

From the somewhat recent finds around 2019. The zone has been worked out, and no more are supposedly going to be coming out. RESERVED |

Brilliant, glassy luster, gemmy crystals, difficult to photograph, as one can see into the crystals, so unless the crystal face is reflecting light, it is difficult to tell if it is a complete crystal or not.
