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. |

A one time find, and small occurrence of these beige/honey colored crystals. Originally these were called Zoisite from the Rosario Mabel claims, Pampa Blanca. Now, according to Mindat, these are clinozoisites from Quiruvilca. |

JC8521. Boulangerite, marcasite?. Mina Noche Buena, Zacatecas, Mexico. 2.5 x 3 cm 5g. $20.00. A rare association specimen from this locality, if it is marcasite. Mindat does not list marcasite from here, although the boulangerite is fairly typical. It is possible that it is pyrite, and not marcasite. Bright luster on both minerals. |

JC12695. Vivianite, ludlamite. Cabeça do Cachorro claim, São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil. 13 x 11 x 6.5 cm 361g $350.00 Bladed vivianite crystals, mostly standing up from the matrix, a single small ludlamite is sitting on the matrix. I have looked at hundreds of vivianites from this find, and have not seen any with upstanding crystals like in this specimen. Not all are terminated, as these are found in hollow nodules, and the tips were undoubtedly against the wall of the nodule. These have gone up quite a bit in price recently. This one is well priced, as a quick search of the internet will show. |

JC5065. Cerussite. Daoping Lead-Zinc mine, Guangxi prov., China. 6 x 8 cm 389g. $38.00. A tough one to photograph, as the crystals blend together. Has reticulated crystals, bladed crystals, and "snowflake" crystals all together. One of the brighter, prettier cerussites I've seen from here. Two views are shown to try to get an idea of the myriad crystals composing this specimen. Reminds me of the old 9 level cerussites from the Bunker Hill mine that came out in the 1980's. These were found earlier on at the Daoping mine. |

JC8630. Muscovite pseudo microcline, schorl. Erongo mountain, Erongo region, Namibia. 5 x 7 cm 52g. $35.00. Sort of a combination of pseudo and epimorph after microcline. Some of these are hollow, while the muscovite shows the obvious microcline form. Scattered schorl crystals decorate the muscovite. |

JC8675. Meta-zeunerite and ?. Majuba Hill mine, Antelope district, Pershing county, Nevada. 6.5 x 7.5 cm 218g. $35.00. Platy green crystals scattered through a dark matrix of mixed minerals, none identified on the label. Appears to be some type of dark sulfide as the matrix, with the scattered meta-zeunerite platy crystals scattered around. One of the real rarities from Majuba Hill and nicely priced. |

JC11014. Vesuvianite. Nr. Clio, Plumas county, California. 6 x 8 cm 175g. $25.00 5 cm crystal. Diopside that has rotted/leached away, has left small pits on the crystal. The large, main crystal is about 2/3 complete, the base of it never formed. The left side near the top is not completely formed. It is not broken, just never formed...may have been due to another crystal growing against it. Back side is also pitted, presumably from where diopside grew and has been leached or rotted away. Collected in 2020. |
|
|
JC11014. Tilted slightly to show the glassy luster where no diopside pits are present. |

Unusual specimen from this locality. Sort of an elongated cube (rectangle) where the fluorite was removed. The shell is drusy quartz. I took several different angles trying to show how it looks. |

JC9125. Amethyst, calcite. Kakamunurle Mine, Karur District, Tamil Nadu, India. 7.5 x 8 cm 144g $85.00 These came out several years ago, and made quite a hit. This one is slightly different in that the crystals are sort of short and squat, and try for double terminations even though attached to matrix. There is a double terminated dogtooth calcite hidden in with the amethyst. This view is with the specimen lying flat. It is basically a flat lying piece with a somewhat mounded appearance as seen here. |

JC9269. Quartz. Marshal canyon, East side Adam Peak, Osgood mountains, Potosi district, Humboldt county, Nevada. 3.5 x 6 x 7.5 cm tall 143g. $13.00 From a find in early 2000. An alpine type vein in granite. Minor muscovite in association. A single pocket discovery. Most specimens have minor damage here and there due to earthquake activity over the eons. These are the last of decent cabinet specimens from this find. The largest crystal has a ding on the termination, typical of most specimens from here. One of the better pieces from this find. |

JC11439. Quartz (prase) with
actinolite inclusions, andradite. Serifos Island, Milos, South
Aegean, Greece. 4 x 10 cm 107g $75.00. A
deep green quartz crystal completely filled with actinolite inclusions
giving the intense color. It lies on a bed of tiny andradite
crystals. There is a spot near the base of the crystal where it looks
like another crystal has broken off. Well priced...these tend to be
rather expensive as a quick search of the internet shows. |

JC12694. Ludlamite. Cabeça do Cachorro claim, São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil. 11.4 x 8.8 x 2.2 cm 375g $350.00 First saw these 3 years ago at Tucson. Since then there has been a lot of material available, and has so often happened with mineral finds, they will quickly disappear from the market place. Beautiful green glassy lustrous translucent crystals of ludlamite measuring to 1.0 cm in size mostly covering the top of this matrix. Fine example for the species. |

JC7740. Calcite, quartz. Freiberg, Mittelsachsen, Saxony, Germany. 2.5 x 5.5 cm 41g 4cm crystal $30.00 Very pale pinkish tint to the crystal. There is an incomplete quartz crystal sticking out of the bottom of the calcite crystal, and another more complete crystal on the side, so it looks like the calcite grew off the bottom quartz crystal, and also on the side quartz crystal. |
