JC13525. Dioptase on calcite. Mbumba, Pimbi hill prospects, Mindouli, Mindouli District, Pool Department, Republic of the Congo. 8 x 3.5 cm 86g. $75.00 As one person described these: "When one thinks of fine dioptase, localities such as Tsumeb and Reneville usually come to mind. This locality however has put out a small number of outstanding dioptase specimens. Typical of the locality are the prismatic elongated terminated crystals", on this specimen measuring to 15mm, and they are highly translucent. The main crystal, in the center has a blemish that appears to be where another small crystal was present, sticking vertically, and broke off. Otherwise no damage except on the periphery where it was removed from its source. RESERVED |

JC13597. Wulfenite. Silver Bill Mine, Costello Mine group, Gleeson, Turquoise Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona. 6 x 4 x 2 cm 19g $185.00 I acquired this one in April 1980 from Ore Inc. (Carl Fair), Spokane, Washington. C: 1979. Acquired April 1980, when I was visiting the Bunker Hill mine in nearby Idaho. These are rarely seen for sale in this quality these days, long since having been collected out at the mine. Ex Crowley collection #JAC32 RESERVED |

JC13567. Copper. Mineral Park mine, Mineral Park, Mineral Park district, Wallapai district, Cerbat mountains, Mohave county, Arizona. 8 x 5 cm 20g $20.00. I was recently going through my storage flats, and ran across these coppers. I acquired them in the mid 1980's when the mine was operating and had forgotten I had them. I don't think these coppers are available these days, at least I didn't see any taking a look at the internet. They formed in thin seams in the host rock, so are rather thin flat sheets with a dark copper color. RESERVED |
|
|
JC13567. Back side. The copper tried to crystallize a bit, so there are these sort of wormlike crystal shapes in one area. |

JC13569. Copper.

I acquired them in the mid 1980's when the mine was operating and had forgotten I had them. I don't think these coppers are available these days, at least I didn't see any taking a look at the internet. They formed in thin seams in the host rock, so are rather thin flat sheets with a dark copper color. The color on this one is darker than the photo would indicate, and it appears to have tried to form crystals, so there is a bit of that worm like look to the copper. RESERVED |

They formed in thin seams in the host rock, so are rather thin flat sheets with a dark copper color. This one has quite a bit of the host rock, with the copper around the edges. |

JC11370. Epidote, quartz. Lola claim (Harvey Gordon's Julie claim), Pamlico district, near Hawthorne, Mineral county, Nevada. 5 x 9.5 cm 216g. $30.00. Most of the specimens collected from this claim are single crystals, very few matrix specimens were ever recovered. This piece, collected by Harvey, was collected some time around the early 2000's. There are several prisms, most not terminated. |

JC9894. Andradite. Bendougou village, Arrondissement Diakon, Commune Diakon, Cercle de Bafoulabe, Kayes region, Mali. 8 x 10 cm 365g. $45.00. Several brilliant luster black andradite crystals. There are some nearly black acicular crystals perched down in the garnet crystals that I am guessing are one of the varieties of hornblende. There are a few greenish, somewhat acicular epidote crystals of small size here and there on the specimen. The black andradite from here is frequently referred to as melanite, however melanite has a titanium component in the formula and I am not sure these qualify as melanite. |
