Fragment of transparent sphalerite-cleophane crystal. Color is spread in the stone, from red to orange and to yellow-green. Stone is convenient for faceting. Pictures are taken in transmitted (Backlight).

Cluster of transparent quartz – rock crystal
A very aesthetic cabinet size specimen presented by cluster of elongated completely transparent quartz crystals on mother rock with small pyrite crystals in the base of the quartz
Quartz after quartz and calcite pseudomorph with calcite
A very showing piece of long-axes quartz crystal overgrought by isometric calcite rhombohedron crystal and lately covered by small grains quartz and followed by flat lustrous yellow calcite rhombohedron crystals
A cluster of long axes amethyst crystals with phantom spreading of color
An excellent specimen presenting a cluster of long axis amethyst crystals with the phantom spreading of color and small sphalerite crystals on one side of the crystals
Space developed quartz-rock crystal with chalcopyrite,sphalerite and galena
An extraordinary cabinet size specimen of space developed quartz with galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite, secondary oxidized to bornite and covellite
Calcite after calcite pseudomorph coated by limonite on quartz
One very old cabinet size specimen of quartz, covered with steep scalenohedron calcite crystals, build in the alternation of several generations of calcite and quartz very thin ( less than a millimeter) layers. Later on, these scalenohedron crystals were coated by limonite. At the end of crystallization process appear white, flat rhombohedron calcite crystals.
Needle quartz pyrite, sphalerite and galena
A very nice and aesthetic specimen of Longaxes needle quartz overgrought sphalerite, galena, and sphalerite. There are light oxidation signs on pyrite as result of coating by bornite.
Curved rhodochrosite with quartz and pyrite
One of the last cabinet size specimens from our closed mine Eniovche, famous for its curved rhodochrosite crystals. Rhodochrosite forms well terminated curved crystals covered with small clear quartz-rock crystals and with some pyrite crystals
Amethyst crystalson the base of sphalerite and galena
A very aesthetic cluster of clean long axes amethyst crystals with the zonal spreading of color developed on the base of galena and sphalerite.
Lustrous galena crystals with sphalerite and quartz
A nice specimen of galena, covered with small galena and sphalerite crystals, followed by larger galena crystals with very well terminated shiny galena crystals twined in Spinel law twins in some places
