Fragment of transparent sphalerite- cleophane, convenient for faceting
Fragment of sphalerite- cleophane crystal with size 18 x 17 x 15 mm – weight 15,05 grams. The specimen is completely transparent, colors are yellow to yellow-green to light-green. The internal part looks clean of inclusions. Pictures are taken in transmitted (bac) cold and warm LED light. On every picture is indicated the kind of light used for illumination.
Almandin garnet
One very nice cabinet size specimen of well-shaped garnet crystals in shists mother rocks.
Sphalerite, galena, quartz
One amazing very aesthetic cabinet size specimen of galena and sphalerite, overgrowth by thin, clear quartz crystals with extremely lustrous crystal faces, building a very well space developed net.
Barite, quartz, transparent sphalerite-cleophane
One excellent specimen of quartz developed on transparent sphalerite-cleophane and overgrowth by thin transparent plate barite.
Feather like split calcite crystals
A unique, very aesthetic cabinet size specimen, of split calcite crystals on the base of rhombohedral calcite crystals. The permanent split of the crystals make forms like feathers which are translucent to transparent neer to the end of the aggregate.
Galena, quartz, limonite and unidentified mineral
One excellent and very interesting cabinet size specimen of galena on mother rock, overgrown by clear quartz crystals, and later covered by limonite. Later, on galena and limonite crystalize unidentified secondary copper mineral (probably result of weathering of chalcopyrite) with beautiful turquoise color. The specimen was found in the fault zone in the abandoned mine in conditions of intensive weathering with water, in the last 30 years.
Quartz, limonite, galena
One very rare and very aesthetic specimen of quartz crystals, developed on galena and coated by limonite. Galena crystals are overgouth by small sperolites with turqoise color (mineral is not indenfied but most likely is seconadry coper mineral)
Dendrites of pyrolusite, linarite, chrisocola, cuprite
A beautiful cabinet size specimen of very aesthetic pyrolusite dendrites on linarite, chrysocolla and cuprite
Transparent sphalerite – cleophane, quartz
One excellent cabinet size specimen of transparent intensive green sphalerite crystals with the isometric habit, developed on white quartz base.
