EA13M1

This esthetic cuprian Adamite specimen is from an important vug that was mined last March at the venerable Ojuela Mine, in Durango, a mine that is being worked again. The specimen consists of well defined crystals of very brilliant cuprian Adamite, with an interesting green color with bluish tones. Of special appeal is the pseudo-octahedral Adamite crystal shape due to well developed terminal faces to the detriment of the prism. Also, with some olive green Austinite crystals in spherical growths, on a rust-red Limonite matrix.
We will provide a copy of the cuprian Adamite analysis to the buyer.

ND7M1

If the Tharsis Goethite samples are well known for their intense colors and defined stalactitic growths, La Lapilla Goethite specimens stand out because of their delicate crossed stalactitic growths and very thin filament-like structures.

NB57L8

Nice specimen of cubic Fluorite crystals, very transparent and brilliant, with geometric color zoning. The cube faces shows a later growth phase with curious echelons on the edges.

NG58L8

Group of crystals of Chalcopyrite of tetrahedral habit, one of them clearly dominant, largely replaced by crystalline Malachite, contrasting with the matrix of Dolomite rhombohedra.

NX16L8

From the mining works close to the Aizpea Mines we offer this specimen formed by groups of complex Sphalerite crystals with curved faces and edges. More than vivid red to orange color. With some small tabular Barite crystals. Really unusual.

NG7L8

Very aerial Hematite crystals disposed on a Calcite matrix (acid-treated). One can clearly see the laminar intersected Hematite growth that gives a rosette aspect to the group, partially covered by a second phase of small Hematite crystals. A curiosity from a not well-known locality.

EV16H2

Doubly terminated floater. The color is deeper at the terminations, whose luster is also more intense than in the other faces. The crystal grew on other small crystals of Quartz (Amethyst)

RA63J2

Tabular crystals of hexagonal but partially rounded shape. On a matrix of Albite crystals and with small crystals of Siderite.

TJ62J4

Parallel growth of short prismatic crystals of excellent luster and transparency.

MH26K5

Group of prismatic crystals, a lot of them doubly terminated, of excellent color and with Rockbridgeite crystallizations.

TD6J9

Small spheres and microcrystals of deep red variscite, which is a rarity, intergrown with concretionary formations of violet blue Strengite on matrix.

ME14J9

A crystal of considerable size, very transparent, with excellent luster and a very fine vertical striation.
