Quartz (Amethyst) with Sphalerite and Pyrite

TD56H7: The specimen is formed of groups of crystals of very pale Amethyst Quartz crystals growing from common points. The crystals have two main features. The three faces of the dominant rhombohedron are much larger than those of the other rhombohedron, and the crystals are thicker in the center of the prism so there is a curvature and tapering of the crystal. It is an excellent specimen for the locality.

TV76H5: Crystals have very defined faces and edges and form very distinct interpenetrating twins. The sample is very esthetic due, especially, to the contrast between Chalcopyrite and the Quartz crystals with it.

MR90F3: Specimens of Nagyágite from the type locality Nagyág (now called Sacaramb) are quite rare. The laminar crystals in this one are of considerable size and well defined for the species. In the matrix there is also some Sphalerite (analyzed) and Rhodochrosite.
It comes with an old label from the dealer C.F. Pech (Mineralien-Comtoir), Berlin.

Sylvanite on Rhodochrosite

EJ62E9: A classic, but with features that make if different from other specimens from this locality. The prismatic crystals of Sylvanite, which are almost needles, are very brilliant and quite long. They are very well-defined and contrast well with the background of pale Rhodochrosite. We will give the purchaser a copy of the analysis of the Sylvanite, which we did because of its unusual appearance.

Calcite with Pyrite and Sphalerite

TA63H5: The crystallization is very curious because the first impression is that crystals are cubes. A more attentive inspection indicates that they are rhombohedra but in the last phase of crystallization scalenohedron faces appeared to give the crystals their final form.

Calcite with Boulangerite inclusions

Herja mine is world famous for its great Stibnite and it sometimes also produces very unusual black Calcite. The color is due to the Boulangerite inclusions.

Calcite with Boulangerite inclusions

ME9F2: Growth of very flattened rhombohedra of Calcite on a single axis, so one can clearly see two zones, one clear with a hint of oxides and one darker due to inclusions of Boulangerite. The trigonal symmetry of the crystals is clear from the growth lines that create a very curious form.

Turt

Turt, Satu Mare, Maramures. This is not really a new locality, as the mine has been active for many years. But what is new is that they recently began to find high quality specimens in this mine. That said, the finds are fairly infrequent and depend on the area of the mine being worked.

Pyrite with Siderite

MX63G8: The group is formed by cubes not so simple as it seems on a simple view. They form compact and numerous groups giving as a result slight curvatures on the faces and on the edges. The Pyrite is on a bed of little crystals of Siderite and a matrix of Sphalerite.

Siderite with Quartz and Pyrite

ND16G4: Rhombohedrons are very defined and its rough surface is a product of re-crystallization of the same Siderite. Crystals are aerial on a matrix of Quartz crystals with little crystallizations of Pyrite.

Boldut Chalcopyrite pocket

A superb pocket of Chalcopyrite with Calcite and Quartz was found in early 1999 and has been a hit with collectors.

E37JE8: The Chalcopyrite crystals in this sample are short. Faces and edges without curvature dominate the form, which is reinforced by the contrast with the matrix of groups of Quartz crystals and laminar Calcite crystals.

Chalcopyrite with Calcite and Quartz

E16CF6: The complex growth forms of the Chalcopyrite are on a matrix of compact Quartz crystals. During a later phase of crystallization, with a surprising esthetic effect, some curious lenticular crystals of Calcite grew on the matrix.
