Jan Buma, apart from being a great person, is a Dutch mineral collector who is very well known at most of the European shows since for many years he has attended them with great dedication. At these shows he bought a large number of specimens, initially all types of worldwide minerals, and then only in the three key areas of his collection: Fluorite, Rumania, Indian Zeolites and related species.

I have kept up a long friendship with Jan, which started many years ago at a Munich show. Back then I sold him one of the first specimens from the Emilio Mine, which caught his attention as it was a new locality at that time. Since then we have always kept in touch and done regular deals. So, when he sold his worldwide collection of minerals I had the opportunity and good luck of buying it. Some time later Jan decided to concentrate on an even more select range of minerals: just one, in fact - Fluorite. So he then sold his collection of Indian Zeolites and Rumanian specimens. Once again I was lucky enough to have the chance of buying his collection of Indian minerals.

For each specimen Jan added a sheet with lots of information on it that we can send to the buyer. The specimens are very appealing and well priced, which is really pleasing since Jan had a good eye when buying minerals and was buying a lot of material at a time when the prices were far less expensive than they are today.

THE FLUORITE COLLECTION

In 2004 Jan Buma decided to concentrate on only high quality Fluorite specimens, so he decided to sell off most of his Fluorites, keeping just a select few. Jan decided to separate the Fluorites he had for sale into two groups: ones that were easier to sell, as the specimens were relatively cheap and they were of interest because of the localities they came from; the second were the better specimens, in which the range of locations and the good quality were both noteworthy. At the end of 2010, Jan Buma, after having built yet another excellent collection of Fluorite, decided to sell his entire collection, including his best pieces.

Both the quality of the specimens, and the range of localities makes this a really interesting collection. Each specimen is very well documented, as it comes with a record on which Jan noted details of the mineral, the locality, when he bought it, who he bought if from, and how much he paid. We believe that the material from this collection should be of interest to both Fluorite collectors and to those who collect a wide range of high quality minerals, especially considering the excellent quality and reasonable prices of Jan's collection.

Given the large number of specimens in the Buma collections I could not manage them all at the same time, so I put them into stock with the aim of selling them slowly through the Internet and shows that we attend.

We hope that you enjoy these specimens from the Jan Buma Collection as much as we have enjoyed them.

Intense fluorescence long & short UV

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 041201

Fluorite with Quartz

FT16F7: Crystals of fluorite surround it right to the top. Maybe they were trying to purify themselves as they have a phantom within them.

Quartz after Octahedral Fluorite

FQ46G6: In a first view, as a Quartz, it looks rare. And it is rare, because it has the form of octahedral Fluorite, previously existing and substituted by the Quartz. More curious is to observe that the surface is cryptocrystalline Quartz (Chalcedony) but the core of the octahedron, where Fluorite primarily was, is hollow and consists of little geodes covered by Quartz crystals.

Fluorescent long & short UV

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 980705

Stilbite-Ca

JP57G6: Typical crystallization of Stilbite rising up on a little matrix and with little Stilbite crystals at the base. A graceful piece, of clear color and silky luster.
Jalgaon, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 5.6 × 4.3 × 3.5 cm = 2.2” × 1.7” × 1.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 021103

Stilbite-Ca with Calcite and Heulandite

JC14E7: Good composition: first there is pink Heulandite, then Stilbite with large, white crystals, and then finally in the center a large, white Calcite.
As is so often the case with Jan, esthetic and unusual.
Pandulena Hill, Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±2003)

Specimen size: 9 × 6 × 5 cm = 3.5” × 2.4” × 2.0”

Main crystal size: 3.6 × 3.2 cm = 1.4” × 1.3”

Former Jan Buma collection Jan Buma. Number 030819

Calcite low fluorescence short & long UV

Stilbite-Ca with Heulandite

JB12N1: Bow-tie growths, some of them doubly terminated that contrast on a bed of small orange crystals of Heulandite and on a matrix of much altered basaltic rock.
Dharampur, Gujarat  India (±2000)

Specimen size: 9.3 × 7.6 × 3.9 cm = 3.7” × 3.0” × 1.5”

Minor fluorescence long & short UV

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 201012

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite and Quartz

JR11N1: Clear crystals of Apophyllite-(KF) formed by the prism and a very acute dipyramid, with very sharp crystals of Stilbite-Ca and on a columnar growth of Quartz.
Shakur Quarry, Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±2003)

Specimen size: 13 × 3.1 × 3 cm = 5.1” × 1.2” × 1.2”

Main crystal size: 2.3 × 0.9 cm = 0.9” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 030825

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite

Front
Rear

JT14F5: I find it hard to imagine how something like this formed. The center, possibly of a Quartz stalactite, has been completely covered by Apophyllite-(KF) crystals of various sizes. A small brown Stilbite adds to the specimen.
Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 14.5 × 6 × 3.5 cm = 5.7” × 2.4” × 1.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 020313

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite

JD86G6: Undoubtedly the most prominent aspect of the piece is its color. An intense and unusual orange color, affecting both the Apophyllite-(KF) and the Stilbite and contrasting with the matrix, dark in some places, white or pink in other. A very attractive ensemble.
Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 16 × 14.5 × 6 cm = 6.3” × 5.7” × 2.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 020829

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite and Heulandite

Front
Rear

JA66F2: Most of the crystals of Apophyllite-(KF) are doubly terminated, formed from a prism and very sharp pyramids. The brilliance and transparency are very intense and the crystals of pink Stilbite seem to soften the esthetics, giving balance to the specimen.
Jalgaon, Maharashtra  India (±1996)

Specimen size: 13 × 8 × 4.5 cm = 5.1” × 3.1” × 1.8”

Main crystal size: 2.9 × 1 cm = 1.1” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 960907

Apophyllite-(KF) with Julgoldite-Fe inclusions

JE89E5: Yes, this is an exceptional specimen! The inclusions of Julgoldite-Fe that dye the crystals of Apophyllite-(KF) towards the bottom of the specimen, by the contrast they create, make the transparent ones in the upper half very appealing. While the photo cannot show it, the play of color and reflections is spectacular.
Jalgaon, Maharashtra  India (±1988)

Specimen size: 9.8 × 7 × 4.7 cm = 3.9” × 2.8” × 1.9”

Former Jan Buma Collection. Number 991034

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite

JB62J7: Doubly terminated crystals, green and transparent, that combine the faces of a very short prism with the dipyramid and the pinacoid, and, so, they take cubic shape. The matrix is also rich in groups of bow-tie shaped Stilbite.
Lonavala, Maharashtra  India (±2001)

Specimen size: 8.1 × 5.6 × 3.7 cm = 3.2” × 2.2” × 1.5”

Main crystal size: 1.2 × 0.9 cm = 0.5” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 010318

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite-Ca and Okenite

JY11N1: Pseudocubic green crystals formed by the prism, a dipyramid and the pinacoid. They are on matrix, with Stilbite-Ca, and partially coated by fibrous crystals of Okenite.
Lonavala, Maharashtra  India (±2001)

Specimen size: 11 × 9 × 3.8 cm = 4.3” × 3.5” × 1.5”

Main crystal size: 1.8 × 1.5 cm = 0.7” × 0.6”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 010317
Okenite fluorescent long & short UV

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite and Heulandite

JZ9N1: Pseudocubic green bright crystals of Apophyllite-(CaK) formed by the prism, a dipyramid and the pinacoid. They are on matrix, with bow-tie growths of Stilbite-Ca and very bright crystals of Heulandite.
Pashan Hills, Poona, Maharashtra  India (±2001)

Specimen size: 9.4 × 7.1 × 3.4 cm = 3.7” × 2.8” × 1.3”

Main crystal size: 2.1 × 1.9 cm = 0.8” × 0.7”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 010304

Apophyllite-(KF) with Scolecite

JC87E8: An explosion of form and brilliance. For all my experience in color analysis, I cannot quite understand how such gentle colors can result in the superb contrast this specimen has. All the minerals, Apophyllite-(KF), Scolecite and Stilbite, seem to combine with great elegance.
The excellent state of the specimen, which looks very fragile and delicate, show how well it has been cared for by those who collected it and have looked after it since.
Rahuri, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 14.5 × 9.5 × 6 cm = 5.7” × 3.7” × 2.4”

Main crystal size: 2 × 0.9 cm = 0.8” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 021034

Apophyllite-(KF) with Scolecite

JB68E7: This one deserves a good description. The crystals of Apophyllite-(KF) are very long (prismatic) and seem to fly on the matrix. They are a deep green color. Between them there is something that looks like a coral Aragonite – in reality it is Scolecite. So between these the over effect is pleasing and it would look great in a cabinet display.
Rahuri, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 11 × 9 × 5.2 cm = 4.3” × 3.5” × 2.0”

Main crystal size: 5.5 × 1.6 cm = 2.2” × 0.6”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 021033

Apophyllite-(KF) with Stilbite

JV90E5: Elegance and beauty combine in this sample that Jan Buma got in Jalgaon. Luminous, clean, with crystals that appear to be very well defined, given the contrast between the green and the white.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published in the magazine ‘Mineral Up’ on page 65 in number 2011/1
Jalgaon, Maharashtra  India (±2000)

Specimen size: 7.2 × 5 × 3.7 cm = 2.8” × 2.0” × 1.5”

Main crystal size: 1.3 × 0.5 cm = 0.5” × 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 200410

Stilbite low fluorescence short UV

Cavansite with Stilbite

JB87E8: Unlike other Cavansites this one has thick tabular crystals that are well separated from each other and are very luminous. They are perfect and well positioned on the Stilbite matrix. Much better than many of the other Cavansites we have seen.
Wagholi Quarry, Poona, Maharashtra  India (±2001)

Specimen size: 8 × 6.8 × 4 cm = 3.1” × 2.7” × 1.6”

Main crystal size: 1.2 × 0.5 cm = 0.5” × 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 010308

Apophyllite-(KF) with Prehnite and Okenite

JA8J7: Green globular growths of Prehnite and, on them, there are clear prismatic crystals of Apophyllite-(KF), most of them doubly terminated.
Malad, Bombay, Maharashtra  India (±2001)

Specimen size: 6.8 × 4.6 × 3.1 cm = 2.7” × 1.8” × 1.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 010325

Calcite on Prehnite

JA76E7: There is good contrast between the yellow Calcite and the green spherical Prehnite. The crystals of calcite are well positioned on the Prehnite matrix and the overall effect is delicate and soothing. A very fine specimen.
Malad quarry, Bombay, Maharashtra  India (±2003)

Specimen size: 11.5 × 7 × 6 cm = 4.5” × 2.8” × 2.4”

Main crystal size: 2 × 1.4 cm = 0.8” × 0.6”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 030612

Calcite intense fluorescence short and long UV

Calcite with Okenite inclusions

JA96F0: This crystal, a simple scalenohedron, is transparent so one can see something unusual within it: a ‘fuzzball’ of Okenite inclusions! The faces of the crystal are partially covered by green Apophyllite-(KF) and white Stilbite. On the rear the areas of exfoliation do not affect the esthetics of the specimen.
Poona, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 11.5 × 8.5 × 9.5 cm = 4.5” × 3.3” × 3.7”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 020851

Calcite with Okenite, Stilbite and Apophyllite-(KF)

Front

Rear

JE64G6: Floater, transparent crystal of Calcite with an original covering of clear Stilbite and green Apophyllite-(KF). On the back of the Calcite there is a little matrix with Okenite inclusions in Calcite.
Poona, Maharashtra  India (±2002)

Specimen size: 8.2 × 6.5 × 4.8 cm = 3.2” × 2.6” × 1.9”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 020847

Scolecite with Apophyllite-(KF)

JJ88F1: We have often seen in other specimens how Jan's good taste and sensitivity led him to select simple and small examples of the best of each mineral. This is one of the best examples of his style. The radial bundles of Scolecite compete with each other to show off their beauty. The central crystal of Apophyllite-(KF), suspended on a bundle of Scolecite as if by magic, is the final touch to this work of art.
Poona, Maharashtra  India (±2000)

Specimen size: 20 × 11 × 11 cm = 7.9” × 4.3” × 4.3”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 200406

Gyrolite

JV58F1: Nodules of snow white Gyrolite surrounding the trunk of Prehnite, which is clear. So white on white, but for all that it has intensity and life.
Nasik, Maharashtra  India (±1991)

Specimen size: 6.3 × 3.5 × 3 cm = 2.5” × 1.4” × 1.2”

Gyrolite fluorescent long & short UV

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 910903

Julgoldite-(Fe) with Apophyllite-(KF)

JV58F2: The rare mineral Julgodite-(Fe) covers the basalt matrix. The small crystals, which are quite dark, are noticeable as they contrast well with the crystals of Apophyllite-(KF), which are doubly-terminated, brilliant, water clear and with sharp pyramids.
Jalgaon, Maharashtra  India (±2000)

Specimen size: 20 × 13 × 5 cm = 7.9” × 5.1” × 2.0”

Main crystal size: 1.4 × 0.5 cm = 0.6” × 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 201016

WORLDWIDE COLLECTION

Elbaite with Lepidolite

JB6E8: A well formed sample that is three centimeters tall. The Elbaite crystal is well defined and the crystals of Lepidolite give it an elegant touch.
Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill, Mesa Grande, San Diego County, California  USA (±1979)

Specimen size: 3.2 × 1.9 × 1.7 cm = 1.3” × 0.7” × 0.7”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 79077

Calcite doubly terminated

JH14E5: This one appeals to me because it is unusual. The Calcite crystals, which are very well defined, doubly terminated, and clear, appear to be randomly spread across the dark matrix.
Minerva I Mine, Cave in Rock, Illinois  USA (±1980)

Specimen size: 8.8 × 6 × 6.5 cm = 3.5” × 2.4” × 2.6”

Main crystal size: 2.9 × 0.9 cm = 1.1” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 79098

Fluorescent long UV

Limonite after Pyrite

Front
Rear

JD36E3: All the pseudo minerals I have seen seem rather mat to me, and when one is dealing with limonite they tend to have an earthy look. So this one stands out for the surprising brilliance and its achitecture, which is very fine.
Pelican Point, Utah city, Utah  USA (±1996)

Specimen size: 4.4 × 3.2 × 3.6 cm = 1.7” × 1.3” × 1.4”

Main crystal size: 2.1 × 2 cm = 0.8” × 0.8”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 960905

Pyromorphite

JX63F1: A small, complete specimen that has all the features typical of its bigger brothers. So it is a good example for those people who love miniatures, above all else for its intense color.
Bunker Hill Mine, Kellogg, Shoshone County, Idaho  USA (±1995)

Specimen size: 1.7 × 1.3 × 1.5 cm = 0.7” × 0.5” × 0.6”

Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.5 cm = 0.2” × 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 950302

Silver with Calcite

JA26E8: For its size the sample is really precious. Like a fossilized crystal of fern, the Silver surrounds the Calcite matrix, both of which sit on a fragment of rock that acts as its matrix.
Batopilas, Chihuahua  Mexico (±1993)

Specimen size: 3.6 × 2.5 × 2 cm = 1.4” × 1.0” × 0.8”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 930502

Quartz (Amethyst)

JA13E5: This elegant specimen appealed to me because of its nice color hints. With thin matrix on which the, sometimes doubly terminated, crystals of amethyst grow.
Piedra Parada, Las Vigas, Veracruz  Mexico (±1979)

Specimen size: 2.9 × 2.7 × 1.4 cm = 1.1” × 1.1” × 0.6”

Main crystal size: 1.8 × 1.1 cm = 0.7” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 79042

Azurite with Malachite

ER96E5: Superb group of deep blue Azurite with hints of green where it has been converted into Malachite. The crystal is complete at the base (it is recrystallized) and the upper terminations are perfect, with no dings.
Touissit, Oujda  Morocco (±1982)

Specimen size: 3.7 × 1.8 × 1.1 cm = 1.5” × 0.7” × 0.4”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 82012

Erythrite

EH96E3: Small but great. Really good color and presentation of a group of crystals that have no damage to their tips. So almost a miracle!
Bou Azzer area, Tazenakht, Ouarzazate  Morocco (±1991)

Specimen size: 2.2 × 1.2 × 1.1 cm = 0.9” × 0.5” × 0.4”

Main crystal size: 0.6 cm = 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 920104

Sulfur with Calcite

JK13E8: Balanced group of crystals of Sulfur on Calcite matrix. As is so often the case with this collection it was carefully selected to provide great pleasure.
Machów Mine, Tarnobrzeg, Podkarpackie  Poland (±1991)

Specimen size: 5.6 × 3.5 × 2.8 cm = 2.2” × 1.4” × 1.1”

Main crystal size: 2.3 × 1.8 cm = 0.9” × 0.7”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 911202

Barite

ET97E7: This has a very lively and extraordinary color. It is also special as these Barites rarely appear on the market, and when they do come from old collections (which is the case with this one – it has both Jan Buma and Geologisch Centrum de Ootmarsum, Holland labels.) Very spectacular, given its intense color.
Pöhla Mine, Crottendorf, Saxony  Germany

Specimen size: 6 × 3 × 4 cm = 2.4” × 1.2” × 1.6”

Main crystal size: 4.8 × 2.9 cm = 1.9” × 1.1”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 921216

Rose Quartz

JD46E5: Both sides are complete, and also it is soft, delicate, sweet, …. How can one describe this one? You need to hold it!
Alto da Pitorra, Laranjeiras, Galiléia, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais  Brazil (±1993)

Specimen size: 2.9 × 3.1 × 1.3 cm = 1.1” × 1.2” × 0.5”

Main crystal size: 0.8 × 0.4 cm = 0.3” × 0.2”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 930111

Octahedral Pyrite

JL12E3: Great brilliance and lots of color. I like the shape and I also like the fact that, while it is metallic, it does not look heavy.
Quiruvilca, Distrito Quiruvilca, Departamento La Libertad  Peru (±1983)

Specimen size: 6.5 × 5.9 × 3.9 cm = 2.6” × 2.3” × 1.5”

Main crystal size: 3.5 × 3.2 cm = 1.4” × 1.3”

Former Jan Buma collection. Number 830905

Smoky Quartz doubly terminated

JA11E5: Intense in color, this Quartz crystal stands out from the rest of the specimen as it is doubly terminated.
Moralia, Cavendish, Victoria  Australia (±1998)

Specimen size: 3.8 × 3.2 × 3.2 cm = 1.5” × 1.3” × 1.3”
