Group on Limonite matrix of small very bright crystals, most of them doubly terminated, forming dipyramids with very well-defined faces and edges. The specimen is very esthetic because of its attractive crests and vugs. A wide surface of the sample is covered by a layer of acute scalenohedron of white Calcite.

5MC51J7: Diopside, Vesuvianite

The habit of these crystals of Diopside is uncommon: although apparently tabular, the fine vertical striations and the presence of the pinacoid show that they are, in fact, very flat prisms. Their color and luster are excellent, and they are implanted on a group of prismatic crystals of greenish yellow Vesuvianite with intense violet terminations. The Jeffrey mine has been closed since 2001, so it is very difficult to find this type of specimen from this locality.

TC88AF7: Djurleite-Chalcocite intergrowth

A novelty at Tucson 2017. Parallel growth of very flattened and bright crystals. These samples were mined carefully over seven months in the Aït Ahmane area (it seems not in the same shafts that produced the famous Gersdorffites) and, due the sharpness of the crystals and their size, this find will contend for being the world's best for the species. We’ll send to the buyer a copy of the analysis that indicates an intimate intergrowth of Djurleite and Chalcocite.
