EM17F0: Kësterite and Mushistonite

Two rare species in one specimen. The Mushistonite coats a group of Kësterite crystals. The floater crystals of Kësterite are disphenoides, a crystallographic form that is not normally apparent, but which is very well defined in this case.

DD26E2: Kësterite and Mushistonite with Beryl

I have never seen Kësterite on Beryl before. In this specimen one has a mixture of rarity (until recently crystallized Kësterite was un-heard of) with beauty. The thin coating of Mushistonite that covers the Kësterite adds some green to the theme, and the Mica on the base completes the whole. A beautiful rarity!
As is usual we will give the purchaser a copy of the analysis of the specimen.

TFF27AN4: Kësterite with Mushistonite, Muscovite, Calcite and Fluorapatite

Extensive group of Kësterite crystals with very sharp crystal forms and a yellowish brown color due to coatings of Mushistonite. The group is on matrix with lamellar Muscovite crystals, and small very lustrous water-clear crystals of Fluorapatite in the front, and larger crystals of pink Fluorapatite in the back, together with white rhombohedral Calcite crystals. An especially elegant specimen in which the perfection and the absence of damage to the crystals and their harmonious arrangement on the matrix make it aesthetically pleasing, something that does not normally occur in this species.
Mount Xuebaoding, Pingwu, Mianyang Prefecture, Sichuan Province China
Specimen size: 7.8 × 6.9 × 4.1 cm = 3.07” × 2.72” × 1.61”
