[MUNICH]: A city, a place, a family impulsing it and hundreds volunteers making the miracle possible: Mineralientage
Munich  Germany

CT66AM1: Prismatic crystal with flat contacts at the back of the prism, parallel growths and polycrystalline formations with sharp terminal faces.
The specimen, from an old historical mine, comes from the Carles Curto collection, whose label and catalogue entry we will send to the buyer.
Big Boulder Mine, Larimer County, Colorado  USA

Specimen size: 2.5 × 2.1 × 1.3 cm = 0.98” × 0.83” × 0.51”

NR14AM1: Druse of complex Calcite crystals that are very rich in faces, clearly dominated by scalenohedron faces and rhombohedron terminations, shinier and 'cleaner' than usual in this type of specimen. The crystals are translucent and brownish gray due to the inclusions of Chalcophanite, which also forms the matrix.
Herculano Mine, El Puntal, Campos de Golf, Atamaría, Cartagena, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Murcia, Region of Murcia  Spain

Specimen size: 8.4 × 6.2 ×  5 cm = 3.31” × 2.44” × 1.97”

Main crystal size: 2 × 1.2 cm = 0.79” × 0.47”

NT14AM1: Druse of complex Calcite crystals that are very rich in faces, clearly dominated by scalenohedron faces and rhombohedron terminations, shinier and 'cleaner' than usual in this type of specimen. The crystals are translucent and brownish gray due to the inclusions of Chalcophanite, which also forms the matrix.
Herculano Mine, El Puntal, Campos de Golf, Atamaría, Cartagena, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Murcia, Region of Murcia  Spain

Specimen size: 9.4 × 7.2 × 4.2 cm = 3.70” × 2.83” × 1.65”

Main crystal size: 1.6 × 0.6 cm = 0.63” × 0.24”

EK91AM1: Druse of lamellar Baryte crystals with very sharp crystal forms and polycrystalline growths, translucent, lustrous and with a uniform sky-blue color, in a matrix composed of a geometric lattice of white Quartz microcrystals. This is from a find that was of extraordinary quality, from a mine that has produced very few specimens.
San Simón Mine, La Parreta, Alumbres, Cartagena, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Murcia, Region of Murcia  Spain (2020)

Specimen size: 19.6 × 12.8 × 7 cm = 7.72” × 5.04” × 2.76”

Main crystal size: 2 × 1 cm = 0.79” × 0.39”

TM89AM1: Group of Pyromorphite crystals with sharp faces and edges, with parallel growths and hopper terminations, with good luster and a very vivid apple-green color. On matrix, with Baryte.
San Andrés Mine, Espiel, Comarca Valle del Guadiato, Córdoba, Andalusia  Spain

Specimen size: 5.5 × 5.2 × 2.9 cm = 2.17” × 2.05” × 1.14”

Main crystal size: 0.7 × 0.5 cm = 0.28” × 0.20”

NR68AM1: Polycrystalline Cinnabar growth with very well defined crystal forms, dominated by the rhombohedron. Transparent, very lustrous, with bright red color, on a matrix with small Quartz crystals.
Almaden Mine, Almadén, Comarca Valle de Alcudia, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha  Spain (±1960-70)

Specimen size: 6.1 × 4.1 × 3.8 cm = 2.40” × 1.61” × 1.50”

Main crystal size: 1.2 × 0.6 cm = 0.47” × 0.24”

NP6AM1: Very sharp and shiny crystalline growths and cleavages of Antimony on a massive Quartz matrix. A Spanish classic, from a locality from which it is currently extremely difficult to get specimens.
La Viñuela reservoir, La Viñuela, Comarca La Axarquía, Málaga, Andalusia  Spain (1987)

Specimen size: 3.3 × 2.9 × 1.6 cm = 1.30” × 1.14” × 0.63”

NE26AM1: Delicate and very aerial growth of two generations of Calcite crystals, one of them as white crystals with the crystal forms of a very acute scalenohedron, translucent and with a pearly luster, and a second generation whose crystals have curved terminations and a yellowish color. Such quality specimens are rare from this locality.
Can Palomeres Mines, Malgrat de Mar, Comarca Maresme, Barcelona, Catalonia  Spain (2017)

Specimen size: 8.8 × 6.7 × 6.1 cm = 3.46” × 2.64” × 2.40”

Main crystal size: 2 × 0.5 cm = 0.79” × 0.20”

NG37AM1: Octahedral Galena crystals with the vertices cut by cube faces, very well defined, lustrous and on matrix with spheroidal growths of small crystals of Sphalerite and small crystals of Marcasite. Different from what you usually see from this locality.
Reocín Mine, Reocín, Comarca Saja-Nansa, Cantabria  Spain

Specimen size: 12.3 × 8.6 × 6.4 cm = 4.84” × 3.39” × 2.52”

Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.4 cm = 0.20” × 0.16”
