Baryte with Calcite, Dolomite and Fluorite
 

JFD217AP7: 'Something different' is what drives us.
The yellow barytes are “something quite different” from a mine as well known as the Moscona Mine. The Calcite and the Fluorite add the signature touches, but that yellow Baryte is what makes the difference.
Moscona Mine, El Llano, Solís, Corvera de Asturias, Comarca Avilés, Principality of Asturias (Asturias)  Spain (1998)

Specimen size: 5.8 × 4.8 × 4.8 cm = 2.28” × 1.89” × 1.89”

JFD219AP7: Their color and sharpness characterize Touissit azurites, as well as their reddish to orange Dolomite matrix.
This crystal, very isolated, combines all that is expected for this locality, and, for its size, synthesizes the virtues for which these azurites are famous.
Touissit mining area, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region  Morocco (±1985)

Specimen size: 4.6 × 3.5 × 2.3 cm = 1.81” × 1.38” × 0.91”

JFD221AP7: Many isolated crystals of Roselite, without cracks or damage, of good size and luster, and with the “fresh” matrix Calcite showing no etching or corrosion.
The size of the piece and its matrix-crystal ratio are in excellent balance, and thus all seems to be in its place in this great piece, and with the intense color of the Roselite being the cherry on the cake.

EXM68AP7: Interesting Chinese novelty. Very sharp dipyramidal crystals of Liroconite, with good luster and an intense blue color, with green tones in some areas of the specimen, on matrix. The specimen has been analyzed in depth due to the curious presence of greenish tones in the crystals that turned out to be due to slight impurities of iron.
We will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
