WW-601 - Fluorite with Barite - $600 ~SOLD~
Xiefang Mine, Ruijin County, China
8.4cm x 6.75cm x 3cm

An extraordinary combination of golden gems of barite crystals aesthetically distributed across sharp blue-green fluorite cubes. These specimens came from a VERY small find and almost instantly disappeared from the market as soon as collectors saw them - in fact few ever even were lucky enough to just SEE one. High quality specimens such as this were exponentially more scarce. These pictures don't even come close to capturing this specimen's aesthetics but if you have ever seen this material you'll know exactly what I am talking about. These specimens are all but gone and likely never to be seen again. Additional pictures available upon request.

WW-602 - Sugilite - $500 ~SOLD~
Wessels Mine, Kalahari Manganese Fields, South Africa
6.6cm x 5.2cm x 3.4cm
Ex. Charlie Key Collection

A superb example of this rare and intensely colored silicate. This specimen boasts a face covered by a stunning patchwork of juxtaposed groups of sharp, lustrous, slender parallel prismatic crystals. The crystals possess absolutely choice color and range in size up to over 15mm. Crystalline sugilite is very rare in any context and crystals like this of such incredible quality are exponentially more so. Additional pictures upon request.

WW-603 - Olivenite with Cornwallite - $600 ~SOLD~
Cornwall, England
5.4cm x 4.5cm x 2.4cm

A magnificent and aesthetic combination of olivenite and cornwallite from Cornwall. An old-time, classic beauty with each species represented in splendid fashion. The pics don't do it justice. Additional pictures upon request.

WW-604 - Sphalerite on Quartz with Pyrite- $450 ~SOLD~
Madan, Rhodope Mts, Plovdiv Oblast, Bulgaria
6.4cm x 5.1cm x 4.3cm

A stellar, golden gem sphalerite atop a matrix of tiny quartz points and minor pyrite. The sphalerite crystals are absolutely superb - glassy, gemmy, and very lively within. The quartz matrix has a curious, pale green color in person. Pristine. Additional pictures upon request.
