Quartz with Two Super Large Enhdros that REALLY Move!
The title of this mineral specimens says it all - a nice piece of Quartz with two Very Large Very
Movable Bubbles(Enhydros). Click on the photo to display a closer image of the two bubbles.
(ggc-15-02) $4200 - for what this is and with very few similar pieces available, this seems to be a VERY good buy!
(In Tucson of 2023, we saw a quartz with a large bubble, not as nice and as moveable as this one, and the price was also
in the same price range - and we have More Than One Large Moving Bubble...Think of the millions of years that have passed when this liquid and gas was captured
by this growing quartz crystal - and the extinct plants and animals that were flourishing at that time. Simple Amazing!
A very attractive group of Quartz coated with Blue Fluorite - from Inner Mongolia.
A relatively new find. Click on the first image above for more detail. (crysco-15-01) $450

A - Doubly Terminated Yellow Beryl Crystal (Helidor) weighing 166.65cts from Tajikastan.
Note the terminated small Smoky Quartz growing on the side. This crystal seems to be clean and one might be able
to facet gems, but the natural beauty and uniqueness of the piece should mandate it remains as a specimen.

B - Wonderfully very transparent/clean light green Fluorite cluster from China (Xian Hua Pu).
(crysco-15-02) $350

Because of the unique habit/termination, how does one really put a price on a one-of-a-kind piece??

A 205ct Tourmaline Crystal from the Famous Cruzeiro Mine in Minas
Gerais Brasil. Purchased directly from the Neves Family back in the 1980s -
owners of the Cruzeiro. This is a dark green crystal whose color is best
seen when held up to the light or against a light surface. If you look
carefully, there is also a hint of blue near the base. Clean with a few
things internally which is to be expected; this was bought initially for
cutting, but it has been determined that is best left as a specimen. This
is a large crystal with other crystals running parallel down the main
crystal as can be seen in the photos. Other crystals grew next to this
grouping, and their impressions can be seen on the side. Crystals like this
have gone up over the past several years, and we have marked this at a fair
price, below the wholesale pricing we have seen for similar material while
in Tucson over the past few years. $3,600

A clean terminated Topaz crystal from the Thomas Range, Juab County,
Utah. With other minerals on the outside that actually go into the crystal
a bit, making this fascinating to look at with a loupe or microscope.
Measures about 35mm long and weighs about 18cts. There are a few formerly
Garnet crystals on one end that have been replaced by Hematite - the label
indicates the following: "Topaz with Hematite After Garnet". Note not only
the wonderful full termination on the right hand side of the photo, but
there is another terminated very small Topaz crystal on the far left - very
unique all around and from the United States! Nice color to the Topaz also,
being a peach or orangy beige. (pm-14-02) $1,200
An incredibly Beautiful Cluster of Burmese Bi-Color
Tourmaline on quartz matrix. One can even see a terminated Quartz Crystal
in the photo on the left. Burmese gemstones and mineral specimens are
HIGHLY sought around the world and prices have and will be constantly going
up. This particular piece literally came from Mogok, a well known and
famous gemstone/mineral producing area! (mogok-14-01) $3450
Because this
was a Burmese piece, we asked one of our associates/friends his thoughts
about this specimen: "The piece from Burma is atypical and nice... It
is nice, and Burmese stuff is pretty hard to find at a decent price and
probably should be bought whenever reasonable." His forte is larger
more costly pieces in the tens of thousands of dollars - if this were
slightly larger, this would be associated with those figures! Fits in the
palm of one's hand and is probably about 2" or so.
An extremely large Black (Schorl) Tourmaline Crystal from
China with a custom-made stand (possible Cherry or Teak??). There seems to
be a layer running horizontally near the base that seems to have some
color, green, and that might be a layer of Green Tourmaline. The piece is
in wonderful condition, shows numerous other crystal faces on the sides, is
well terminated, and is something that one just doesn't see in this size.
From top to bottom of the crystal, it measures about 4.5" and across piece,
it is again about 4.5". (sissto-14-01) $1,275
