11.09ct Chrysoberyl
Crystal from Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. Color is more of a yellow and it seems
as if one can probably facet a gemstone from this piece - but it is a nice
crystal with natural crystal faces on all surfaces. This displays half of
the flower like crystal structure one expects from Chrysoberyl, but it
probably grew next to another crystal and therefore didn't obtain the
expected crystal habit, but it does have half the expecte crystalization
and if one looks at it carefully, it is an entire crystal with all the
expected faces considering of where it had probably been growing. It is
difficult to get a good color rendition as well as to show the crystal
structure of this piece. (egaj-11-12) $625 |

Spodumene Crystals,
Floaters with Terminations - Cuttable, large clean sections. Pink Spodumene
is called Kunzite. We would like to see these remain intact as crystals
because of the crystal structure. |

A - 738+ct Spodumene crystal which formed floating in a
pocket and is therefore doubly terminated. Great termination on one end;
other side is less distinct but is also terminated/etched. Very large clean
areas exist where one could facet some good sized gems. The color is
essentially clear with a hint of light yellowish green. This piece measures
3.75"x1.63"x0.63". A great piece for the collector or someone wishing to
facet gemstones. Priced to move at only $0.60 per carat! (adg-07-01c)
$544 |
B - 230+ct Spodumene crystal - as above, doubly terminated,
nicely etched but with very well defined crystal surfaces in a few areas.
Clean and like the above crystal, one can easily see through it. This
crystal has a slight tinge of blue, but again is mostly clear. Measures
approximately 1.5"x1.25"x0.5". (adg-07-01b) $725 |

Chrysocolla mineral specimen from Zaire, measuring about 3-3/4 x 2 inches

Moldavite from
Benednice, formed in some way from a meteorite impact and local
sand/soil, but how these particular scultped shapes occurred, we
haven't obtained any information. They are sometimes called 'hedgehogs'
because of the numerous spines and edges. This is a transparent as you
can see from the photo on the right, as the light goes through it and
displays underneath the piece. Very nicely formed piece with some
delicate spines - a wonderful specimen of this type, weighing 45.36cts

62ct Quartz Crystal with phantom(?), green chlorite inclusions and ???
(amc-11-02) $150 |
 |
A 56.35ct Tourmaline Slice of Clear, Various Greens and Black -
mercedes symbol internally? Possible, this came from the country known for
this - Madagascar. Another very unique natural gemstone! You can see some
stress lines in areas where there is a color change which is typical in
Tourmaline Slices (this includes Watermelon Slices and Bicolors). It has
not been repaired and should be fine unless dropped on a hard surface - but
that is true of even diamonds! Approximately 29.93x29.29x5.37mm

This is a beauty from a
famous location in China, and came from a person who wrote a detailed
technical report on the location and analysis of this particular
locale. We are attempting to obtain more information, but the language
barrier can be a problem. This piece sits on its own custom carved base
(rosewood?). Besides the main Emerald crystal, there is a small one
near the base and under the large one as seen in the photo; some color
to the left of the large one and above the quartz; and also part of a
crystal on the back/top. We can tell you that it is from the Malipo
Area, Yunnan, China. Approximate measurements are 3 inches across the
widest part of the front, 3" high and about 1.5 inches thick. Fine
Quality Mineral Specimens have been fetching outrageous figures. We
have seen interesting aesthetically pleasing Pyrite pieces fetching up
to $40,000. (smc-10-01) $2,779 The unique crystals we have in Beryl, Emerald, Garnet,
Tourmaline and others, seem ridicuously low... |

A nice Spessartite
Specimen showing good crystal structure and semi-transparent nature.
This piece comes from the famous Loliondo area, close to Serengeti
National Park and only 7 kilometers away from the Kenyan border. These
nicely formed crystals have been on fire when available. Weighs approx 80cts!!! (rr-10-01a)

Iridescent Rainbow Andradite Garnet Crystals from Japan!
(Photographed next to a very dark U.S. Dime!) There is only one other
locality in the world that produces this unique form of garnet, and that is
Mexico. This material comes from the Kouse Mine, Tenkawa mura, Nara
Prefecture, Japan (locality is on each box that houses the garnets
displayed below). Depending on the light and the angles, one will see a
rainbow of color coming off of the numerous surfaces these specimens have -
thus the term rainbow or iridescent garnet. To quote info found online -
"The rainbow colour seen in the andradite
from this area is assumed to be derived from interference of light produced
by thinly layered two substances that have different refractive indices
similar to the principle of labradorescence in labradorite." The
fine material has been depleted, but we have a contact in Japan where we
are capable of obtaining what is believed to be old stock. These crystals
are VERY rare. We obtained a number of small crystals a few years back and
they were sold to one collector very quickly. These are spectacular pieces
chosen from a number that our associate had available. We don't expect
these to be around very long, especially if collectors in Japan find out we
have a few wonderful top-notch specimens! |

Three Fluorite Crystal
from China. Choosen from a large grouping for color and interest; spent
about 30 minutes going through kilos of this material. Color is bluish to
teal to green, and some have streaks of purple. For the smaller pieces, we
were considering faceting the material since the color is so nice and
unusual, but currently, due to numerous business obligations and the cost of cutting, we have decided to
sell them in their natural state...All three for only $40.
Great for gifts for children or for the collector. |
