This was originally purchased to facet, as it is entirely clean, but
the crystal is so wonderful, we will offer it as a crystal and not facet
any fine gemstones from it. From an old associate of ours who has been obtaining yellow beryl crystals from Tajikistan for decades.

SILVER Rutile Needles. Unusual as Rutile in Quartz is usually gold! This

| Large Australian Gold
Nugget |
 |
| 14 grams(.45 ounces) - Large Australian Gold Nugget from the Victoria
Goldfields. An amazing piece that will hopefully not be melted down for
scrap. Even though this is essentially pure gold, it is worth far more than
"it's weight in gold" - as specimens like this have a much higher value...

Yellow Spodumene Crystal weighing approx 526cts! Transparent, doubly
terminated, a floater in the pocket where it grew. Country of origin is
Afghanistan/Pakistan. Nice clean sections for those who would want to facet
this specimen, but the color, clarity, size, terminations, etc. scream for
it to be left as a specimen! One can see a few rainbow patterns which are
related to cleavage planes within the crystal. (lumin-07-01) $1350
This is
a Floater, with two teminations and can be faceted! A real beauty for a
collectorl |

Ouro Preto in the state of Minas Gerais. This is the locality where the

are naturally doubly terminated. This make great collector items and are
especially very nice when pendants are made. As is typical of this

locality will produce very costly gemstones. We have seen individual pieces

Synthetic Russian Ametrine!
|
| A unique Russian Synthetic Ametrine is also available. We have seen
photographs of slices of this material in magazines such as GIA's Gems and
Gemology Magazine, but we have not seen an actual crystal. Very interesting
for a cutter or a collector of Russian's advanced lab grown synthetic
experiments. It measures approximately 7 inches by 2.75 inches across. Our
scales cannot weigh this crystal because it is sooo heavy but we can tell
you that it weighs over 1000ct! $1,400 for this wonderful specimen.
Very rare to actually find an intact crystal!... |

17.50ct Terminated Tourmaline Crystal - Nuristan
|
|
This crystal is naturally terminated and came from Nuristan. This is a
piece of blue green gem rough. Though not entirely clean, faceted or
cabochoned gems maybe created. However, because this is of decent size,
color and has a natural termination (which is actually white/clear
making it even more unique), we feel this would be a wonderful
collectors piece for those who enjoy crystals. We can see this made
into a wonderful pendant too! $2,675

| Natural Quartz Clusters - Minas Gerais, Brazil |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| These natural quartz clusters originated in the famous
state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This area is known for producing most of the
gemstones and crystals that come from Brazil. Each cluster has been chosen
individually from a large lot, bubble wrapped and shipped from Brazil to
the United States. There are approximately 125 pieces in total with most
never having been unwrapped since their arrival at our office back in 1987.
They have been crated and stored in a warehouse for those years. Four
pieces have been photographed. A dime has been used to indicate size. These make great paperweights, gifts or just as an
addition to an existing collection or perhaps even the beginning of a new
collection. |
