Description:
A single, very well-terminated, transparent and magenta-red, striated rubellite crystal in a height of 9.5 cm! The strong color is slightly changing from a nice magenta-red nearby the termination, over an orange-red/yellowish-red to a darker magenta-red body color. Some lepidolite and also cleavelandite can be seen on some of the crystal faces (please look at the pictures). The pictures were taken when backlit the crystal.This crystal is a gemstone because of the unique vivid coloration. That piece comes from the famous Malkhan pegmatite fields, Krasnyi Chikoy, Transbaikal, Eastern Siberia, Russia.
The total weight is about 77 grams (= 385 carats). No damages! Very nice and quite large rubellite from Malkhan!

Description:
Another unique elbaite-combination: Colorzoned and lustrous, well terminated elbaite crystals up to 2.8 cm in length - freestanding on a single, sharp edged and transparent rock crystal in a size of 5 cm. The elbaite crystals have a dark green body coloration and ends up into yellowish-green- to colorless-zoned terminations.
All elbaite crystals - except one very small crystal on the specimens back - are perfectly terminated or recrystallized / self healed. The rock crystal shows very lustrous crystal faces but is not complete all around - which does not affect the appearance of this unique elbaite specimen.
All in all a superb quartz-tourmaline combination which speaks for its own. The specimen was found this year in Stak Nala, Haramosh Mts., Skardu District, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Description:
Silvery, sparkling and well formed, herringbone-shaped crystals of native silver to about 2.5 cm in length - well arranged on black native arsenic and at that the whole ensemble is accompanied and framed by beige to pink baryte. All sides of this unique and very aesthetical silver specimen are covered with lustrous metallic silver crystals. On the specimen's back you see smaller but also very well-formed silver crystals (picture 6 and further) .
Extremely rich and contrasty specimen from the worldfamous mining district Schlema-Hartenstein, Ore Mts., Saxony, Germany. It was found in the Shaft No 186b. Very, very hard to obtain such a quality on the shows today - especially in a cabinet size. Specimens size, crystal size, contrast, stability of the crystals, luster of the crystals and last but not least the combination with baryte are all extraordinary for that pristine piece. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an European classic at its best!
