RM1259   Wulfenite

Jianshan Mine, Ruoqiang, Bayin'gholin, Xinjiang, China

Group of very sharp and tabular wulfenite crystals, with an excellent brilliance, color varies between orange to red and from translucent to transparent. They are disposed very aerial on a matrix of goethite. Main crystallographic forms we can be observe are the first and second order tetragonal pyramids, truncated by the pinacoidal faces. These specimens often have some crystals with small breaks, in this sample there is only a small fractured crystal, not visible. It is one of the most complete and damage free specimen I found.


Size: 4.0 x 2.5 x. 2.0 cm.
Main crystal: 7 x 7 mm.

RM900   Fluorite with quartz

Huanggang Mines, Huanggang Fe-Sn deposit, Hexigten Banner, Ulanhad League, Inner Mongolia, China

These specimens, novelty, 2014, show very unusual fluorite crystals, with an uncommon color. They show cubic crystals beveled by the dodecahedron and deep hoppered growths. Also almost globular crystals in which the dodecahedral forms predominate. The color is very, very intense, vivid shades that vary between indigo and navy blue, clearly visible when light is incident. We observed also green tones within a few crystals. They have grown on quartz crystals covered by layers of smaller milky quartz. An aesthetic specimen for fluorite and crystal collectors.


Size: 11.4 x 7.6 x 7.4 cm.
Main crystal: 20 x 19 mm.
Found in 2014.

RM704   Calcite

Leiping Mine, Guiyang, Chenzhou, Hunan, China

Group of very sharp calcite crystals, two of them predominant, those show very developed prism faces mixed with the positive rhombohedron faces. Regarding the upper terminal faces we can observe the negative rhombohedron with striations. This type of crystallization is very unusual, I have not seen this combination, with this quality, never before. It presents some transparence and a more remarkable brilliance. It is accompanied by other calcite crystals of the same habitus, with a developed prism. A seldom seen piece for this mine. A sample for the best calcite collector display.


Size: 10,7 x 10,4 x 9,5 cm.
Main crystal: 8,0 x 3,5 cm.
Found in 2013.

RM705   Calcite with Fluorite and quartz

Jiepaiyu Mine (Shimen Mine), Shimen As-(Au)deposit, Shimen, Changde, Hunan, China

A perfectly balanced specimen. On the one hand we have a large scalenohedral crystal (5.2 x 2.3 cm.) showing perfectly defined the 180° twin between two scalenohedrons. This crystal is very defined and "doubly terminated" shows good transparency and brilliance. On the other hand we have a group of calcite crystals, also scalenohedral, interpenetrating each other, brilliant and translucent, with a slight yellowish tone. They are disposed on a matrix of tiny quartz crystals on which observe small aggregates of cubic violet fluorite, also interpenetrated. A specimen to be displayed.


Size: 9,0 x 7,2 x 5,0 cm.
Main crystal: 52 x 23 mm.

RM347   Pyromorphite on quartz

Daoping Mine, Gongcheng, Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang, China

On a matrix formed by corroded quartz crystals, due to chemically aggressive media, are disposed several small pyromorphite crystals of hexagonal prismatic habit, with a extraordinary brilliance, transparence and definition. In addition, its color, almost yellow-green near fluorescent, adds a special touch to this sample. The Daoping Mine has produced a large variety of pyromorphite since ca. 2000 and this is a particular example.
