RM3379   Huanghoite-(Ce)

Orange veins of huanghoite-(Ce), very fine grained and associated with other rare earth carbonates such as sinchysite-(Ce) and Röntgenite-(Ce), along with aegirine of greenish tones. A hard to find rarity. Bayan Obo is the world's largest rare earth deposit (REE). Interestingly the fluorite content of the ores also makes it the largest fluorite deposit in the world. You have to think that the Bayan Obo deposit is 18 km long and 3 km wide, covering a total area of 48 km². The deposit is made up of three main open pit deposits.

RM2242   Roweite and Olshanskyite

Rich aggregates of laminar and tabular roweite crystals, with an exceptional quality for the species. The crystals of this rare calcium and manganese borate show very well defined forms, with a light brown color and excellent definition. The quality of these specimens is far superior to that previously known for the species. Along with them, and giving a very aesthetic touch, a group of olshanskyite crystals, a calcium borate, of a snowy white and with parallel growths. There is no doubt that this specimen is very worthy in any mineral collection and display.

Size: 5.5 x 4.5 x 4 cm.

RM2040   Roweite with Johnbaumite and andradite

Fan-shaped aggregates of excellent roweite crystals, beige orange colour, defined, good size and with quality for this species. Roweite is a rare calcium and manganese borate. They are accompanied by white hexagonal prismatic crystals of johnbaumite, up to 7 mm, excellent for the species. Johnbaumite is a very rare calcium arsenate, the arsenic analog of hydroxylapatite. In a matrix with green andradite and transparent colorless pentahydroborite. A very complete specimen, with very rare and well crystallized species.

Size: 5.5 x 4.5 x 3.7 cm.
Main crystal: 1.5 cm (Roweite)/ 7 mm (Johnbaumite)
Found in 2017.

RM900   Fluorite with quartz

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.
