  -  7. Sulfates, chromates, molybdates and wolframates

A very rich group of sharp psedo-octahedrical scheelite crystals, with an intense brown color, excellent luster and some transparence. They are disposed on a quartz matrix partially covered by small clinochlore green crystals. A very nice specimen for display.

Size: 8,2 x 6,4 x 3,5 cm.
Main crystal: 11 x 11 mm.
Found in 2009
Fluorescent under short wave UV

RM347   Pyromorphite on quartz
Pb₅(PO₄)₃Cl
  -  8. Phosphates, arsenates and vanadates

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.

Size: 6,8 x 4,7 x 3,2 cm.
Main crystal: 2 x 1 mm.

RM127   Carbonate-cyanotrichite with Fluorite and Malachite
Cu4Al2(CO3)(OH)12·2H2O

Thin needle like Carbonate-cyanotrichite crystals disposed as a velvet layer and as radial aggregates on a matrix with cubic colorless Fluorite crystals. These aggregates show a intense blue sky color, deep in the core.
