BZ0779 $400 |
|
|
|
|
Description:
A hexagonal prism (truncated at the top) about 2.9 cm long and 2.7 cm across with lots of purple lepidolite on beige albite. It sits up beautifully for display and is quite a stunning piece.

Capelinha,
Minas Gerais,
Brazil
BZ0781 $250 |
|

A jumble of epidote crystals, lighter green than usual, all with terminations which have a much-lighter green (olive color). An unusually fine epidote with hardly any damage.

Coronel Murta,
Minas Gerais,
Brazil
BZ0786 $150 |
|
|

A really dark purple (not too common) batch of lepidolite hexagonal prisms on a nicely contrasting feldspar matrix. This mine produces some of the prettiest lepidolites anywhere in Brazil.

Rhodonite on Feldspar |
11 x 8 cm.
Conselheiro Lafaeti,
Minas Gerais,
Brazil
BZ0788 $150 |
|
|
|
|
Description:
Bright-red rhodonite on snow-white feldspar - great contrast. In the past I always loaded up on these. This was the only one I saw worth buying; I wish I could clone it.

Spessartine and Diopside on Cleavelandite |
11 x 7 cm.
Paraiba mine,
Rio Grande do Norte,
Brazil
BZ0789 $150 |

I'd never seen this combination before (only one piece!). Great color and very unusual combo.

Hematite and Uvite on Magnesite |
12.5 x 9 cm.
Brumado,
Bahia,
Brazil
BZ0792 $250 |
|
|
|
|
Description:
A large, nearly 4 cm, glossy, terminated hematite with a few uvites, all on magnesite. Most of the hematite is spectacular, but one side was broken. There are some small uvites which grew on the hematite.
|
|
|
Herderite and Brazilianite on Feldspar |
11 x 8 cm.
Mina Barra de Salinas,
Minas Gerais,
Brazil
BZ0793 $1200 |
|
|
|
|
Description:
Lavender-blue terminated herderite crystals (largest 3 x 1.2 cm) with brazilianite (unusual combo) on white, contrasting feldspar. Herderite is rare and very expensive. This piece was one of only a few I saw and was reasonably priced compared to the
others. |
