Specimen FM-7: One of the largest and finest lavender calcite twin crystal from San Martin, Zacatecas. The crystal is perfectly developed and is perched on a piece of quartz. Crystal size is 8 x 6.5 x 5 cm. Price on request.

Specimen FM-8: Very exceptional and found for the first time at Naica. Numerous intensely pink colored manganoan calcite scalenohedrons to 2.5 cm in length are sitting together with a couple of tiny arsenopyrite needles on a sphalerite matrix. The calcite crystals are completely covered (partly replaced ?)with a crust of anhydrite, several small white anhydrite balls and crystals sit on the calcite. Specimen size is:w:5.5, d:4.0, h:3.5 cm. Price on request.

Specimen FM-10: Very aesthetic fluorite specimen from Naica; individual crystals measure up to 3 cm in diameter and show cubic and dodecahedral faces. An early green generation is overgrown by water-clear fluorite. As inclusions appear up to 3 mm large shiny chalcopyrite crystals. Small calcite scalenohedrons sit on the fluorite. Specimen size: w:12.5, d:6.5, h:4.0 cm. Price on request.

Specimen FM-11: Gorgeous fluorite crystal cluster with pyramidal growth from Naica. An older green to almost emerald-green fluorite generation in the center causes the different green tints. The younger generation of water-clear fluorite forms lustrous crystals with cubic and dodecahedral faces. As inclusions appear chalcopyrite crystals. Specimen size: w:14, d:7, h:10 cm. Price on request.

Specimen FM-12: Superb fluorite specimen with pyramidal growth from Naica. An older green to emerald-green fluorite generation in its center causes the overall green color of the specimen. Fluorite crystals show cubic and dodecahedral faces and exhibit numerous inclusions of chaclopyrite crystal clusters. At the edges of the specimen are enclosed pieces and crystals of shpalerite and galena. White calcite scalenohedrons sit as latest generation on the fluorite. Specimen size: w:12, d:10, h:8 cm. Price on request.

Specimen N-7: Numerous up to 2 cm long water-clear coarsely acicular nifontovite crystals on matrix from Charcas. Matrix is made up of marble fragments and porous heavily included nifontivite needles, cream-coloured mm-large grains of lizardite pseudomorph after (periclase ?), furthermore microcrystalline clinochlore, andradite, vesuvianite and calcite. Price on request. Close-up images see below.
Specimen size: W: 7 cm, D: 4.5 cm, H: 4.0 cm   SOLD

Specimen N-5: A gorgeous nifontovite matrix-specimen. The wall rock consists of vuggy acicular (brown) nifontovite-lizardite-clinochlore, some calcite, and several cm-size angular fragments of skarn and other altered rock. Clear nifontovite crystals are sitting in a large cavity. Crystal sizes range between 1 and 2.5 cm, one crystal at the margin of the piece is 4 cm long.
Specimen size: W: 14.5 cm, D: 15 cm, H: 8 cm
