TC2280EFA

Crystals of Imayoshiite with a tabular shape and hexagonal outline, transparent, very lustrous and colorless, on matrix, with small white coatings of Shinichengite (this new mineral species was initially labeled as possible Tobermorite-Clinotobermorite), Fluorapophyllite-(K) and small reddish brown Datolite crystals (bakerite variety).
The specimen has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. The best known so far for the species.

Shijiangshan Mine, Yinwu, Linxi, Ulanhad League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region China (15/07/2021)

Type locality Shinichengite

With analysis copy

€280 / US$303 / ¥45570 / AUD$460

TC2230ECZ

Aggregates of lamellar Roweite crystals of great size and quality for the species. On matrix, with radial aggregates of colorless, transparent and very lustrous Olshanskyite crystals and small Andradite crystals. The Roweite crystals are well differentiated, have a cream color, with well defined faces and edges. The quality of the specimens is indisputably superior to any previously known, both for the individualization of the crystals and for their sharpness of forms, the size of the crystals and their association with first-rate Olshanskyite, which makes them worthy of being included in the best private and museum collections. We have had the specimens analyzed to confirm the identity of the different species and we will send the buyer a copy of these analyses.

Shijiangshan Mine, Yinwu, Linxi, Ulanhad League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region China (04/2017)

Specimen size: 8.1 x 5.2 x 4.2 cm

With analysis copy

€230 / US$249 / ¥37430 / AUD$380

TC2580ERY

Groups of Olshanskyite crystals, with a very elongated shape, transparent, colorless and lustrous. With very sharp crystal forms and related with minor Roweite, Andradite and Wurtzite. Olshanskyites from the Shijiangshan mine were already known for their quality, which far surpassed the best known to date for the species, but a very recent find has raised the quality ceiling to unsuspected levels. From this new find we have been able to choose among the best specimens recovered.
We will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.

Shijiangshan Mine, Yinwu, Linxi, Ulanhad League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region China (04/2017)

TC2540MMW

Aggregates of cyclic twins of Cerussite crystals between lamellar and tabular and finely profiled by prismatic microcrystals of Mimetite, very fine and acute, with a very vivid orange-red color.
These mimetites have been analyzed in detail and turned out to be the rare chromium-bearing variety. We will send a copy of the analyses to the buyer of the specimen.

Nakhlak Mine, ↓200 m., Madan-e Nakhlak, Anarak District, Nain, Isfahan Province Iran (01/2015)

€540 / US$584 / ¥87890 / AUD$890

TC2240ETP

Parallel doubly terminated growths of Quartz crystals with a dipyramidal shape, scepter terminations, and very rich in inclusions. With small Magnetite and Calcite-Dolomite crystals. Most of the Quartz crystals apparently lack prism faces, which has sometimes led to the erroneous belief that it is β-Quartz.
