TC240NF

Group of Fluorite crystals with a cubic habit beveled by the dodecahedron, forming polycrystalline growths. Between transparent and translucent, with good luster and an intense and vivid color. A Spanish classic.

La Viesca Mine, La Collada mining area, Huergo, Siero, Comarca Oviedo, Principality of Asturias (Asturias) Spain (2007)

Specimen size: 8.4 x 7.8 x 6.2 cm

Main crystal size: 4.8 x 4 cm

TC220NDX

Group of Fluorite crystals with a cubic habit with staggered and polycrystalline growths on the faces, transparent, with bright luster and an intense color, on matrix, with Quartz.

La Viesca Mine, La Collada mining area, Huergo, Siero, Comarca Oviedo, Principality of Asturias (Asturias) Spain (2009)

Specimen size: 6.8 x 5.9 x 3 cm

Main crystal size: 4 x 3.8 cm

TC190NR

Very aerial group of Baryte crystals in polycrystalline growths, translucent, with good luster and a snow-white color. From a locality where no others have been found for a long time.

Cola de Caballo Cove, Sierra Minera de Cartagena-La Unión, Portmán, La Unión, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Region of Murcia (Murcia) Spain (1990)

Specimen size: 10.2 x 7.6 x 5.2 cm

Main crystal size: 4.3 x 4 cm

TC460ND

Group of acute scalenohedral Calcite crystals with phantom growths and polycrystalline surfaces with recrystallizations of Dolomite and Fluorite crystals. This is a very old piece, from the 1960s, and it comes from Minas de Villabona, a locality much less prolific than the better known Moscona mine. It belonged to the Casado Margolles collection and we will give the buyer of the specimen its collection card, very complete and detailed.

Villabona Mines, Barrio de la Estación, Villabona, Llanera, Comarca del Nora, Principality of Asturias (Asturias) Spain (±1960)

Specimen size: 14.8 x 16.5 x 12.3 cm

Main crystal size: 9 x 3 cm

Former collection of Casado Margolles

TC60NG

Scepter growth of a Quartz crystal (amethyst variety), with parallel growths in the lower part, translucent, with bright luster and an intense color, embedded in a Quartz crystal (smoky variety)

Mas Sever Quarry, Massabè (Mas Ceber), Sils, Comarca La Selva, Gerona / Girona, Catalonia / Catalunya Spain (2008)

Specimen size: 4.6 x 2.8 x 3.2 cm

Main crystal size: 3.5 x 2.7 cm

TC220EL

Aggregates, on matrix, of Linarite crystals with the elongated and flattened shape typical of the species and with an intense color and luster that contrast with the deep green of the acicular Brochantite crystals. The specimen has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.

Specimen size: 10.4 x 8.6 x 2.7 cm

Main crystal size: 4.3 x 1.5 cm

TC85EL

Individualized spheroidal aggregates of Prehnite with parallel growths of crystals with well defined crystal forms, translucent, with good luster and a uniform green color, on matrix. An unusual morphology for this deposit.
