TA26AH1: Quartz with Anatase and Chlorite inclusions

A novelty at Tucson 2018. Group of Quartz crystals that are transparent, bright, have cavernous forms on some of their faces and one of them a very well defined scepter. They have Chlorite inclusions and small and very bright Anatase crystals on their surfaces. Just superb!

NZ46E6: Quartz with Arsenopyrite & inclusions

Very transparent crystals of Quartz. So you can see the well-defined crystals of Arsenopyrite and sprays of Mica inside it. They were trapped in it as the Quartz grew. The Quartz itself is a floater (with a recrystallized base) and has a totally undamaged tip, which is not that common in specimens from Panasqueira given the way they are collected. On the outside there are similar minerals to those inside: Mica and Arsenopyrite.

MA61AI4: Quartz with Calcite

A novelty at Munich 2018. Very fine Quartz with an almost "alpine" quality but mined in a polymetallic mine, which is not so common. The association of white Calcite crystals adds a "touch of class" to this unpredictable specimen.
This specimen has been photographed and published as a novelty at the 2018 Munich Show in the magazine "Lapis" number 12/2018, page 30
Aït Ahmane, Agdz, Bou Azzer mining district, Zagora Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (10/2018)

MB61AI4: Quartz with Calcite

A novelty at Munich 2018. Very fine Quartz with an almost "alpine" quality but mined in a polymetallic mine, which is not so common. The association of white Calcite crystals adds a "touch of class" to this unpredictable specimen.
Aït Ahmane, Agdz, Bou Azzer mining district, Zagora Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (10/2018)
Specimen size: 10.2 × 5 × 2.4 cm = 4.02” × 1.97” × 0.94”

MX37AI7: Quartz with Calcite

A novelty at Munich 2018. Group of colorless Quartz crystals with diffuse phantom growths, extraordinarily bright and coated by very sharp white scalenohedral Calcite crystals. A beautiful surprise from a very recent find in the Aït Ahmane area of Morocco.

Specimen size: 9 × 8.8 × 6.5 cm = 3.54” × 3.46” × 2.56”

Very elongated individual Quartz crystal, with the characteristic Dauphine habit. Transparent, lustrous, with inclusions and very aerial and complex Calcite crystals with selective color zoning, implanted between the prism and the terminations of the Quartz.The specimen comes from the Santiago Jiménez collection, basically dedicated to Spanish localities but with good specimens from other countries too.
Diamantina, Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais Brazil
Specimen size: 13.7 × 2.9 × 2.3 cm = 5.39” × 1.14” × 0.91”

Main crystal size: 13.3 × 1.9 cm = 5.24” × 0.75”

JFD196AP3: Quartz with Calcite

Its form is a luxury. The Quartz crystal is long and has a deep twist enabling us to imagine it as a very showy arch, even more so for being on a kind of natural base, also formed of Quartz. Of all the Alpine finds in the Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne area, this one stands out for its attractive deformity.
Le Noirey, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France (1980)
Specimen size: 11.7 × 7.7 × 4.6 cm = 4.61” × 3.03” × 1.81”

JFD96AO2: Quartz with Calcite and Clinozoisite-Epidote (Series)

A piece that I have had for many years, from the very popular Sierra y Lomas Quarry (aka Los Serranos Quarry), with its usual Clinozoisite-Epidote (Series) crystals, its usual Quartz (in this case with inclusions), and with a not so usual Calcite crystal, very clear and shiny.

Specimen size: 5.7 × 3.1 × 2.2 cm = 2.24” × 1.22” × 0.87”

Main crystal size: 1.6 × 1.5 cm = 0.63” × 0.59”

TC220MF: Quartz with Calcite and Dolomite

Parallel growths of Quartz crystals with dipyramidal habit and scepter terminations. Some of the crystals apparently lack prism faces, which has sometimes led to the erroneous belief that they are β-Quartz. The crystals, rich in inclusions, are partially covered by small white Calcite-Dolomite crystals.
Huanggang Mines, Hexigten Banner (Kèshíkèténg Qí), Chifeng (Ulanhad), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region China (2014)

Specimen size: 11.2 × 8.2 × 6.8 cm = 4.41” × 3.23” × 2.68”

TT67AG0: Quartz with Calcite and Siderite

Group of Quartz crystals on matrix. They have a very short prism and are translucent with a pale amethyst color, and they are partially encrusted by white Calcite crystals and with small spheroidal Siderites.
San Valentín open pit, Sancti Espíritu, Sierra Minera de Cartagena-La Unión, La Unión, Comarca Campo de Cartagena, Region of Murcia (Murcia) Spain
Specimen size: 12.2 × 8.2 × 5.8 cm = 4.80” × 3.23” × 2.28”

JFD39AN7: Quartz with Chalcopyrite

Laguépie is an interesting French locality where a quarry exploits leptynites (microgneiss) and where local field collectors often find interesting things. A good example is this elegant piece in which we can see different generations of Quartz of different colors that cover spheres of what has been called “spherosiderites” and it is true that fibrous structures can be seen inside the spheres, compatible with carbonates. Also inside the Quartz crystals there are inclusions of what appears to be Chalcopyrite. A very fine piece and different from those usually seen.
Laguépie, Quercy-Rouergue, Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France (2019)
Specimen size: 6 × 5.5 × 5.3 cm = 2.36” × 2.17” × 2.09”
