Celestite

Three well formed deep red garnets in a black schist matrix. The garnet crystals are each approximately 3.5 x 3.5cm. This specimen is from Markstay area, Awrey Township, Sudbury District, Ontario, Canada.

Two intersecting crystals with good luster. Both crystals are terminated on each end. This specimen is from Mimosos do Sul mine, Mimosos do Sul, ES, Brazil.

Translucent apple green fluorite is covered with small botryoidal pyrite spheres. All sides of specimen are crystallized with no obvious point of contact.

Great combination of these two native elements. As seen in the photos, the silver is well crystallized.

It is difficult to get just copper chisel chips anymore. This specimen with both copper and silver is unique. As shown in the photos there is a generous amount of silver. This piece was acquired from the collection of John Perona in August of 2014. I in turn purchased it from Michigan collector, Ed Coleman, last week. It is from the Cliff Mine, Keweenaw County, Michigan.
