Copper with Tenorite

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.

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

Undamaged grouping of tan colored calcite crystals projecting prominently from a matrix which is covered with a first generation of smaller white calcite crystals. The top crystal is twinned. An unusual locality for me in that it comes from Gralex Quarry, Mont-sur-Marchienne, Charleroi, Hainaut Province, Belgium.

Multiple hexagonal crystals up to 1.0cm are scattered across the display face. The surface contour has good depth adding to the aesthetics of the piece. This specimen is from Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Very showy larger specimen from Bou Baker, Oriental Region, Morocco. Matrix face is covered with pink dolomite crystals. Gypsum balls containing lime green devilline are scattered across the dolomite.
