A mostly massive sphalerite matrix hosts a rich coverage of colorless, icy, calcite crystals which reach 1 cm in length. Between these calcites and the matrix lies a crust of white, opaque calcite microcrystals. The surface of the sphalerite matrix is crystalline, with a submetallic luster. A few small cleaves and minor scattered edgewear is noted under magnification, but nothing that I would call significant damage. Sits nicely for display as shown without need for a stand.

Light green, lightly frosted, translucent to transparent fluorite octahedra on a crystalline albite matrix. The largest fluorite measures 2.3 cm across. The missing point to this largest fluorite appears natural. Muscovite 'books' to about 9 mm across are also present. One edge and the back are sawn. The sawn edge could be used as a display base.

Clusters of bright, metallic hematite crystals on matrix. The hematite crystals are sharp and reach 9 mm across. They also have a pitted surface, which appears to be natural. The matrix is covered by a dull, golden but microcrystalline substance, probably goethite. A few of the hematites are incomplete, but there is no major damage.

Deep green, opaque and nonterminated green beryl sections in quartz matrix. Very typical for the locality.

An opaque, deep green, complete emerald crystal rises from a schist and massive quartz matrix. 2.8 cm of emerald of well-terminated emerald is exposed, although more might be uncovered. The somewhat tabular emerald is contacted on back, but otherwise complete and free of damage. Sits nicely for display as shown without need for a stand.

A large fluorite crystal with delicately frosted faces. It is nearly complete; what may appear to be damage along the bottom is in fact natural roughness due to etching and secondary crystal growth. As is common among fluorites, the specimen's color depends upon the lighting. It is light blue under daylight fluorescent light (used for the pictures you see here), whereas it is nearly colorless under xenon light. A few chips and cleaves, and the price reflects this. The specimen came unlabeled as part of a large Spanish mineral collection, so I don't have more specific locality information.

Looks like the eruption of an ice volcano! Bright, snowy white (except for a dirty patch around the back) and mostly opaque. A few of the top branches are frosted with minor gypsum. Displays well. Currently mounted on an acrylic base with hot glue, but this is easily removed if desired. No damage.

This specimen is almost 100% green, opaque mimetite, in the form of tiny individual crystals and spherical crystal clusters. Also present are a few small calcites as well as several 2 mm, blocky to tabular, transparent to opaque, orange wulfenites. No damage.

A cluster of off-white, mostly translucent calcite crystals with a central open area. Individual crystals are flattened scalohedra, and reach 1.8 cm. Sawn back. Displays well as shown without need for a stand. A few small nicks are noted, but no significant damage.

A cluster of sharp, bright rose-pink, opaque rhodochrosite crystals in a cleft on matrix. Individual rhodochrosite crystals reach about 5 mm across. The cleft is lined with colorless quartz crystals, and scattered, mostly massive pyrite. Sawn base.

Clusters of sharp, bright rose-pink, opaque rhodochrosite crystals on matrix. Individual rhodochrosite crystals reach about 2 mm across. Also present are colorless quartz crystals, and scattered, mostly massive mixed sulfides.
