Q-099 Smoky
Quartz with Aegerine inlusions $35
(Double Terminated)
Mt Malosa, Zomba, Chilwa Alkaline Area, Malawi
7.3 x 4.5 x 2.7 cm.
An extremely lustrous double terminated Smoky Quartz Crystal with multiple Aegerine crystals included within it. I backlit the specimen just a little to try and emphasize this, but the camera wouldn't pick them up. This specimen looks much better in person and has only one small imperfection on the termination.

S-011 Scheelite $240 SOLD
Ping Wu, Sichuan province, China
6 x 6.5 x 6.5
A big chatoyant crystal with concave crystal faces. This crystal is contacted on the bottom. The termination of the crystal looks a little rough, but I believe it is not damaged. This crystal fluoresces blue. The Ping Wu mine has now been closed, so the availability of these fine Scheelites will only become even scarcer.

5.6 x 1.8 x 1 cm.
