A good sized almandine crystal from this not well known Galician locality. Crystals usually appear included in a green schistose matrix. They show defined dodecahedron faces and rounded edges. With a deep red color. From a recent find. 1c2d4h

Group of calcite crystals disposed isolated on a matrix of brilliant quartz crystals. These calcite crystals show forms of the prism and rhombohedron in the terminal faces, with a slightly darker core related to the scalenohedron. It is an old specimen from a classic locality for Catalan mineralogy.

Pyrite cluster formed by some interpenetrated crystals, with marked striated cube faces and pyritohedron. Faces and edges have a characteristic curvature. Excellent brilliance. These are specimens with more than two decades from this classic pyrite Spanish mine.

This good sized pyrite specimen shows us several interpenetrated crystals, two of them dominant, with marked striated cube faces and pyritohedron. Faces and edges have a characteristic curvature. Excellent brilliance. Only two small corners are dinged. These are specimens with more than two decades from this classic pyrite Spanish mine.

Rich group of fluorite crystals, cubic, transparent and very brilliant. With a yellow color with greenish tones. They are partially covered by snowy white rhombohedral curved dolomite crystals. From a classic Spanish mine.

Rich group of cubic fluorite crystals, very sharp, transparent and with a greenish to yellow tone very characteristic of these fluorites. This specimen is from the mines of Sant Marçal (also called of the Matagalls Mt.), located in the massif of El Montseny. Nowadays not many samples are seen with this quality. A classic of the Catalan Mineralogy.

These hematite specimens belong from ancient finds (ca 1980s) in a mine located on the property of the Piquín farmhouse. In this huge size sample we can see an aesthetic botryoidal aggregates, with an exceptional luster. Even botryoidal "negative" cavities are observed, inward. In the fracture zones of the specimen, radial fibrous aggregates forming botrioids are revealed. A piece of quality without equal and very difficult to find nowadays.

Druse of trapezohedral crystals of andradite from this classic Spanish locality. Intense brilliance, with colors between brown to reddish. On a granatite with epidote. This is a specimen with pedigree from the Gustav Beck collection.

Large group of sphalerite crystals with an exceptional brilliance, honey color and transparency that allows light to play with the honey colors. Peppered on back side by small crystals of baryte showing flattened shapes. A little gemmy miniature. Troya mine was closed in 1993, only a few years before these specimens were collected in 1990. Nowadays the mine is collapsed and flooded.

Rich group of cubic crystals of fluorite, of intense color between violet and purple. They are disposed on a matrix of baryte, with tabular crystals in book shape, dull luster and zoned. Good size for display...

On a white matrix formed by several white dolomite crystals, sharp and with curved faces and edges, we can enjoy a crystal of sphalerite very brilliant, with transparence and a very uniform toasted honey color. Very aesthetic specimen. From a former German Col. Nr.812.

Group of fluorite crystals showing cubic faces with edges beveled by tetrahexahedron. Brilliance, transparence and with a slight bluish tint. A very aesthetic miniature from this classic fluorite Spanish locality.

Among the Spanish collectors, the Zamoran opals are well known. This specimen were collected from an area from which to obtain pieces with this quality and size is very difficult, I can certify it... This specimen presents opal nodules, with an intense orange color, some brilliance and surrounded by a solid matrix. I say this because, despite the visible fractures, stability is assured. A sample of quality for this locality.

An aesthetic display specimen. A huge size sample, with large and defined cubic fluorite crystals, with transparence, color between violet and purple. Some of them are partially covered with very small quartz crystals. Different than usual. From old mine times...

Specimen with a good size of fluorite of intense color and sharp faces and edges. It shows cubic forms with polycrystalline growths and a color between violet to purple very intense, with color zoning and transparency.

A very rich group of cubic fluorite crystals, with an intense violet to purple color depending on incident light. With a very aesthetic geometric color zoning. On a matrix covered by several quartz crystals. From old times...

It is a large group of fluorite crystals, with colorful cubic forms with polysinthetic growth on faces, brillinat, transparent to translucent and very intense color between purple to violet (depending on incident light), with geometric zonation. Peppered by small barite crystals. Very aesthetic specimen, with many years, coming from the mining area of Berbes.

Very aesthetic stalactic-botryoidal formation of goethite, with some iridescence. This specimen does not show those colors seen in the samples of this locality since it has not been manually husked. It is presented in the original shape with which it appears in the deposit, nowadays very difficult to find.

Good size specimen with many years, from the mining area of Berbes. It is a "flag", near to a floater, totally covered with small quartz crystals. On them, on both sides of the piece, several cubic crystals of fluorite with polysynthetic growths, interpenetrated between them, but also isolated. Of intense violet color, between transparent and translucent. It is accompanied by aggregates of barite. A piece of quality from tha past times.

Bright, very bright aggregates of tabular crystals of pyrolusite, very well defined, and disposed on a matrix of botryoidal romanèchite. They come from a recent find in this classic Murcia mine. Both species have been analyzed and the result will be sent to the buyer. Very aesthetic specimen.

A classic of Spanish mineralogy. Pantoja aragonites are known for their arrangement in the cavities of this gray marl, forming groups of prismatic crystals in divergent aggregates and with intense fluorescence under UV-LW light. In this specimen crystals have a very good size and are presented in several cavities in the matrix.
