MB-1938 - Pyromorphite
Daoping Lead-Zinc Mine, Gongcheng, Guangxi Province, China
A superb miniature of aesthetically arranged prismatic, green pyromorphite crystals to 1.3 cm in length on matrix. Very fine from the find of a few years ago. There are a couple of damaged crystals but they aren't visible from the display side. Nevertheless, I priced it low (previous dealer's price was $500.00).  Size: 2.7 x 2.0 x 4.8 cm.

MC-1776 - Quartz var. Amethyst scepter
Las Vigas, Veracruz, Mexico
A choice, medium purple, glassy, translucent quartz scepter crystal on a well trimmed matrix with accenting smaller, colorless quartz crystals. Aside from a very small nick on the termination, it is undamaged and sits up perfectly for display. This is a very good scepter specimen, especially for Veracruz! Size: 5.3 x 3.4 x 5.8 cm.

MB-1886 - Smithsonite with Hemimorphite
Level 8, San Antonio el Grande Mine, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico
Limonite matrix mostly covered by lovely blue-green “rice grain” smithsonite crystals averaging 2 mm in size with glassy, colorless, prismatic hemimorphite crystals scattered throughout. One hemimorphite crystal is broken but it is difficult to find. These were extremely popular when they came out a few years ago and have not been seen since. In excellent shape! Size: 6.2 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm.
