Smoky Quartz with Hyalite Opal
-Available $40
This stunner is much more transparent than your standard Erongo Smoky! What you’re seeing on the left crystal is iron staining on the opposite side. On the right termination you can see the almost cobblestone pattern of the crystal growth.

You can see some faint daylight fluorescence on this Fluorite from the Harvest Pocket, Lady Annabella Mine, England. Really cool seeing the contrast between the Calcite growth and the sharp edges of the Fluorite. $40

Some self collected Halite from my October 2023 trip to Searles Lake, CA! I had to add it to my personal collection because it's so unique. I could release it for the right price though.

This Barite on Calcite from Elk Creek, SD is possibly my favorite specimen in my shop. Beautiful fluorescent Calcite with an absolutely perfect phosphorescent Barite crystal perched on top. Measures 5.5 x 3 x 4 cm.
