Item3A-A natural-colored blue/gray sphere of banded Agate from Brazil;great pattern definition.70mm.Okay,you are probably thinking 'what makes this one special'?Well,look at the next photo,and we shall see!

Item3A-WOW!This sphere has what appear to be rods of Tourmaline included in the Agate!How rare is that?These rods come very close to the surface and are easily seen in the photo;they are of fairly good size.They also appear to be encased in another mineral,and here's the really weird part,at least two of them are branched!Under inspection with a suitable light source,it can easily be seen that two of these included rods have 'branches',or extra growth coming off at various angles!This is a truly rare and amazing piece;awesome,incredible,atounding!

Item3A-Here is another angle on the same area of the sphere.You can see the 'branching' on the bottom and top inclusions in this picture.$200.00  NOW $120.00........Now$110.00 !!!!!!!!!

Item3B-This is one of the oddest specimens that I have ever seen,and probably one of the rarest as well.The Stilbite has formed over a small bed of Apophyllite crystals into a most unusual and intriguing shape.The crystallization of both minerals is exceptional,and at the rear there is a pleasant red coloration from another mineral;probably Hematite.This one has to be seen to be believed,it is that unusual!11.5 cm wide,8 cm high and 7.5 cm deep.

 This is the back -side,which shows the formation of the 'mushroom' quite well,and shows off the reddish tinge toward the bottom-center.$145.00 NOW $100.00........Now $75.00 !!!!!!!!

Item3C-This outstanding cluster from Madagascar is completely double-terminated/self-healed.The entire piece emanates a soft-pink glow,and it is wonderfull to hold.The larger crystal on the right has a distinct curvature,and there are many unusual features about the whole specimen.10 cm high,6.7 cm wide and 6.5 cm deep.

Another shot showing one of the possible display positions,and illustrating the pinkish glow.$65.00........Now $40.00 !!!!!!!!!!

Item3D-A large clear specimen,with two smaller crystals growing out from the side.This is a real stunner;it contains veils,planes,rainbows,penetrators and manifestors.The clarity is also exceptional,and on the back side is a bed of pinkish Anatase that is completely covered over with secondary elestial growth.The one smaller crystal is loose in its socket,but is still held in place by the other smaller crystal.13 cm high,8.5 cm wide and 7.5 cm deep.

Here is a veiw of the back,showing the Anatase bed.

Another shot of the back.

A different angle on the front side.$275.00....... Now $200.00 !!!!!!!!

      NOTE:   The side crystal recently detached itself from the main crystal,apparently of its own accord,as it was just sitting there on the shelf!The side-crystal and the socket where it was attached are completely self-healed,so now there are two very incredible specimens instead of one.When displayed as in the bottom photo,the smaller crystal sets perfectly in its socket on the large crystal;there is no damage whatever!gb
