CLH57 Pyrite
Boldut Mine, Cavnic, Marmures Co., Romania

Pyrite crystals on matrix from Romania.

When I first started collecting, Romanian minerals were as plentiful as the comparable Peruvian material today.  This days, many of the Romanian mines are closed, and the material is not as common.

4.1x 2.2x 2.3 cm
$33

Numerous tiny red rhodochrosite crystals on matrix.  As is typical of specimens from this locality, there are multiple species present here, including ancyllite.

As a side note, Mindat lists 384 species as being found at this location, of which it is the type locality for a staggering 58 species.  For comparison, Gebhard’s Tsumeb II lists 242 species at Tsumeb (Mindat gives 264, with 61 type localities.)

$135

$185  $135

An example of deep green cuproadamite on matrix, from Tsumeb. There is damage (note the sheared crystals in the picture), but for the price, you would have a hard time finding another example of the material.

Yangshuo Pb/Zn Mine, Yangshuo, Guangxi Province, China/
8.4x 6.8x 6.1cm
$68

A cabinet specimen of this extremely rare mineral from the now finished find made a few years back. This discovery is the only significant find of the species since the mid-1800"s, when plumbogummite was discovered at Roughton Gill and the surrounding localities. There is a little bruising to the specimen, but this s visible on nearly all of the pieces recovered from the find
