	JC4005.   Adamite.  Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.  7.5 x 9 cm  355g.  $70.00   Light yellow crystals.  Two views shown.  Displays well either on its side, or standing on end.  The crystals are clear, gemmy, and a light yellow that was very hard to capture in the photos.  Better in person.  From the finds of the 1970's.

	JC6380.  Andradite, quartz.   Huanggang mine (Huanggangliang mine), Hexigten Banner (Keshiketeng county), Ulanhad League (Chifeng prefecture), Inner Mongolia, China.      10.5 x 13 cm  606g.  $195.00.      A striking specimen with golden/greenish crystals of good size making up the specimen.   The garnets have a dark olive green core, with an outer zone of light beige, than another final zone of golden color, giving them a very unusually sort of golden green color.  The luster is excellent, glassy and bright.  There is some damage where the crystals have been dinged and one or two of the zones cleaved off, leaving the darker core.  This can be seen on the left and right edges of this specimen.   This seems to be a problem with most of these I saw. This one is a  flattish plate covered with these golden olive crystals.  Scattered over the face are white quartz crystals for contrast.  A very pretty piece.

	JC6386.  Andradite, quartz.   Huanggang mine (Huanggangliang mine), Hexigten Banner (Keshiketeng county), Ulanhad League (Chifeng prefecture), Inner Mongolia, China. 9 x 14 cm  572g.  $195.00.        The luster is excellent, glassy and bright, I think the brightest luster in this suite, although its pretty close contest on a couple of them.   Highly reflective, making it tough to photo.  Three close ups are shown below.    This one has a darker olive green color.    The front is decorated with quartz crystals giving a nice contrast.

	JC5271.  Andradite.  Kembele, Arrondissement Diakon, Cercle de Bafoulabe, Kayes region, Mali.  4 x 5 x 8.5 cm long.  152g.  $100.00.   A group of brilliant, dark brown, almost black crystals.  On exposure to high intensity light they show a slight greenish brown tinge to thin edges.  What I consider the display side, shown here, has no damaged crystals although a couple show where another crystal had grown against them.  This is visible in the crystal on the left side and is typical of garnet groups.

	JC1288.   Anglesite.  Darwin mine, Darwin district, Darwin, Inyo county, California.  5 x 7.5 cm  162g.  $20.00.   A nodule of anglesite showing the zoning from the core outward.  Collected at Darwin during the 1960's.   Has a sawn back.   Neat example of galena oxidation to anglesite.

Nandan, Hechi prefecture., Guangxi Zhuang autonamous region, China.   4 x 8 cm   107g.  $50.00.   Brilliant silvery arsenopyrite crystals, some partially coated with tan siderite crystals.  The siderite also partially coats the quartz crystals.
