JC5062. Ferberite, quartz, fluorite, dolomite. Yaoganxian mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou prefecture, China. 5.5 x 8.5 cm 190g. $150.00. A 7 cm long doubly terminated ferberite is perched on quartz crystals. A small light purple fluorite sits on the right hand termination. Dolomite lightly coats the ferberite and the quartz. The ferberite is undamaged, but does show some growth marks near the upper left, where it looks like some other crystal once rested against the ferberite. A neat specimen that shows well. |

JC3714. Ferberite, quartz, phlogopite. Yaoganxian mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou prefecture, China. 6 cm x 7.6 cm. 124g. $150.00 Doubly terminated 3.1 cm x 3.8 cm ferberite crystal. The ferberite has bright luster and perfect terminations with good luster. The left hand end of the ferberite is coated with phlogopite. There are a few other ferberite crystals embedded in the phlogopite. There are a couple of dolomite rhombs on the reverse side, with minor pyrite cubes. |

JC5280. Fluorite, cookeite. Mundo Nuevo/Tamboras, Pallasca province, Ancash Department, Peru. 10 x 14 x 14 cm >1000g. $500.00. A large, light green, highly translucent fluorite octahedron on cookeite matrix. A smaller satellite crystal is also present. There is an abrasion on the main crystal, which can be seen in the photos below; probably occurred when the specimen was being mined. For a specimen of this size and quality, it is not highly significant, although I did lower the price a few hundred because of this abrasion. |
