Specimens F - G - H - I - J -K - L

	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.
	JC3981.  Fluorite, sphalerite.  Gibralter mine, Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico.  5 x 7 cm.  191g.  $85.00.   Pale ice green cubo-octahedral crystals with some black sphalerite.   These crystals have a high degree of transparency.  These came out sometime around the summer of 2007.   On Hold
	JC3981.  Another view.  The sphalerite on the back side can be readily seen through the transparent crystals.
	JC3982.  Fluorite, sphalerite.  Gibralter mine, Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico.  6 x 6 cm.  194g.  $50.00.  Near colorless, clear crystals on a bit of sphalerite matrix.

	JC3752.  Fluorite, sphalerite, barite.  Elmwood mine, Elmwood, Smith County, Tennessee.   8.8 cm x 9.5 cm  798 grams.  $250.00.   Cubes to 2.7 cm.  Barite on the back top, that can be seen along the top edge.  Some of the barite is visible through the topmost fluorite cube, as they are quite transparent.  Resinous, red brown sphalerite crystals are scattered around on the chert matrix, which has a thin layer of drusy quartz on it.  Rather nice Elmwood piece.
	JC3638.  Fluorite coated by calcite.  Relief Canyon Au mine, Pershing Co., Nevada.    4.8 cm x 5.7 cm  38g.  $20.00.   About five years ago we found a small vuggy area in the bottom of one of the pits with a brecciated vein of calcite and octahedral fluorite.  The area was very limited in size and after a lot of hard work, produced about one flat of calcite and fluorite.  This is one of those pieces.  These are the best of this very limited find.
	JC3640.  Fluorite coated by calcite.  Relief Canyon Au mine, Pershing Co., Nevada.     2.5 cm x 3.2 cm  19g.  $15.00.  About five years ago we found a small vuggy area in the bottom of one of the pits with a brecciated vein of calcite and octahedral fluorite.  The area was very limited in size and after a lot of hard work, produced about one flat of calcite and fluorite.  This is one of those pieces.  These are the best of this very limited find.  A single fluorite octahedron, light lavender color, coated with calcite.  Although it looks cracked, most of the fluorite crystals suffered from some natural fracturing after emplacement, and the cracks are held together by later formed calcite.
	JC3653.  Fluorite.  Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico.  5.7 cm x 8.8 cm.  159g.  $90.00  A flat plate of nearly colorless crystals.  I'm not sure when this one came out, recently I suspect.
	JC1303.  Fluorite.  Auglaize quarry, Junction, Ohio.  5 cm x 5 cm  55g.  $5.00.  Shallow vug with small, root beer brown crystals.
	JC3736.  Fluorite.  Yaoganxian mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou prefecture, China.   5 cm x 7.7 cm  132g.  $55.00.  Pretty light purple cubic fluorites.  No damage.  A few small arsenopyrite crystals dot the matrix.
	JC3287.  Fluorite.  Elmwood mine, nr. Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee.  1 3/4" x 2"  50g.  $75.00.  Has handwritten label with it that says it was collected "8-9-95".  Pretty purple, with a high degree of transparency as can be seen in the partially backlit picture below.
	JC3287  Partially backlit.
	JC3416.  Fluorite.  Berbes, Asturias, Spain.  1 3/4" x 3"  108g.  $40.00   Up to 1 cm crystals.  Nice clean specimen.  One small cube on the top back side has a small cleave, the rest looks undamaged.
	JC3416.  Reverse side.
	JC3431.  Fluorite.  Emilio mine, Asturias, Spain.  2" x 2 3/4"  199g.  $50.00    Colorless crystals to 24mm with carbon? inclusions.  Can be displayed from more than one angle as can be seen in the below photos.  The black carbon? inclusions are less obvious than the photo would indicate.  The crystals are colorless and transparent.  A pretty and showy piece with some minor damage as described below.   Although very hard to see the topmost rear cube in this photo has a small cleave off the top.  There is also another cleaved crystal on the lower left front of the piece.
	JC3431.  Another view.  I turned this view upside down to show the small cleave off the larger crystal that is in the front.  The lower most tip of the front bottom crystal has a small cleave.  The other damaged area is now on the top right.

	JC1105.  Fluorite, calcite.  Colorado mine area, Castle Dome dist., Yuma Co., Arizona.  2" x 3"  68g.  $25.00.  Transparent, near colorless crystals with just the slightest hint of green to them.  Bladed brown calcite is growing around them.  The largest crystal is 1.2 cm on edge.
	JC2173.  Galena.  Julcani, Angaraes prov., Peru.  3.7 cm x 7.6 cm.  130g.  $10.00.  Silvery crystals, much more so than in this photo.
	JC3904.  Hausmanite.  Black Rock mine, North Cape prov., South Africa.   4 x 5 cm.  75g.  $25.00.  The pink material around the hausmanite appears to be fine grained andradite.
	JC4016.  Hematite, quartz.  Jinlong iron mine, Longchuan Co., Guangdong, China.  8.5 x 8 cm  272g.  $65.00.
	JC3800.  Hematite (twin).  Nchwaning II mine, South Africa.  2 cm x 3.1 cm.  14g.  $20.00.   Lustrous, mirror like faces on this neat little twin.
	JC3803.  Hematite.  Nchwaning II mine, South Africa.  1.5 cm x 2 cm  13g.  $20.00
	JC3803.  Another view.
	JC3807.  Hematite.  Nchwaning II mine, South Africa.  12mm x 16 mm.  6g.  $20.00.  Mirror bright luster.  The reflections on the face are of the photo table, not markings on the crystal.
	JC3989.  Hemimorphite, mimetite.   Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.  5 x 10 cm wide.  236g.  $85.00.  Light yellow little botryoids of mimetite are partly coating the matrix, with white to colorless hemimorphite coating the whole.
	JC3680.  Hemimorphite.  Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.  5 x 7 cm.  64g.  $35.00.  Nice distinct crystals.  The crystals have a very thin layer of a grayish mineral as a phantom like inclusion near the outer edge of the crystals.  I liked that, because the crystals tend to stand out more individually then when they are the usual pure white.

	JC713.  Hemimorphite.  Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.  1 1/4" x 1 1/2"  11g.  $10.00.
