JC13881. Amethyst on fluorite. Mambilla plateau, Taraba state, Nigeria. 12 x 9 x 4 cm 730g $125.00. Amethyst coated Fluorite with Pyrite from a recent, unique find from Taraba State, Nigeria. This rare combination of Amethyst and Fluorite looks amazing both under regular and UV lighting. The Fluorite fluoresces a violet-blue color, while impurities in the Amethyst fluoresce orange, giving it incredible contrast under UV lighting. The fluorite varies from a greenish to slightly purplish color. On the fluorite is frequently a layer of tiny pyrite crystals, which can be seen as the yellowish color on the boundary between the fluorite and amethyst. On this piece, the corner of the cubic fluorite is seen on the lower front as a purplish color, which in reality is slightly lighter than the photo shows. RESERVED |

JC13884. Barite. Bou Nahas Mine, Oumjrane mining area, Alnif Cercle, Tinghir Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco. 8 x 6.5 x 4 cm 336g $35.00. There is quite a bit of barite coming from this mine, most of it combined with pyrite, marcasite etc. This piece caught my eye because it is a 3 dimensional conglomerate of sharp, brilliant luster crystals, a bit different from everything else I saw at Tucson 26. Displays nicely, and is pretty. I took photos of all sides. RESERVED |
