JC12695Vivianite, ludlamite.   Cabeça do Cachorro claim, São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil.  13 x 11 x 6.5 cm 361g  $350.00  Bladed vivianite crystals, mostly standing up from the matrix, a single small ludlamite is sitting on the matrix.   I have looked at hundreds of vivianites from this find, and have not seen any with upstanding crystals like in this specimen.   Not all are terminated, as these are found in hollow nodules, and the tips were undoubtedly against the wall of the nodule.    These have gone up quite a bit in price recently.  This one is well priced, as a quick search of the internet will show.

JC5065.  Cerussite.  Daoping Lead-Zinc mine, Guangxi prov., China.  6 x 8 cm  389g.  $38.00.   A tough one to photograph, as the crystals blend together.  Has reticulated crystals, bladed crystals, and "snowflake" crystals all together.  One of the brighter, prettier cerussites I've seen from here.  Two views are shown to try to get an idea of the myriad crystals composing this specimen.  Reminds me of the old 9 level cerussites from the Bunker Hill mine that came out in the 1980's.     These were found earlier on at the Daoping mine.
