This
is the richest specimen of bromargyrite I have ever seen! The specimen

and varies from razor sharp to somewhat round in habit. Minor quartz
association with this chunk of silver bromide!

This
specimen has numerous scattered and clustered sulfide species such as sphalerite
and pyrite on it. Near the center is a 1.1 cm crystal of jordanite.
The crystal appears to have been lightly buffed to improve its luster but
the fces are all there. Note that in the photo on the left the jordanite
appears to be reddish. This is due to the reflection of my hand on the
piece. It is steel gray in color.

This
specimen of goethite is host to sprays of flat lying crystals of legrandite.
The longest is slightly over 3 cm in length. This specimen displays
the color zoning found in a lot of legrandite with nearly snow white cores
trending to deep canary yellow. A little trimming and removal of
the iron stain on this specimen would add significant value.

This
is an exceptional specimen of rosasite on Malachite pseudomorphing azurite.
The pseudomorphs are atypically razor sharp and the thin coating of rosasite
provides a unique hue to this piece. Small secondary azurite crystals
are found scattered about the specimen and the peach colored mineral is
smithsonite. This specimen was secured during the fourth Vaux-Academy
Mineral Expedition held between 1929 and 1930.

is a specimen of rosasite on malachite pseudomorphing azurite.
The pseudomorphs in cross section clearly show the layering of the rosasite
on malachite. This specimen comes with an Art Montgomery label identifying
the specimen as "paraurichalcite". This was later found to be the same
as rosasite and the name was discredited.
