HUEBNERITE QUARTZ CRYSTALS
Great looking Metal Specimen of Huebnerite Quartz Crystals, showing amazing crystal formations protruding out of the interlacing quartz matrix. Slight translucency on edges of Huebnerite crystals with some minimal yellow sulfur coloured oxide on surfaces or protected crevices and in the Quartz. This is a very collectable piece. Huebnerite is an ore of Tungsten. Tungsten is used to make fake Gold bars. That is because Tungsten has the same specific gravity as gold does. The best way to test for this type of fakery is to drill a very small hole in the bar.

CLEIOPHANE GALENA CRYSTALS
A stunning Cleiophane Galena Crystal Specimen on a Quartz matrix. Featuring many well formed crystals of Cleiophane – some on twinned Octocube Galena crystal forms. A sprinkling of micro Chalcopyrite is noticeable. Cleiophane is the gemmy or purer version of Sphalerite, sought after for its rarity and beauty. An outstanding addition to the metals cabinet for a serious collector. A real wow piece, my photos don’t do it justice. Not common Cleiophane or twinned Octocube Galena to come by and at a bargain price. The location is also classic of where some of the best Sphalerite, Galena and Quartz specimens are from. Almost forgot to mention some amazing Mangano Calcite comes from here too.

PYRRHOTITE OLD STOCK
An amazing mineral Pyrrhotite Old Stock! A collection-worthy piece. This specimen displays a crystal of Pyrrhotite and is from old stock. Pyrrhotite crystals are rare and hard to come by. A single partial crystal with laminated structure, minor surface Pyrite and some Calcite. An interesting difference between Pyrite and Pyrrhotite is a magnet will stick to Pyrrhotite but not to Pyrite. Please read the interesting details below about weakly magnetic and two minerals in one.

2 X MAGNET NEODYMIUM 48H
These 2 X Magnet Neodymium 48H are extremely powerful and not recommended for under 14 years old, to be honest only adults should even consider playing with two of these thumb hammers. Very tempting to play with and get your fingers stuck in when they snap together. Seriously powerful magnets.

PYRRHOTITE SPHALERITE QUARTZ
An amazing combo of three great minerals Pyrrhotite Sphalerite Quartz! This location is known for its incredible metal/mineral specimens and this is no exception. An affordable, collection-worthy piece. This specimen displays many classic barrel shaped crystals of Pyrrhotite and is from old stock. Pyrrhotite crystals are rare and hard to come by.
Location:
Dalnegorsk, Russian Federation.Dimensions:
4.9cm x 7.3cm x 6.2cm, 215g.Pyrrhotite: Fe7S8, Also given as Fe1-x (x = 0 to 0.17).
Named in 1847 by Ours Pierre Armand Petit Dufrenoy from Greek “pyrrhos”, flame-coloured. Pyrrhotite has some unusual characteristics. First, it has an unusual formula. The amount of sulfur does vary by roughly 20% or 50 to 55 atoms of sulfur per 50 atoms of iron. Or is it the iron that varies? Really the same difference. Thus the unusual formula of Fe1-xS. Secondly, it has two symmetries.

SPARKLING PYRITE CRYSTALS
Beautifully simple Sparkling Pyrite Crystals with very reflective faces. Great addition for mineral, metals or pyrite collections. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral’s metallic luster and brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. Interestingly Pyrite does not attract a magnet. This specimen comes from a premier location and sports a mini cave cavity right through.

Crystal 14.5mm x 16mm.Location:
D.R. Congo, Africa.Carrollite was discovered in Carroll County, Maryland, and recognized as a mineral species in 1852. It is named for Carroll County. Carrollite is collected for its mineralogical rarity, rarity of sizeable crystals, unusual chemical composition as one of the relatively few cobalt-bearing minerals, high degree of cubic-crystal development, and associations in composite specimens with such minerals as quartz and calcite.

Galena: PbS
Galena is the primary ore mineral of lead. Worked for its lead content as early as 3000 BC, it is found in ore veins with sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tennantite-tetrahedrite, etc. and in skarns, as well as in sedimentary rocks where it may replace carbonate beds or be deposited in pore spaces.
