Item #14045 Stibnite 7.5x7.2x5.3 cm Largest Crystal Size: 35mm $140.00 Baia Sprie Romania This is a very showy specimen of the Romanian stibnite. It is a fine cluster of well formed, elongated, well-terminated stibnite crystals that displays perfectly. Stands just like in the photo for display. Excellent!	Item #19290 Stibnite 16.5x1.6x2.0 cm Largest Crystal Size: as above $95.00 Xikuang Shan Mine Leng Shui Jiang, Hunan China This specimen is a long, lead-grey lustrous crystal of stibnite, that is terminated at one end. In the typical manner of stibnite, it diverges from itself, splits into two crystals and is heavily striated. There are some small barite crystals attached. Sweet!	Item #20260 Sphalerite, Siderite, Pyrite 6.3x6.7x5.4 cm Largest Crystal Size: Sp-9mm, Si-10mm $85.00 Eagle Mine Gilman, Eagle Co. Colorado, USA An excellent representation of the main mineralization at this long-closed mine. The front of this quartz matrix is covered by sphalerite crystals with a few, disc-like siderites and sprinkles of tiny, sparkling, pyrite crystals.	Item #20659 Galena 9.7x6.4x3.9 cm Largest Crystal Size: 20mm $85.00 Level 450/500, Block 22 Kruchev Dol Mine, Madan Bulgaria A plate of galena crystals from this modern day, classic locality. It is difficult to see but his is, in fact, one big spinel law twin and that is why the crystals appear to be in parallel. On one side, the crystals have that rounded appearance that we sometimes see from Madan. Just partially. The rest of the crystals are exceedingly sharp! Excellent luster. Very nice piece.
Item #20912 Boulangerite, Quartz 12.9x7.0x3.2 cm Largest Crystal Size: Bo 8mm, Qu 20mm $75.00 Zacatecas Mexico Classic Zacatecas!

Displays very well. One of the nicest sphalerite crystal locations in modern times!

THE classic association that we often see from the Eagle Mine, now long closed. Shows well!	Item #26710 Enargite, Quartz 9.3x5.4x2.4 cm Largest Crystal Size: 13mm $150.00 Leonard Mine Butte, Silver Bow Co. Montana, USA Here is a hard to come by, good-looking plate of enargite crystals from the famous Butte Locality. There is bruising on a number of the crystals but there are many unbruised enargite crystals, as well. Half of the specimen has many of the enargite crystals, draped with little blankets of tiny quartz crystals for a nice accent. Displays very well.
Item #24654 Millerite 4.8x3.8x2.2 cm Largest Crystal Size: 6mm $35.00 Halls Gap Lincoln County Kentucky, USA This silica geode has many fine, hairlike millerite crystals in it.

There are also some spiky crystals that may be millerite but I'm not sure. Interesting piece! s	Item #25066 Bournonite 3.9x2.4x3.0 cm Largest Crystal Size: 15mm $65.00 Les Malignes Mine France A cluster of characteristically sharp, yet rounded bournonite crystals from this locality that is famous for this mineral.

Item #25950 Arsenopyrite 3.3x2.0x1.7 cm Largest Crystal Size: as above $45.00 Jardine Montana, USA A twinned, crystal of arsenopyrite that is oxidized on the outer surface. The crystal is not complete and is missing part of the crystal on the backside. Still, an interesting crystal from an interesting locality.
