Faceted Stones
All these specimens are in pristine condition and look as if they just came
off the dop. I am not a gemstone photographer so I can safely say that all
the specimens are better than their images portray.
OKE-128 Fluorite and Calcite
Yaogangxian Mine, Hunan Prov., China.
CHI-011 Quartz, Calcite, Chlorite
RESERVED Yaogangxian Tungsten Mine, Yizhang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Prov., China.
Ex. Michael Walter Collection. I purchased this specimen approx. 15 years
ago when this famous mine was just coming to the mineral collecting world's
attention. Since then I have never seen a similar piece in the thousands I
have viewed. It measures 5.4 x 4.5 x 2.8 cm and is composed of three
double terminated crystals. Each crystal has a normal termination however
where they are joined each of the terminations is multiple and these are in
parallel growth. If that isn't amazing enough the surfaces have selective
coatings of what appears to be chlorite but it could just as easily be epidote
or some other mineral. Minor sulfides and a couple cute stacks of calcite
disks makes it an interesting, unusual and aesthetic piece. Crystals are
somewhat tabular, clear to milky in color and high in luster. Zero damage.
Perfection!! $290

Collection. This is a large, 49.3 carat, eye clean specimen made for
display. It measures approximately 2.6 x 1.5 centimeters. The cut is
deep and the color even, bright and aesthetic. This stone will speak for
itself even though the images have a tough time conveying its true beauty.
