A chunk of pale matrix that is heavily infused with pale green Duftite. Scattered throughout the vugs are hundreds of lustrous, gemmy Azurite lathes. Collection card states 1954 as date of acquisition. Apologies for poor photos, Azurite is a nightmare to resolve.

Several pockets in some dark matrix contain beautiful clusters of bright red Chalcotrichite needles. The vugs have protected the delicate crystals, so they are not compressed or damaged.

One of the big finds of Tucson were the large purple Coquimbites, found in Peru just before the show. Their color changes with light source, showing the most purple under fluorescent lamps and becoming rather pale under sunlight.
This specimen also has turquoise blue Chalcanthite, yellow patches of Copiapite and white Alunogen. These Coquimbite are about as good as the species gets.

One of my favourites this, I just love these Tule Fluorites. Gemmy crystals with a super-fine layer of purple. Fantastically stepped surfaces. The piece looks good from all directions, with crystals wrapping around the core. Great condition.

Well formed and distinct cubes of Galena to 3cm. The white oxidation could probably be removed, but I prefer the contrast it provides.

A nice bed of modified octahedral Galena, with flecks of realgar/orpiment, Sphalerite and a couple of unidentified brassy crystals (see last photo).They could be very complex Pyrrotite crystals, but I'm really not sure, could be something more exotic!?
