Quartz “cast” after AnhydriteA beautiful small cabinet sized specimen from the famous Silver Point Mine that produced some of the most well known Quartz casts from the state. These specimens have been labeled as being Quartz after Baryte pseudomorphs but, given the fact that Baryte is chemically inert and nearly impossible to dissolve, it is almost certain that these pseudomorphs are Quartz replacing Anhydrite. Finally, it appears that somebody else is on board with me as I read

"sheet" of Copper is a great display specimen from this historic locality

these are not the finest Pyromorphite specimens

They are unique in the fact that they are not only pseudomorphs

Huanuni is actually the RICHEST Cassiterite deposit in the world

the piece looks better in person

it's a textbook monoclinic "chisel"-shape and rarely seen from anywhere in Myanmar

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a good reference specimen of this extraordinarily rare mineral species

rare bi-color crystals of Beryl from Pakistan that were tabular with a pink core and a blue ring surrounding it

impressive
