MICROS FROM HAGENDORF, GERMANY

Miscellaneous new micromounts - kind of a mess right now, will get alpha sorted eventually

 

HARMOTOME, PYRITE, QUARTZ, FLUORITE - Several excellent white twinned harmotome xls of 1mm with xlized associates, nice assemblage to have in a small mm box! 20mm across, $8

COPPER, Beaver Valley Quarry, near Shine, Jefferson County, Washington - The coolest coppers I've seen in years, a real treat for even the most jaded micromounters; awesome xl groups to a few mm with bright coppery color in vugs in basalt matrix. Hard to describe, each one different, they have the Manhattan skyline look you see on some cuprites and the right-angle corners and u-turns you find on some filiform pyrites. Good micromounts $6; incredible and very photogenic micromounts $10

RUTILE, TOURMALINE, Tucumana Mine, Inca de Oro, Copiapo, Chile - Cool specimens from an unusual locality, excellent acquisitions for the TiO2 fan or a twinned crystal collector. The tourmaline is mostly quite minor, as embedded acicular sprays, black/grey/green/brown; other possible associates, none particularly interesting, are chrysocolla, feldspar, quartz, and apatite. Good specimens, 25-40mm across, with one or more exquisite equant cyclic twin rutile crystal of 2mm or so, sort of a brown/black in color, with lovely red glints, just $12 each.
