POW-1, above left and right 

A reddish-yellow 27x15mm powellite crystal on radiating white to reddish and greenish 40mm long sheaves of scolecite. A tiny fragment of one tip has been cleaved and repaired. Unusual color for the mineral, excellent crystal size and association. 

50x40x40mm, $290

 

POW-2, above left and right 

An enormous white powellite crystal, 40x30x20mm, on an off-white matrix of weathered pseudo-cubic apophyllite xls to 35mm. The crystal is perfect but for a small contact on the back. Several sawn surfaces on the matrix, sits up perfectly for display. A very nice addition to a fluorescents collection! 

90x60x60mm, $390

 

POW-3, above left and right 

An unusually aesthetic, exceptionally large white crystal, 50x30mm, on a bit of matrix. Contacted along the bottom edge of the front and a bit on the back edges. An amazing miniature, great addition to a collection of fluorescents! 

50x50x40mm, $750

 

POW-4, right

A massive white powellite crystal, what it lacks in perfection is made up for by size. Badly damaged on the front left corner and contacted on the upper right back. No matrix, just a bit of stilbite on the bottom edge. 

50mm across the horizontal edge, 60mm tall, and 30mm thick.

Insane for the species! Prime example for the fluorescent mineral collector!

$600

 

POW-5, above left and right 

A cabinet specimen, with a lively jumble of stilbite and heulandite crystals and a 20mm powellite xl in the middle, and a very nice sharp 7mm powellite just beneath the big one. Sawn matrix

130x110x50mm, $160

 

POW-6, above left and right 

A nice golden 14mm xl perched atop a thin plate of stilbite  and heuulandite xls, pretty neat! 

60x60x15mm, $150

 

POW-7, above left and right 

A pair of powellite xls on stilbite and heulandite xls; the central xl is 20mm and somewhat cavernous, the xls on the top right and the closeup pic is 15mm and perfectly perched, beautifully exposed, one tip is clear enough to facet. 

60x50x30mm, $175

 

POW-8, above left and right 

Nifty miniature with a 17mm golden powellite xl, contacted at the top so good bang for the buck.

60x40x20mm, $120

 

POW-F, above left and right

A busy cabinet specimen with two clusters of powellite xls, the main cluster is 25mm across. Sawn matrix could be naturalized a bit with some careful trimming. Way nicer in person.

100x90x50mm, $175

 

POW-J, right

A cute 5mm xl on the extreme left tip of the matrix, with stilbite xls to 30mm. Could, with skill, be trimmed into a nifty micromount.
