Spectacular very bright and very transparent crystalline aggregate, it is a group of calcite crystals on a manganese oxide matrix characteristic of the famous "Herculano" mine, a piece with crystals with well-defined faces and edges and extraordinary beauty.

Precious needle-shaped calcite crystals on a matrix of calcarenites from a quarry from which the "albero" is extracted. They are translucent, acicular, yellow crystals with a vitreous luster and a trigonal crystal system. A new discovery of wonderful calcite specimens located in a geode, with an interesting morphology, in a municipality in the province of Seville (Spain). Crystals react to ultraviolet light. Very fragile.

Very rare piece formed by rancièite and todorokite from a very unknown mine in Granada, Spain, specifically in Busquístar. We show beautiful super aesthetic mineral oxides, with a surprising color that create a beautiful contrast between the two. A piece that can not be missing in your collection.

In a quarry (quarry "La Tinaja") where clay is extracted to produce ceramic pieces, acicular and starry aragonites are obtained with needle-shaped, radiated, high-gloss and high-transparency crystals that take the name of the municipality where they are located, they are called aragonites "Pantoja", specimens difficult to find in other places and that, due to their shape and uniqueness, are highly appreciated by mineral collectors.

Mineral that reacts to UV light.

Interesting piece due to its richness in hexagonal prismatic crystals of fluorapatites dispersed on matrix, with greenish colors, bright, transparent, faceted and well formed from the La Celia mining area. A very interesting piece from this region of Murcia (Spain), which reacts to ultraviolet light giving reddish tones.

From the Alvarrões open pit mine, which explores aplito-pegmatitic veins with lepidolite for the extraction of Li, this specimen comes in which we see 2 crystalline aggregates intertwined with each other, one of lepidolite with silver tones and tabular morphology and the other of Rubellite of pinkish tones and prismatic morphology. A beautiful piece.

Spectacular Chilean piece from "Cabildo" in which we can enjoy crystallizations of pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite and quartz of extraordinary beauty. A piece with a nice aesthetic. Methacrylate box included.

One of the main and most important Spanish sites where you can find the so-called "Jacintos de Compostela", reddish bipyramidal quartz crystals, forming aggregates in "pine cones" or "balls", or loose on a matrix, is the city's keuper from Chella, which is an outcrop where there is a large amount of hematoid gypsum with red clays, and among them we can see hematoid quartz of the variety commonly called "Jacinto de Compostela", which appears forming geodes, forming "pine cones" or loosely between the gypsum matrix, as shown in this characteristic piece from this site, a sample of "selenite" gypsum, transparent, with a glassy luster, monoclinic crystalline system, flexible and of low hardness in which we can observe scattered red quartz crystals of the "Jacinto de Compostela" variety, which have a glassy luster, some translucent crystals and others opaque, and a trigonal crystalline system. A beautiful piece from this important and unique deposit of this type of quartz.

Characteristic sample of the "Cantera Carija" granite quarry with wollastonite crystallizations of Vitreous and Pearlescent luster, white color and acicular fibrous crystals forming fans.

[adraelfineminerals]

Extraordinary and unique sample of chalcophanite from the mining deposit of the “Haiti” mine, with a very beautiful aesthetic and an oxide finish that gives the piece a unique beauty. Partially covered with what seems to be some organic material.

[adraelfineminerals]

On an aggregate of reddish-toned gypsum crystals, we can see a series of red Quartz crystals (compostela hyacinth variety) very well finished and even doubly terminated, of great beauty and showiness.

[adraelfineminerals]

Nice specimen of green opal, a sample of semi-precious mineral very well valued by mineral collectors. The piece has a very intense dark green color and reddish and brown tones that form veins throughout the piece. It is a bright piece, with waxy and unusual brightness of the Mazarrón deposit, in Murcia (Spain).

[adraelfineminerals]

Super aesthetic serpentine with soapy texture and vitreous shine. Very aesthetic specimen with impressive colors.

Antigorite is a mineral of the serpentinite subgroup. Very aesthetic. And this specimen presents very curious lamellar micaceous crystallizations.

[adraelfineminerals]

Sample from the "Haiti" mine where we can see a series of spheroidal aggregates of Pyrolusite on a limonite matrix. In the piece we can see crystals with striated, bright faces, with a metallic luster with the crystals superimposed on each other. A beautiful specimen.

[adraelfineminerals]

Impressive mineral specimen, in which we see an aggregate of good-sized celestite crystals, with crystals up to 2.4 cm. Collected many years ago. The Ulea sites are completely destroyed by collectors, so it is impossible to find a specimen as colorful as this one. In perfect condition, impossible to find this size today. Very aesthetic.

[adraelfineminerals]

Interesting piece due to its richness in hexagonal prismatic crystals of fluorapatites dispersed on matrix, with greenish colors, bright, transparent, faceted and well formed from the La Celia mining area. A very interesting piece from this region of Murcia (Spain), which reacts to ultraviolet light giving reddish tones.

[adraelfineminerals]

Very complete specimen of the Lebrija deposit called "Quarry Minera I", where we can see a series of crystals that will delight us with their observation, they are prehnite crystals, calcite, acicular "hairs" of Amphiboles and magnetite crystals, in addition to what it could be the albite, a mineralogically rich piece, to observe it carefully.
