Dark grey hexagonal gmelinite crystal with pyrite inclusions, pale tan siderite, red fluorescing calcite, and pyrite. Ex Jo Price Collection. Width of view 6mm. Stack of 55 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.
Greenish-yellow balls of kunatite (previously Unknown Cu Fe Phosphate), with blue-green balls of turquoise/chalcosiderite, a square-shaped torbernite crystal, and some unidentified darker green balls (pseudomalachite?), all on albite, orthoclase and smoky quartz. Collected by John Carey who also gave specimens to Museum Victoria so that they could describe it as...
Black berlinite with light blue inclusions (burangaite?), white augelite, blue scorzalite, and colourless/grey/white albite(?), fluorescent red under shortwave UV, brown garnet(?), a small amount of moss green wicksite(?) and colourless quartz. Width of view 6mm. Stack of 60 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version. Below:...
Greyish-green prismatic spray of crystals of elpidite (green fluorescence), pale yellow tabular thomasclarkite, silver hexagonal molybdenite, tiny brown siderite, green prismatic aegirine, and sodalite (orange fluorescence), in white albite (pink fluorescence). A yellow arrow points to thomasclarkite and elpidite. Identified by mineralogist Dr. Ian Graham. Click on the images for...
Orange prismatic eosphorite crystals. Green crystal aggregates possibly (probably?) zanazziite not roscherite as labelled. Small pyrite crystals also present. Unidentified colourless-white crystal clusters probably albite? Ex Jo Price Collection. Ex Jack Nelson Collection. Width of view 9mm and stack of 56 images (first photo), 4.5mm and 28 images (second photo),...
Colourless to greyish, and pinky-orange crystals of ancylite-(Ce), or possibly calcioancylite in small cavities in albite. In the second photo, white (probable) calcioburbankite (Type Locality). You can see the hexagonal cross section if you look closely. The label said burbankite. Width of view 3mm and stack of 50 images (ancylite)...
