TN2-1    Emerald - Carnaiba Mine, Pindobacu, Bahia, Brazil    $25;    This double terminated crystal comes from the largest emerald-producing mica schist deposit in the world.   The crystal is well defined and has good color.    Size:  1 x .5 x .4    Sold

TN2-2    Chalcoalumite - Lavender Pit, Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona    $60;    Absolutely superb chalcoalumite crystals line the main vug.   More crystals are scattered among the smaller vugs on both the front and back of the specimen.   There's also a small amount of malachite present, but the star here is the chalcoalumite!    Size:    1.7 x 1.5 x 2

TN2-3    Manganoan Vesuvianite - Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada    $50;    One of the classic Canadian minerals, the manganoan vesuvianite crystals on this specimen feature great color and luster, and present themselves well.    Size:   2.2 x 1.4 x 2.5

TN2-4    Brookite - Magnet Cove, Hot Spring County, Arkansas    $15;    I've seen lots of brookite crystals, but I don't recall ever seeing a blocky one with the front face composed of many steps "en echelon".   Some micro-chipping is present as seen in the last photo.     Size:  1.3 x 1 x 1

TN2-5    Legrandite - Ojuela Mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico     $15;    This free-standing legrandite cluster is iron stained, and displays well from all sides.     Size:  .6 x .6 x 1

TN2-6    Rhodochrosite & Pyrite - Leonard Mine, Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana    $20;    The pyrite and quartz crystals contrasting with the fine rhodochrosite crystals are one of the reasons that make the Butte rhodochrosite specimens so desirable.   This one's aesthetic and in excellent condition.     Size:  1.4 x 2.2 x 2    Sold

TN2-7    Witherite & Fluorite - Minerva #1 Mine, Hardin County, Illinois;    Here's a real oddity: a nearly colorless fluorite crystal is growing in the termination of a stout witherite crystal!      Size:  1.7 x 1.7 x 1.7     Sold

TN2-8    Fluorite & Barite - Minerva #1 Mine, Hardin County, Illinois    $10;    Gemmy fluorite crystals have feathery barite inclusions.   Some micro-chipping present as seen in the photos.      Size:  1.8 x 2.5 x 2.2

TN2-9    Descloizite - Berg Aukus Mine, Grootfontein, Namibia    $40;    This choice thumbnail specimen normally looks like the middle photos on the bottom row, but when you shine strong light on the crystals the reddish-brown really comes out.   Overall this is in excellent condition.     Size: 2.3 x 2.3 x 2.2
