Detailed Description A group of pseudo-hexagonal crystals of strontianite up to 1.8 cm. The crystals are sharp cyclic twins. In excellent condition, a couple of small incomplete crystals at the periphery. Collected in 1981 (original label accompanies it – a hardened putty or similar substance obscures part of the label). Stands perfectly for display as […]

Detailed Description At first glance this looks like a cluster of quartz crystals (!)… these are super pseudo-hexagonal stronitanite crystals. The crystals are lustrous and sharp, translucent to transparent. In very good condition overall, there are a few missing tips. Stands perfectly for display as photographed. These are great strontianite crystals. Browse more Specimens from […]

Detailed Description This specimen features slender pseudo-hexagonal strontianite crystals (the field of view in this first photo is 2.0 cm). The stronianite crystals are sharp and as lustrous as strontianite gets, with the cyclic twinning patterns visible at the terminations. In excellent condition, a few incomplete crystals around the periphery where this specimen was removed […]

Detailed Description This specimen is crowned with exceptional sharp, pseudo-hexagonal plate-like crystals of strontianite. These crystals show cyclic twinning, but most of the pseudo-hexagonal strontianite crystals from this locality form tall stacked crystals or crystal aggregates – this form of platy crystals is very uncommon. In excellent condition – no damage. This is a beautiful […]

Detailed Description This piece hosts an absolutely superb strontianite crystal – it is a sharp textbook pseudo-hexagonal crystal showing cyclic twinning. Upon examination, you can make out the “snowflake” pattern on the termination. The prism faces are lustrous with striations, and the crystal is 0.9 cm tall. In excellent condition, no damage visible without magnification […]

Detailed Description This piece features strontianite crystals up to 1.5 cm sitting prominently on glistening matrix. These pseudo-hexagonal strontianite crystals have distinct zones of internal golden colour. The prism faces are sharp, and the terminations are comprised of a myriad of tiny parallel points. In excellent condition, no damage. A great display specimen of strontianite. […]

Detailed Description A brilliant, sharp, lustrous, gemmy 1.3 cm crystal of strontianite on matrix. The psuedo-hexagonal crystal is prominently striated and has golden internal colour zones at each end. In excellent condition – at the side, the tip of the crystal has a small indentation – either a chip or an interrupted growth, not obvious […]

Detailed Description This is an amazing specimen, featuring a stack of pseudo-hexagonal cyclic twins of strontianite. These strontianite crystals are as sharp and lustrous as strontianite gets. Collected in 1992, accompanied by an original collection label. In excellent condition – the top crystals are pristine, the section part way down the stack is not damaged […]

Detailed Description This specimen features gorgeous sharp, pseudo-hexagonal cyclic twins of strontianite. The strontianite crystals have lustrous striated prism faces and have golden internal zoning near the terminations – a classic look for fine crystals from Oberdorf an der Laming. In excelent condition, a couple of minor nicks visible upon close inspection. This is a […]
