Supurb Pink Cobaltion Smithsonite of the best color!
This specimen has all the qualities of a top specimen and is clean & undamaged apart from a fault in the bottom corner that appears to be natural as I can't discern that it has been repaired-it is stable & does not detract from the overall high aesthetics of this beautiful piece! comes with Lauries catalogue card #1253

A rare old classic from this location that would I'd say date from the 50's or 60'& it originally came from Earl E. Calvert. the specimen is breathtaking and so aesthetic it is hard to part with and I'm sure anybody viewing this would agree that this is one impressive reticulated Cerussite worthy of a place in a fine collection & comes with Lauries catalogue card #404

Very nice example of this rare Silver Chloride in large for species even rarer well formed waxy crystals to 6mm-Broken Hill was the source of many rare silver minerals such as this and Bromargyrite as an example, this is also another great historical piece having been mined in the very ealy years of the mine making this a must have for the Broken Hill collector!

Large rare specimen of large Azurite crystals altering to Malachite that is not obvious until you view the cross section of one crystal at the edge-the Azurite crystals that attain up to 2 cm in size plus, have a thin outer coating but are gemmy & lustrous! there are several rubs on the edge of some of the Azurites but for sheer size of this specimen & its crystals easily makes up for this as a rare hard to get specimen & also comes with Lauries catalogue card #1480

Gorgeous Wulfenite from this classic closed locality-this specimen dates from the 1960's and had large Orange/Caramel tabular Wulfenites on a dark matrix with some opposite sides of the crystals dusted with dark Dezcloizite, this was another surprise from Lauries collection & shows the aesthetic qulaities of much of the materail contained in it.
