Tuesday Update – Europe

OUR selection for your perusal today comes from across Europe, but excluding the UK, which generally gets covered separately. As usual, we cover a good mix of old-time and ‘modern’ classics.

The German Fluorite with Malachite specimen, accompanied by a painting of it, is worth a special mention as something a little more unusual. The Native Sulphur crystal from Sicily is a particularly fine example of crystal form and on the theme of sulphur, we offer a couple of really well-crystallized specimens from the former sulphur deposit at Machów mine in Poland, including an orange-colour Native Sulphur and a superb ‘bow-tie’ Baryte spray.

There are a couple of rarities from Scandinavia, including the tin sulphide species Herzenbergite in a polished section, and a really well-crystallized Chondrodite on matrix from Kopparberg. There are so many other wonderful pieces to discover, so have a good look through and immerse yourself in the mineralogical treasures that Europe has provided.

Next week’s update will be a surprise one. With summer holiday season in full swing our normal longer-term planning has slipped back, but we will be onto our selections straight away. Stay tuned on Tuesday to see what we have to offer.

Please note: Today's featured specimens are all situated at our UK showroom.
