SPHERES, polished SPECIMENS & JEWELLERY

This page contains some pictures and descriptions of beautiful polished spheres, points and freeforms, along with some of the more top grade crystals and jewellery we stock. It is just a small selection of what we have or can source. The pictures of my cabinets above show what we had following our buying trip last October. Click on each picture for a full screen sized enlargement of these thumbnails.

 

Here are two "A" grade Madagascan spheres. One is simply clear quartz with lots of rainbows and veiling. The other is very clear quartz and filled with very fine silver rutile.
Each weighs .6kg and has a 2.75" diameter.
Rutilated sphere (A) £120
Clear quartz sphere (A) £100

Here are three Madagascan labradorite spheres currently for sale:
The left-hand one and right-hand one weigh .62kg each and measure 3" in diameter. One has blue colour play and the other gold colour play. The one in the centre has blue colour play and is slightly smaller, weighing .4kg and measuring 2.5" in diameter.
Large blue play sphere (A) £60
Large gold play sphere (A) £60
Medium blue play sphere (H) £45

I could not resist buying more rose quartz spheres, mostly because Madagascar has such a wonderful range of colours and transparency in this material. The smaller spheres each weigh between .25 and .75kg and have a diameter of up to 3". Asterated rose quartz (rose quartz that is finely rutilated) is quite common from Madagascar, and you can see the asterism best with the Sun reflecting on them.
Prices, from the left, top row first:
Rose quartz - 3" diameter (A) £65
Asterated rose quartz - 3" diameter (A) £75
Asterated rose quartz - 2.75" diameter (A) £70
Asterated rose quartz - 2.5" diameter (H) £30
Asterated rose quartz - 2.25" diameter (H) £25
Rose quartz - 3" diameter (A) SOLD

 

I also have a range of rose quartz freeforms, weighing between .8 and 1.5kg (see examples above), and costing between £40 and £75, depending on size and quality.

 

This is a very nice "A" grade rose quartz carved flame - the latest shape to be cut and polished by the cutters. Sometimes known as the "Mr. Whippy" (!) it has a lovely energy reminiscent of Archangels Chamuel and Charity. It weighs 1.5kg and measures 4"x 6" high.
(A) £125

I was amazed to see some larger size pyramids, some of which were cut from a nice grade of rose quartz. The outer two have a base measure of 3.5" each side, and the centre one 4.25", being 3.25" tall. The larger one is £75, the smaller ones are £35 each.

Here is a nice selection of cut rose quartz generator points. They weigh around .30kg each, and are around 3.5" high. Prices range from £20 to £25 each

 

Madagascar has a wide range of shades and varieties of natural smoky quartz. I have two medium sized spheres which are different depths of smoky colour. The one shown here is a very pale smoky, with lots of veiling and rainbows. It weighs .35kg and measures 2.5" in diameter. The other is slightly darker and larger. You will also find some fine examples of freeform and polished smoky quartz on the "larger specimens" page. The pyramids are more clear than they look - I have the smaller one (on the left) still for sale. It weighs nearly .5kg and has a base of 3.5".
Clear quartz pyramid £75
Pale smoky sphere SOLD
Medium smoky sphere £65

 

Petrified wood is another Madagascan speciality. As well as some lovely slices that are full of colour , I have five very different spheres, starting on the left side of the top row above, they are priced as follows:
Brown, red and violet shades weighing 3.2kg, diameter 5.25" (A) £200
Brown, orange and tan shades with druse weighing 4kg, diameter 5.75" (A) £200
Brown tan and red shades with wood fibres weighing 1kg, diameter 3.5" (A) £90
Orange, tan and purple shades with druse weighing .9kg, diameter 3.25" (A) £80
Purple, red and cream shades weighing .7kg, diameter 3" (A) £70

The petrified wood slices and branch ends are in a variety of weights and diameters, weighing between .2 and .9kg, and costing between £12 and £25 each depending on size and pattern.

I have several freeform pebbles (more like boulders!) of carnelian for sale, along with two spheres - the smaller one (on the right above) having tiny drusy cavities. Madagascan carnelian has some of the best depth of colour you can find, and has fascinating veining running through it. The larger sphere weighs 1.3kg with a 4" diameter and the smaller weighs .6kg with a 3" diameter. The boulders and pebbles weigh between .2kg and .8kg each.
Smaller sphere (A) £50
Larger sphere (A) £110
Largest boulder (H) £65 to
Smallest pebble £12

Here are the Ocean Jasper spheres I have left for sale. This material (especially the green and white shades) is becoming more scarce, as resources become mined out. These have a lovely soft energy, very Earth energy based. The sphere on the left has small amounts of white quartz druse, the central one has some amazingly deep green drusy cavities, and the right hand one has a fabulous "polar ice cap" of quartz!
Left hand sphere weighs 3.9kg and is 6" in diameter - (A) £200
Centre sphere weighs 3.5kg and is 5.5" in diameter - (A) £200
Right hand sphere weighs 1.2kg and is 3.5" in diameter - (A) £90

I also have two Ocean Jasper freeforms - the left hand and centre picture above shows the unusual grey, peach, white and green one and the right hand one the green one with quartz and lepidocrocite crystals.
The grey and white piece weighs 3.1kg and is 8.5" high (A) £120
The green piece weighs 1.7kg and stand 6.5" high (A) £65

Here are two beautiful and unusual spheres. The one on the left is an amazing Picture Jasper, which looks like another world or planet, whilst the right hand one is a new and rare copper Jasper / Feldspar mix.
The Picture Jasper weighs 1.6kg and measures 4.25" in diameter and costs (A) £200 - RESERVED
The Copper Jasper weighs 1.25kg and measures 3.5" in diameter and costs (A) £60

This is a new mineral combination, which has gone down a storm! It is called Graphic Feldspar (not a very inspiring name!) and contains layers of smoky quartz within a peachy-yellow / sandy coloured feldspar material. It looks and feels like big cats of the prairie, and some of the larger freeforms look like leopards or tigers lying in the golden grasses of the savannah. It is very tactile and you really feel drawn to stroke it!
This freeform weighs 3.4kg and stands 8" high. (A) £110

Madagascar has some fine examples of natural citrine, which is one of the most expensive minerals to buy per kilogram! The above examples are a few of the cut and polished crystals I stock, and range in price from about £9 to £65, depending on size, clarity and form.

Here are some examples of what I call "flame quartz" - polished quartz which has natural titanium deposits on or near the surface, which look fantastic when polished up and especially when they reflect the light. I have a few polished points and D/Ts left for sale. I also have a few large (several kg!) polished points that display the titanium deposits on one of the sides / faces, which look fabulous when they catch the light.
Prices for small points range from £7 to £20 each.

A new find from Madagascar is this dendritic quartz, which is within an opalescent form of quartz, sometimes called girasol. The dendrites have come out really well when polished. They are medium to large palm sized.
Prices range from £14 to £25 each. TWO LEFT

I have several types of rutilated quartz - smoky, clear and amethyst (which often has reddy-purple goethite inclusions), and find the rutiles may be silver, gold or deep bronze in colour. Madagascar also comes up with lots of included quartz, with a variety of materials within. These include chlorite, tourmaline and epidot - I also have a few phantom quartz, including several white phantoms (see Book of Stones again!) plus some very nice orange phantoms with rare carnelian within.
Prices range from £4 to £50 each.

Madagascar is also a good source of lepidolite and I have a few top grade polished domes for sale. Three of these and the larger polished freeform shape (weighing.53kg and measuring 5" tall) also has green tourmaline within its structure. It is not unusual to find tourmaline with lepidolite, but it is more usual for it to be pink rather than green. I have never seen this combination before, and it feels very loving.
Prices range from £6 to £30 - all domes sold, but more to come.

Here is an unusual and fabulous coloured Tschermigite cluster. This is a man-made mineral from Russia, with a soft and yet penetrating energy - the crystals form in octahedrons, which is the element of air and connected with all mental processes.
This cluster is hand-sized and costs £25

If you love the moldavite rush OR are a Pleiadian star-child far from home, come on down!
I don't normally sell much jewellery, but had such a good price on these moldavite necklaces  that I had to buy them! Both necklaces are 30" long and strung with small pieces of moldavite. One is made from polished nuggets, and weighs 54 grams, the other is made from raw nuggets and weighs 57 grams. Most moldavite will cost you at least £5 per gram for the lowest grade pieces, so these are an excellent price for their weight.
Raw moldavite necklace £200
Polished moldavite necklace £200

I also have a really good selection of moldavite (including some wonderful museum grade pieces), which are all top grade and intact, with clear markings. There are no damaged edges, and each piece has its own special energy. Click on the thumbnails for a good close-up. Pieces range from 2g to 18g in weight, and in price from £5 each to £50 each

Finally, here are a few pictures of our specimen cabinets, following our latest buying trip.
