Danburite (GEM crystal)A small discovery in 2007 at Sakangyi produced these unique and superb quality Danburite crystals. They are notably different than most Danburites you'll see from virtually any other world locality. First off, the distinctive golden color is not what one thinks of when it comes to Danburite, as most people probably think about the colorless (or slightly pink) Danburites from Charcas, Mexico. I remember a handful of golden Danburites that came out of

Specimen # BOL711B29

I still photographed the crystals under the microscope to better illustrate their quality

Specimen# CO712B46

black cyclic twinned crystal group with virtually no damage and decent sized crystals

silvery acicular "spray" of Jamesonite needles

Many of the Galena crystals actually have Quartz crystals growing right through them

where the crystals rarely exceeded 6 mm in length

even in toenail/small miniature sized crystals like this one

bicolor (green and colorless) Apatite crystals (some are doubly terminated) measuring up to 6 mm sitting on Quartz and sulfide matrix

A great "locality" specimen for any Pyromorphite collector

and sort of resembles the pieces from Linopolis

winged termite (Isoptera)
