SOLD

Description:

If you are looking for rare spheres to add to your collection, here's a very rare one. It is native silver in matrix from the famous silver mines in Cobalt, Ontario.
It is also gorgeous, large and very heavy.
Silver is not rare but from this locale it is. This is because, I understand, all silver from this location was mined in the early 1900's. The matrix is the most chatoyant dolomite I have ever seen. There may also be some cobaltite since in the same general area where this silver was mined, cobaltite was mined as well.
The spheremaker, Dale, made this wonderful native silver sphere and he did an outstanding job. The sphere has a geat polish (check the photos taken in the shade).
This native silver in matrix sphere, is very rare and a great collector's item.
The approximate weight of this silver and dolomite ball is 2 lb 4 oz , and it measures about 2.67" in diameter (68 mm).

2.2"D Cobalto Calcite Sphere Rare Pink Gemstone Ball - Congo sr24 SOLD

Description:

Dale always experiments making spheres from any mineral that falls in his hands and it is large enough to work with. Cobalto calcite is one of them. One usually finds cobalto calcite crystals in a very thin layer on top or a rock matrix but this one is all cobalto calcite
Many previous trials with cobalto did not work very well. The point in making a cobalto calcite sphere is to somehow retain the crystals since their massive form is pretty but not as impressive.
Well, this time it worked; VOILA!
The workmanship of the sphere is outstanding and the color of the cystals, nested in a couple of geode-like vugs, is just beautiful.
This cobalto calcite sphere is a rare and outstanding collector's item!
Approximate weight: 9 oz
Approximate size: 2.2 inches diameter or 56 mm
