tungsten, manganese tungstate. Good crystals from Peru and Colorado, including
the famous Sweethome Mine, but the Peruvian ones are larger. $190.00 (Stock #Huebnerite-1) Other Views: Huebnerite 2 | J]Huebnerite 3 | |

Rare! Gemmy Elbaite Tourmaline on sceptered Quartz
crystals. Minas Gerais, Brazil. Old piece from 30 years ago or more. Some of the
tourmaline grades into schorl. This is the only locality in the world known to

Salinas, Coronel Murta, in Minas Gerais is the most likely mine, based just on
pictures I've seen on the internet. $500.00 (Stock #BrzQuartzElbaite l) Other Views: BrzQrtzElbaite 2 | BrzQrtzElbaite 3 | |

Huebnerite and Quartz, Pasto Bueno Mine, Peru. Older
piece, nice crystalization. 1.75"x2"x1". In the late 70's, this mine produced
superb crystals of rhodochrosite, quartz, huebnerite, and other minerals of this
suite, so similar to the minerals of the world-famous Sweethome Mine in
Colorado, until they mined through the oxidized zone a few years later.
Huebnerite is a tungstate mineral of manganese. $300.00 (Stock #Huebnerite-2) Other Views: Huebnerite 2 | Huebnerite 3 | Huebnerite 4 | |

| PLEASE NOTE: Much effort has been made in the attempt to get as accurate a picture as possible of our gemstones. Keep the following in mind while shopping: Cameras do not see color exactly the same as the human eye and lighting conditions often cause large variances. When taking pictures for the web, we have found that it is very difficult to capture the brilliance that the human eye sees and photos cannot often show all of the stones' ambiance and jewelry pieces' fine detail. Also computer monitors vary and often color tones are set to suit the viewer's preferences. When shopping, remember that "the pictures are meant as a rough guide only." All our products have a money-back guarantee (see terms above) so there is no risk in ordering from the Buena Vista Gem Works. | |
