Cerussite [PbCOβ] β A crystalline balance in miniature
Despite its small size, this cerussite specimen immediately captures the eye with its purity of form and elegant composition. The brown, well-defined, and lustrous crystals form a radial geometry reminiscent of a snowflake, perfectly balanced on a contrasting matrix.
The open and harmonious arrangement of the crystals enhances the mineral's transparency and brilliance, giving the piece an almost graphic lightness. It is a perfect example of how mineralogy can merge with refined aesthetics, especially for those who collect visually striking miniatures.

Dyscrasite [AgβSb] β Legacy of Bohemiaβs silver veins
This metallic sculpture of Dyscrasite carries centuries of mining history within its structure. PΕΓbram, one of the most iconic ore districts in the Czech Republic, began silver extraction as early as the Middle Ages. From silver and lead to uranium and antimony, its veins have sustained generations of minersβand collectors.
The name Dyscrasite derives from the ancient Greek word Ξ΄Ο
ΟΞΊΟΞ¬ΟΞΉΟ (dyskrasis), meaning βbad alloyβ or βimperfect mixture,β referencing the unstable combination of metals that form this mineral.
This specimen from Uranium Mine No. 21 stands as a testament to that deep legacy: a mineral forged through geological complexity and human perseverance.

Dyscrasite [AgβSb] β Metallic elegance from the depths of Bohemia
A true gem for metallic specimen lovers: this Dyscrasite from the historic uranium mines of PΕΓbram showcases a refined cluster of crystals in dark gray tones with delicate iridescence.
A rare balance between raw power and geometric elegance.
Once a prolific center for silver, lead, and uranium extraction, the PΕΓbram region holds a central place in the mining tradition of the Czech Republic. This specimen reflects the mineral richness of a district where history, geology, and aesthetics converge.

Topaz [AlβSiOβ(F,OH)β] β Light trapped in a stone
Some crystals tell a story through their shape. This topaz, grown slowly within the folds of Burmese granites, seems to have captured a fragment of eternal light. Its sharp, polished faces, transparent like spring water, reflect a quiet calmβa natural order that resists the chaos of time.
Every detail speaks of balance: the delicacy of its champagne hue, the purity of its structure, the tiny inclusions suspended like thoughts within glass.
This is a specimen that deserves contemplation and close observationβan elegant presence for any refined collection.
