Smoky Quartz SkullA stylized crystal skull carved from a light smoky quartz, with several attractive bubble veils and an internal separation that produces an attractive rainbow effect. 1.1 kg, 11 cm. (4 1/2"). Ex Douglas Rose collection. Crystal skulls are a number of human-skull hardstone carvings. They are often claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders, however, none of the specimens made available for scientific study have been authenticated as pre-Columbian in origin. The skulls are often claimed to exhibit paranormal phenomena by some members of the New Age movement, and have often been portrayed as such in fiction. These skulls were created in this context.[No Reserve]Very fine condition.Starting Price: £5

Lot 1232
Bronze Age English Socketted Arrow or Javelin PointLate Bronze Age, 1,200-900 BC A cast bronze socketted projectile point with symmetrical tapering convex cutting edges and a neatly formed securing rivet hole to each side of the socket. See Evans, Sir J.The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain, 1881, p.326 for a similar item of looped and socketted form. 18 grams, 49 mm. (2"). Found by Ian Price in the side of a river bank, to the south of Eye, Suffolk, just off the road to Occold, 7th July 2012. This is a most unusual item, apparently without direct parallel. It is obviously too small to be considered a spearhead and the internal diameter of the socket suggests a shaft diamater of some 13 mm, which seems large for an arrow shaft. It is possible that it is the point for a javelin or light throwing spear, possibly with feathered flights and perhaps thrown with the aid of an atlatl or similar. A looped and socketted example from Ireland, with a more defined blade, is known. Although a complete item in its own right, it is perhaps possible that this item has been contemporaneously formed for the purpose by adapting a small spearhead tip.Extremely fine condition. Excessively rare, possibly unique.Starting Price: £5

Anglo-Saxon Edward Confessor - Chester / Leofwine - Expanding Cross Penny1050-1051 AD, light coinage. Obv: profile bust with sceptre and +EDPARD REX legend. Rev: expanding voided cross with annulet at centre and +LEOFPINEONLEGA legend with NL ligated for the moneyer Leofwine at Chester mint. S. 1176; N. 820. 1.05 grams. The mint abbreviation reads LEGA or LECA which, although potentially good readings for the mint at Leicester, there are very similar readings seen at Chester. The moneyer Leofwine is well represented on the Chester types but is not known at Leicester. The balance of probability suggests therefore that this is a Chester mint coin.Very fine, slightly double-struck, reverse a little better. Rare (only one other example in EMC, from different dies).Starting Price: £150

(1 1/3"). Ex Douglas Rose collection. For many thousands of years, the most striking representative of the quartz family, amethyst, has been a jewel coveted by kings, princes and religious leaders.

The ideal grade is called Deep Siberian and has a primary purple hue of around 75–80%, with 15–20% blue and (depending on the light source) red secondary hues. The Greeks believed amethyst gems could prevent intoxication, while medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets as protection in battle in the belief that amethysts heal people and keep them cool-headed.Very fine condition. A few small, minor inclusions do not detract from this superb stone.Starting Price: £150
Lot 524
Collection of Polished OpalsA group of polished opals in freeform cuts, in a mixture of colour and clarity. 3.27 grams (16.35 carats total), 9-16 mm. (1/2 - 3/4"). Ex Douglas Rose collection.

Opal ranges from clear through white, gray, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, magenta, rose, pink, slate, olive, brown, and black. Of these hues, the reds against black are the most rare, whereas white and greens are the most common.[8]Very fine condition. All natural (no doublets or triplets).Starting Price: £100

Crystals of the Silver Mineral Pyrargyrite on MatrixA group of well-formed and lustrous crystals of the silver-antimony sulfide mineral pyrargyrite, on matrix. 47 grams, 40 mm. (1 3/4"). Ex Douglas Rose collection; ex Christopher Cavey (with label); from San Cristoba, Morrochocha, Peru. Pyrargyrite is a sulphosalt mineral consisting of silver sulphantimonide, Ag3SbS3 and known also as dark red silver ore or ruby silver (German, Rotgiiltigerz). It is an important source of the metal and is closely allied to the corresponding sulpharsenide known as proustite or light red silver ore. Ruby silver was mentioned by Georg Agricola in 1546, but the two varieties so closely resemble one another that they were not completely distinguished until chemical analyses were made.[No Reserve]Very fine condition. Rare, light sensitive.Starting Price: £5
