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. Good standard of carving for difficult materials.Starting Price: £5

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
