Unfortunately I have no experience with that browser. I began using IE but now I'm very happy with Firefox 4.0. Is someone out there navigating FMF with Chrome?

I tried to upload photo's about six months ago, using my ten-year old laptop (Sony Vaio) and internet explorer browser. I couldn't load multiple photo's; and a lot of the time I couldn't load even one! I then used another computer (a newer one) with firefox browser and it worked like a dream - ten photo's at a time maximum.
Right now I'm using my laptop again with IE. It's ok for text, and it can load one single photo, but it then always gets thrown out.

Hi Anton

I am enjoying your photo's. The unknown specimen looks very much like Wulfenite from Tsumeb. Your quartz from Brandberg are more likely from the Goboboseb mountains.

I use chrome browser, I will add some photos & see what happens to me.

Hi Debbie

I also think that it can be wulfenite but i have not seen wulfenite in that back / dark broun . The quartz from Namibie is the Brandberg area and the spacemins came out a old collection it can be from Goboboseb.

Its probably Biotite, which belongs to the Mica family.

Hi Anton!

Don't you know what is the locality of your apophyllite? According to Mindat database, South Africa has at least three deposits of that species:

Anton,

Please read the message I published in the thread "Collection of Leon Scheicher (Leon56)" -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=17675#17675 and please apply it to your posts. I had not time yet to add (and revise) your texts to the "File Comment" box, but I will do it on the close future. On the meantime please try to follow my suggestions.

As you can see -> https://www.topminerals.info/plog-content/thumbs/plogger-test-collection/plogger-test-album/small/37605-dsc01335_187.jpg , right now your gallery on "Gallery FMF" don't looks really nice without the details of your specimens...

Also, please use the IMA list -> https://pubsites.uws.edu.au/ima-cnmnc/MINERALlist.pdf to check the right names of your minerals before to publish them.

Thank you in advance

Jordi

Hi Jordi.

The only plaes where I can give a descripsion of the spicemin is in the massega body. If i put eney thing in at he file comment or add a attachment it takes me back to the inlock pages.

I did tri to get it like the ather pepils photos but it does not work. I also tride to send you a pm but it does also not word. But i have seen that there is samting about a 10 day waiting time for that.

It's realy a problem and will look at the ather pepil photos from now on and not add eney more photos sory for the incoviniens
