That's a nice large stibnite specimen Don! The calcite crystals on the fluorite are very aesthetic.

Don,
The morphology of those 'sandwich' calcites is really distinctive. Enough so, that I think a more specific location can be determined.
Regards,
Michael

Thank you, Mike and Michael.
Michael, I emailed the dealer from whom I had acquired the "sandwich" calcites this week. I asked him if he had a specific location for that specimen and he told me that China was all the information he had.
Regards,
Don

| Some of these were floating around Tucson this year. If this was bought recently it might be from that group.

Thank you very much, Jordi and Bob.
Jordi, I think that is the most likely location and I will label my specimen accordingly.
Bob, I have had it nearly a year.
With much appreciation,
Don

Very interesting Galena, it almost looks like an old type set block from a printing press. Very nice selection of specimens Don.

Two Pyrite Specimens
The first one is from Duff Quarry, Ohio. The second one is a pyrite with an interesting habit.
Dr. R. Peter Richards wrote an article that featured a detailed analysis of many of the crystal forms found at the Duff Quarry. The article was published in the 1987 Mineralogical Record, Vol 18, number 6, pages 391-398. The title was "Pyrite Crystals from the Duff Quarry."
