Carles:

When I wrote "enhance" I was only referring to improving the image as it represents the specimen. I would never suggest that you would "cheat" by making the specimen look better than it really is. I personally don't do the enhancement because I have not learned how to use photoshop or paintshop pro or any of the other tools available for changing the images. I have no problem with those who do.

Hi John!

Learning how to use an enhancing photo tool is much easier than you think. In fact, it's a matter of 5 minutes to begin getting the first results. If you ever need some help I can offer you a little of mine, privately (provided you use the same program as I do, the license of which costs less than $70).

The cervantite I mean stibiconite with Baryte really speaks to me. The contrast of the earthy stibiconite with the splendent Baryte, set against the background of the iron-stained quartz, well, it all just comes together perfectly.

Is there a lot of this stuff around Carles, or was it something that you just stumbled across somewhere? You may have set me on the hunt....

Thanks again for all your posts.

Ed

Ed,
I picked up a large cabinet piece a couple of years ago, athough it was labeled as from Xikuangshan Antimony Mine, near Lengshuijiang, Shaoyang County, Hunan Province, China. I'll post a photo on my collection pages in a few minutes for comparison -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=7233#7233

To Ed Huskinson:

Ed,

No, my Baryte with stibiconite is just an isolated specimen I purchased two years ago. As you may have seen, GneissWare has posted another one that must be from the same mine.

Thanks for your comments!

To GneissWare:

Hi!

I'm sure your Baryte-stibiconite comes from the same locality as mine. But I don't know which is the right one. Perhaps some Chinese minerals connoisseur out there can help.

Ed,
Try googling "Xikuangshan stibiconite Baryte". You may find a few things of interest.

Hi Bob!

And try googling "Lushi stibiconite Baryte". You may find a few things of interest too.

We need a Chinese minerals expert!!

Carles,

I'll be meeting with several Chinese experts on Thursday for dinner, and I'll ask their opinions on both pieces. I checked Mindat, and both are pieces are pictured, each with their respective localities, so that is no help.

I'll post whatever I find out, but even then, it may not clarify anything.

Bob

He is not here (as far as I know) but he is friend and helper of the Mineralienatlas web page. Please take a look on this page of Mineralienatlas -> https://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/Mineralienportrait/Stibnit

Carles,
The consensus on the Stibnite on Baryte specimen from the Chinese experts is that both are from the Xikuangshan Antimony Mine.

Hi Bob!

Where can I confirm that consensus? I must be sure before editing all my labels, physical and on the net.

Thanks,
