Carles,

for sure i haven't seen as many fluorapatites as John in my life - but this one is really among the finest! A truly superb piece of art created by mother nature :-)

Congratulations!

Roger and Tobi,

Very grateful too for your nice but (IMHO) exaggerated comments. The photo was shot by Scovil, not by me, and as everybody knows he is a master of perfection.

Helvite, genthelvite, calcite, quartz, magnetite

From the vendor's description: Group of very sharp tetrahedral helvite crystals with a superficial layer of genthelvite. It is on matrix, with white calcite rhombohedrons, dodecahedral magnetite and parallel growths of quartz. Very aesthetic because of the contrast between the salmon helvite-genthelvite and the calcite and quartz matrix. Specimen size: 75 mm × 52 mm × 37 mm. Main crystal size: 15 mm × 13 mm. Collected in 2012.

Huanggang Mine, Kčshíkčténg Qí, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia A.R., China.

Mark, Mike

Many thanks for your kind comments.

Mike, please, notice that the photos are really good but honestly I must say, as noted, that they have not been shot by myself.
