Hi Heimo

Yesterday a most viewed photo took me to your collection page 9, I browsed through and have a few queries ...

Dscf 4936 is labelled calcite I would suggest it is a dolomite specimen
...

It's a beauty!

Sorry Tobi :)

On display over 600
Species don't know
Countries 7

Orlymanite from Wessels, KMF, is probably the rarest in my collection.

Thanks for sharing the photo of Rock Currier's worldwide search for minerals.

Great photos! Thanks.

I'll just add that the crocidolite occurs in a belt that extends from Promfret to Prieska, a distance of 300 km, and that several mines were worked in the central and northern parts of this belt.

It was fun and thanks to John White for bringing this to my attention.

I look forward to seeing the photos someday.
