Not very far from you

Don
it should be an old specimen, or not ?

a lot of nice and wonderful specimen but , above that a very very educational collection !
thank you for sharing

ex: i did not kow anything (and many more) about Ilvaite in Italy

better times

What we can say is, that quartz is happy to be in your collection ;

As an Italian quartz, I would say you can name it "Roco"

I admit it is not very elegant, but...

Those are really historical specimens !
Archeology and mineralogy together.
It is very impressive.

congratulations for your red star !
your photos are absolutely fabulous;

congratulation Tobi, , it is a great achievement.
It is always a pleasure to watch your very fine minerals

the crystals are more elongated than the usual batch, nice !

Romania

This golden specimen is one on the best I have seen from this place.
Congratulations

The thread about azurite, give me the idea to do better photographs of my old azurite specimen.
the sun is shinning, I have used the natural light in the garden

thank your for this thread.
Definitively one of my favorite mineral (but quite expensive indeed) to dream of.

Definitely not an expert on scheelite, but it looks pretty close to specimens from Mt. Xuebaoding; your guess would be mine too.
