Many great specimens coming from Iran. Given events since Tucson 2020, I wish had not constrained my purchases. | |

As much variability as this generates, it is interesting to consider results from addition of phosphate ions and silica ions; and the resulting stability fields of chrysocolla, libethenite, and pseudo ... | |

I also like Barytes from Clara Mine, though there is none in my collection at the moment. Have you ever been to the Clara Mine Museum in Black Forest? I was there some years ago and I can highly recom ... | |

I'm glad to hear there are some undamaged specimens. All those I had seen so far were damaged & thought it might take some time for the miners to learn. Apparently some good specimens are randomly ... | |

Just back from a month in Cornwall. It was great to see minerals in displays, to obtain a few mineral specimens, and to see all the remnants of mining activity around tin, copper, and kaolin. It's act ... | |
