| This may not look spectacular at first sight, and it really was hard to photograph, but i had to take a picture: A specimen with a 4 cm zircon from Switzerland! The specimen behind also had a crystal that was only slightly smaller. |

Yes, this hematite specimen is really great. Actually i'm not a big fan of hematite roses, but this large one ... wow!
But my favourite of all the specimens is the beautiful emerald from Habach Valley. Here's another photo of it that i haven't already posted. It's 10 cm wide and the crystals are 20 - 30 mm. Just wonderful!
